Creating isometric illustrations can be a real challenge, but with Project Neo, you can create in 3D, with full control over perspective and lighting, while building amazing scenes from simple shapes. #ProjectNeo #CommunityxAdobe #AdobeNeo #isometric #vector #3Dart #3Dscene #3Ddesign #3DIllustration

In a cozy corner of a town, stood a hipster snowman, with a quirky frown. His scarf was plaid, his hat was tweed, he sipped on lattes and read books with speed. Here's a little holiday project created with Project Neo, Illustrator & After Effects! #projectneo #aftereffects #illustrator #digitalart

Hey just a heads up that I’m looking for a job. I’ve done technical design work on apex legends, astroneer, and shipped a couple of my own games. I know it’s crazy rough out there for everyone right now. I’d love to keep working in games but I’m starting to realistically wonder if a pivot is needed

I recently felt inspired to design some retro sci-fi gadgets with a modern twist. Check out this device I created using Substance Modeler, #substancepainter and #adobeaftereffects I don't know what it does, but at least it powers on 😀

Real Lens Flares has next-level obscuration. The flare doesn’t just get occluded, it breaks up into mini-flares. And you can see the silhouette of the occlusion in the inter-reflections!
