AFTERCUBE — AI Visual Worlds From Raw Ideas
For the Google Stitch Challenge, I created AFTERCUBE — a dark cinematic AI visual studio that turns raw ideas into website concepts, brand systems, motion direction, and immersive digital worlds.
The idea was simple:
What if one rough prompt could become a complete visual direction?
Not just a layout.
Not just a dashboard.
A full world.
AFTERCUBE is designed as a premium creative engine where users can start with a raw idea and generate cinematic website concepts, visual identity direction, interface systems, brand atmospheres, featured world concepts, and motion-ready digital experiences.
The final landing page tells a clear story:
Raw idea → visual engine → generated worlds → start creating
Process
I spent around [add hours here] hours exploring, designing, breaking, rebuilding, and refining this concept.
This was not a one-shot design. I went through 20+ iterations before finding the final direction.
Some early versions felt too much like generic SaaS dashboards. Some sections looked like separate websites instead of one continuous experience. A few visual directions were too cluttered, too flat, or not premium enough.
So I kept stripping things back and rebuilding around one stronger visual language:
dark cinematic background
burnt-orange energy
oversized editorial typography
3D character and engine visuals
subtle grid texture
premium Framer-style spacing
animated interactions
strong section rhythm
The biggest challenge was keeping the page consistent while moving from hero to product explanation to showcase sections. I wanted the whole page to feel like one visual world, not random screens stitched together.
How I used Stitch
I used Stitch to rapidly explore different layouts, test visual directions, refine the brand system, and push the final landing page into a more polished prototype direction.
The workflow included:
Exploring multiple concepts and brand names
Testing different dark visual systems
Locking the final direction around AFTERCUBE
Building the cinematic hero section
Creating the Visual Engine section
Adding Featured Worlds as generated concept examples
Creating a final prompt-driven CTA
Adding motion ideas, hover states, glow interactions, and scroll animation direction
What I focused on
My goal was not to create another generic AI landing page.
I focused on:
strong first impression
cinematic art direction
bold typography
premium dark UI
orange energy system
clear product storytelling
interactive motion
visual consistency
a page that feels like a real creative AI product
Future direction
If I had more time, I would expand AFTERCUBE into a deeper product prototype with:
a full AI generation flow
additional inner product pages
more generated world examples
more custom 3D elements
animated world-building states
a detailed brand system page
export screens for Framer, Figma, and campaign assets
interactive prompt-to-world transitions
This version focuses on the core brand, landing page, and product story first. The next step would be turning it into a fuller interactive product experience.
Feedback on Stitch
Stitch was useful for fast ideation and visual exploration. It helped me test multiple directions quickly and move from rough concept to polished landing page much faster than starting from a blank canvas.
The hardest part was maintaining consistency across sections. Some outputs looked like separate pages, so I had to keep refining prompts around continuity, layout rhythm, spacing, and brand discipline.
Overall, Stitch was powerful for exploration, but the best results came from treating it like a creative partner — testing, correcting, refining, and pushing the design direction intentionally.
Final concept
AFTERCUBE is an AI visual studio for turning rough creative thoughts into cinematic digital worlds.
One prompt.
One engine.
A complete visual world.

Obsessed with the vibe you created here.
Perfect execution. There is nothing to change here.
Wow, Rehbaz, this cinematic art direction is stunning! Leaning into that dark UI with the burnt-orange energy and oversized typography gives the whole concept an incredibly premium, high-end feel.

That's how I got to the CapCut World LA event at the Audrey Irmas Pavilion. The trip was... intense! 🦄
This is my entry for the new Contra × CapCut challenge.
My workflow:
① I created the character sheet and the prop sheet for the mushroom, as well as the location sheets for a nature landscape and the Audrey Irmas Pavilion.
② I created still shots using my internal AI image generation tool.
③ I created trippy 2D/3D animated images to use as the opening frames of the videos.
④ I imported all the images into the CapCut Video Studio and used the CapCut AI to animate them.
⑤ I created the music in ElevenLabs/ElevenMusic.
⑥ I edited the videos using DaVinci Resolve.
NOMA: Product Launch Template
A bold, loopable launch animation for any product, built entirely in SVGator.
An orange spark bursts into a blue stage, ingredients scatter outward, and the product drops in with real weight before the headline, benefits and call-to-action land beat by beat. Every layer is named, every line of text is editable, and the product image swaps in seconds. Change the copy, colours and photo, and the choreography stays exactly the same.
Built with the SVGator MCP: the full scene, layer structure and keyframed motion were created through MCP calls, then polished in the editor.
Clean animation, smart design, and great execution! 🔥🚀
AI video is not about pressing generate.
It’s about controlling the direction before anything moves.
This short beauty concept was built from:
• one veeeeeeeery detailed prompt
• 8 reference frames
• basic editing and polish in Photoshop and After Effects
The interesting part for me is not that AI can make a video.
It’s that you can start directing it with a clear visual system:
• same color language,
• same model mood,
• same product world,
• same campaign feeling across stills and motion.
That’s where AI gets useful for brands.
Not as a random generator, but as a way to prototype campaign ideas faster, test visual directions earlier and turn static concepts into motion without a full production setup.
Tools:
• Magnific (Nano Banana 2 + Seedance 2.0)
• Adobe (Photoshop + After Effect)
