Hard surface key shots in Figma
I've been experimenting over the last couple of months in Figma, using it to produce product key shots as vectors. The goal is to create assets that are easy to place and arrange in scenes without going into Blender or Cinema 3D.
My purpose for this is to make it easier to create color variants, build layouts with closely matched branded background colors, and just generally make comping web pages faster for myself when working on Tile web stuff.
And since these are all 100% vectors, it means that they can be edited on more modest hardware than would be needed for full-on 3D renders. The Apple Watches above can have their band color changed quickly and easily right inside of Figma, for example—either to test new colors or to produce experiences like the Apple Watch Studio.
I've been publishing these on my Figma profile if you're curious about how I put them together 👀
