Recently I added this 3D model, available to purchase on my profile! It's a .blend file and is 100% made by a human (no AI).
Suggested Use Cases: Web design, motion graphics, game development, or artistic rendering.
Why not another 3D render or animation created by AI?
First off, there won't be any copyright issues because this work is entirely original. Second, because it was created by a human, its topology is 100% clean. To put it another way, the quality is excellent, and you are purchasing what you are viewing (I'm not selling lovely photos and then selling you another piece of art or crap).
Calling out that the Blender asset is fully human-made gives the model a clear point of view in the current market. Which use case do you most hope buyers explore with it?
Circle to Square - from idea to physical product
I designed a complete chess set from the ground up, starting as an idea, developed through 3D visualisation, and carried all the way to a final physical product.
Every piece traces the same transformation: circle becoming square. Ceramic pieces, chrome bases, a stone board.
What started as a shape study became one of the most-appreciated pieces in my portfolio, now sold as a finished product. Sometimes the simplest idea, carried consistently, goes further than complexity ever could.
So amazing π
This submission was made with a little bit of pure, mindless vandalism against AI.
I wanted a killer website for my brand, Discern Like a Rebel. So I fed Claude with Envato assets (fonts, textures, illustrations, sound, templates, generations...) and asked it to build. It did. But it was all clean grids and neat boxes.
So, to make it more me, I let the drawings spill over the nav bar and loosened the grid up. Even than, the generator kept sliding back to safe, when it refused to animate a nude Greek statue (only once though). But rebels fight haha.
The big step was to bring it to life with looping animations, paper tears, and hand-drawn lines (all using Envato's library).
A pro designer would have moved the drawing in seconds. I spent my time changing AI's mind instead, since I am not one yet. Funny enough, that friction became the creative process. AI can follow a rule beautifully. It can't feel when breaking one makes something come alive.
I must say, very on par with my brand's philosophy.
P.S. This is a re-upload because the sound quality on the first attempt was awful. Enjoy much better audio this time around!
The idea of using AI while keeping a deliberately rebellious, imperfect brand voice is a fun tension. Which Envato asset pushed the Discern Like a Rebel site in the most unexpected direction?
