Hey! 🙌 Guess it's time to introduce myself to the Contra community.
I'm Dmitri, a calm and responsible 3D motion designer based in Estonia.
For the past 3 years I've been eating keyframes for breakfast in my favorite software, Blender. I like turning pretty much anything into motion, just because moving things are more fun than static ones.
So... if you need to animate a dashboard, bring some infographics to life, add motion to your product's UI, or build an explainer video that actually explains what your product does, and you want a solid result with updates along the way instead of radio silence until the deadline, that's me.
(And if you know someone who needs exactly that, send them my way too 🙂)
Cool work!
Thank you! 😊
Nice!
Thanks!😊
Great work!!
Appreciate it!🙌
the purple sphere and glass rings look so cool
Appreciate the feedback!
Cool work
That green and purple ring stack has such a nice glassy quality to it. The "radio silence until the deadline" line hit home too, that seems like the real thing that makes clients hesitant to hand off motion work. Do most of your leads come from other designers referring you, or from product teams finding you directly?
Welcome, Dmitri!!
🙌 🙌
Welcome man
Welcome to the community! Three years of eating keyframes for breakfast sounds like a solid diet. What's been the toughest thing to make look believable in Blender so far?
Haha, honestly, sometimes lighting takes way more time than I’d like
Excellent work👏🔥🔥
Thank you!
very impressive design
Really nice motion work!
Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing more of you
This deserves more than just liking, this deserves to be featured! 🏆 Super smooth Blender 3D motion keyframing welcome to the community!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Hopefully, one day I’ll get featured 🙏
Great way to be introduced...that responsible was obviously well stressed
This is really impressive 👏
Looks amazing! ❤️
Awesome Work
Thanks!
Welcome to the community! 🎉
Thats Cooool!!
Thank you!! 🙌
Welcome to the community. That glass material on the disc render is really clean, the refraction reads convincingly without looking overdone.
Thanks!
Nice intro, Dmitri! Curious about your workflow when you're animating product UI or dashboards in Blender, how do you usually handle the transition from the original Figma/UI assets into 3D while keeping everything pixel-accurate? Do you rebuild the interface elements in...
Wow, very good ✨

15 seconds of smooth UI, editorial layouts, and micro-interactions.
Kept the micro-interactions snappy, typography expressive, and transitions buttery smooth.
Rate this UI animation from 1 to 10 in the comments, or tell me what you’d improve! 😉
Solid 10/10 bro! 🔥 Micro-interactions are super snappy and transitions are buttery smooth indeed. Editorial layout game is strong. Keep it up!
Figma Football
An unofficial football concept inspired by Figma and its visual language.
The ball was created using a custom 3D generator I built in ChatGPT, with animated interface icons and graphics developed with Claude.
Part design experiment, part exploration of how custom AI-powered tools can become part of the creative process.
The interface icons translate surprisingly well into a football identity.
The brief was simple. Show a new personalized news feature.
The obvious solution was to show a few clicks in the UI as you choose your topics. Clear, but not very interesting.
So I pulled that moment out of the interface first and turned it into a cloud of topics. You get the idea before you even see the product, then the video drops you back into the real UI and shows where it lives.
I really like these tiny decisions. The feature stays the same, but it feels easier to get and a lot more fun to watch.
Pulling the topic cloud outside the UI makes the feature instantly clearer.
