Practising motion design is always the right choice, even when it’s something this simple.
No brief, no client, no deadline. Just a random traffic light model (made by my own hands, no AI slop) and some free time.
A few keyframes, some lighting, a couple of materials, and the piece is done.
Anyway, sending you all a green light today, no overthinking, no waiting around for the “right” moment 🙌

Zero Blender knowledge and this was my first time playing around with Blender + Claude Code 😭 so cool seeing it actually work.
The lighting idea was inspired by In Common With - such a cool lighting brand/site. If you love lamps, definitely check them out!
I just recently got Codex to finally work in Blender. Idk if it was just bogged down every time I tried or maybe I was trying to do too much (I was trying to build a NFL helmet replica) for my first thing ever with Claude and Blender and it kept crashing lol.
Frames from the Nexterra Branding & Website Project.
Nexterra builds and operates clean energy systems across five categories: solar, wind, hydroelectric, storage, and nuclear, including small modular reactors.
Every renewable energy brand reaches for the same visual shorthand: soft greens, leaf marks, rounded type. Nexterra needed to enter that category and immediately read as something else, a company confident enough in its technology that it didn't need to borrow the category's usual softness to be trusted.
We built an energetic identity that moves away from that usual muted earthy brand tone.
The logomark, a lightning bolt folded into the shape of an "N." It's built to work at favicon size and needs no supporting tagline to explain what it means.
Nexterra’s palette starts with a ashy null black that anchors every layer then splits into three energetic accents: Electric Yellow (Energy Generation), Safe Green (Energy Storage) and Cool Mint (Energy Grid).
The 2.5 dimensional illustrations took the most experimentation. It sits in between something that isn't quite flat and isn't quite 3D, with enough depth to feel real and also enough simplicity to comprehend what it represents.
