I made 3D in rive work. A-maze-ing_rive a tiny engine for 3D retro style games, with text editable maps, mini-map, shading, CRT scan lines(accidentally 😏 ). And importantly onscreen hover and click controls (so it works inside rive 😎).

My first post on linkedin showing off rive-scripting, well outside my normal wheelhouse. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/paul-n-0298943a5_3d-retro-game-design-build-interactive-maps-share-7422861073361440768-VAiF?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAGNDpCEBGl1GOxedeBQ4tve1EZfHy3aCJlY

We're making Astral - a premium Framer commerce template.

Built for hardware, tech, and streetwear brands that don't want to look like everyone else. Retro-futurist, brutalist, a little weird on purpose.

This is one of the first interactions we locked in, a pixel reveal menu, built from scratch as a Framer code component. No plugins. Every pixel spreads from a corner on click, fills the screen, then the menu appears. Direction, speed, grid size, color, fill - all customizable !!

How does it feel?

That pixel reveal menu is genius — retro-futurist done right.

I Created a Simple 3D Apple in Blender 🍎 | Beginner Practice Model Just finished creating this basic 3D apple using Blender! 🧑‍💻 Still exploring the world of 3D modeling, and this was a fun little project to practice shapes, shading, and lighting. Let me know what you think — feedback is always welcome! #Blender3D #3DModeling #BlenderBeginner #CGI

Nice work! Looks like a great start with Blender. The lighting and shading already look pretty good.

I built this 3D animated promo for Aura Sips! 🧃✨ I wanted to bring their natural craft beverage brand to life with a fun, dynamic, and refreshing visual story. Let me know what you think!
