That level of detail on a USB-C connector is impressive, the lighting treatment makes hardware look like art.
Creative Mind 🔥
Wow that looks like a spaceship, which I'm sure you can also model comfortably :)

Just wrapped this material exploration for a Lemanoosh course and had to share it.
The challenge: take the Nintendo Switch, one of the most iconic consumer electronics out there, and rebuild it entirely through a natural material language. Cork, compressed fiber, bone white. No form changes. Just materials doing all the work.
What surprised me most was how much personality shifts when you change the surface. Same silhouette, completely different feeling.
Beautiful exploration 👏 Translating an iconic consumer product into a natural material language is a fascinating constraint. Curious — what was the hardest trade-off between realism and usability?
I’ve been experimenting with a new loop between 3D and AI. I started with my usual setup in Cinema 4D and Redshift, then took those renders into ComfyUI with a custom LoRA I trained. To get the exact look I wanted, I did a second round of training in Krea.ai. The final image is a mashup of those stylized AI generations and the vibrant colors from the original 3D files.
Victor, your work is fire 🔥
Can you believe I made this in seconds in Figma Make? 👀
Okay… not the final design. But the concept? Yes.
I’m currently building a digital product, and this is how I explore ideas before committing to the actual design.

🟡 Figma Make isn’t replacing design thinking. It’s helping me move faster in the messy early stage.
🟡 Instead of starting from a blank canvas, I can test structure, layout, and direction quickly — then refine everything intentionally inside Figma.
🟡 Exploration first. Design decisions second. ✨
