A Personal Journey Into Creating an Illustration Style
summary
Claim: set concrete rules—limited palette, edge and scale compromises, fixed camera angle—and the style emerges. Workflow uses Cinema 4D + Octane Render with post in After Effects (blender recommended for beginners) and roots in 3ds Max. Concrete results: ~60 isometric GIFs made by 2015, a puzzle piece that takes >1 month, avatars for mobilize and illustrations for Lyft and n26, and experimental toys and a 3D printed stop‑motion that, while slow, produce unique outcomes after more than 10 years freelancing.
