It all begins with a cube.
When working in 3D, we use the cube to sketch ideas, test animations, and build scenes, often long before the final piece comes together.
This time, instead of replacing the cube, I decided to make it the star of the show.
This project is a fun tribute to the hardest-working shape in 3D.
Let’s give the cube the recognition it deserves.
INSANE 🔥

What does sketch to shippable actually look like in real time? 🎥
Honestly, I went in doubting it, and came out convinced, for early concepting at least. 🤔 I recorded the whole process, doodle to final.
Calling all desginers to run it on your own idea and drop the result below. Here's the prompt I edited, templated so you can run it on your own campaign:
"Create an original artwork inspired by the attached sketch. [describe your product: material, finish, colors, depth]. Main focus on [your hero element]. Do not preserve exact strokes or shapes. Boldly reimagine its forms, proportions, colors, materials, and details. Never trace or retain the original lines, integrate their ideas naturally through texture, lighting, and color. For simple sketches, invent a richer interpretation. Ask me about preferred artistic style with a few options."
Where does it hold up, where does it break? 👀

Airbnb 3d icon I created a while back.
The soft bevels and controlled shadowing give the mark a convincing physical presence without muddying the silhouette. The coral-on-indigo palette also makes the icon pop beautifully.
