Someone shared a tutorial (for C4D) here >>463317
basically you do an abstract thingie in a 3D program and the rest you do in photoshop/gimp/etc

And also look at references, this style is kinda old so there are tons of examples out there. Yandex is pretty good to find similar images.

if you ever figure it out tell us. i've been trying to figure it out for years. there are tuts on deviantart for C4D and Maya. haven't really seen much for blender and blender doesn't have some of the tools/same vertex snapping algorithms that made this possible.
the style is called "metalheart" or "trendwhore" btw. also common with this style is Bryce (3d software) metaball

Ture but you can do your best to translate those old tuts in to something that blender work with

I really really really really hate synthwave like you wouldn't believe. People take this one singular aspect of 80s retrofuturism and make it the only thing that pops up in google image's search results when you look up 80s aesthetics. Holy fuck shit do I fucking hate idc if you guys call me a sperg I have this deep visceral hatred for that aesthetic. Maybe it's the oversaturation, or the fact that it's performatively retro. What happened to the other stuff associated with 80s retrofuturism like in pic related? Is it not "80s" enough for people or what

They are called "rivers" and of course people have developed strategies for preventing them by adjusting type parameters or the copy itself to make them go away.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_(typography)

Strategies for Adjusting Typography to Minimize Rivers

To minimize rivers, designers can try:

-Adjusting the font size or style: Changing the font can help to reduce the occurrence of rivers.

- Modifying the text alignment or justification: Switching from justified to left-aligned text, for example, can help to eliminate rivers.
-Tweaking the hyphenation settings: Adjusting the hyphenation settings can help to reduce the number of spaces between words and minimize river formation.
-Using a different line spacing or leading: Increasing the line spacing can help to reduce the visibility of rivers.

Today is the first day of immersion in the schizophrenic world of my fantasies and the world of everything.

Hey Chat. Mucho love to you all.

I have been creating theme based AI Summons. Concept is when someone comments a theme i will create an AI summon relevant to the theme.

So far not going much feedback nor traction. So just creating themes as I go along.

Initially thought this is a cool idea. Not so sure anymore.

Can you have a look at my profile and give me genuine feedback? follow it if you like what im doing.

Much appreciated

Here's a theme. Quitting. You have no feedback or traction because its soulless stupid AI slop. It was never a cool idea. Your weak little autist brain just couldn't fathom committing to an artistic endeavor for longer than the 5 seconds it took to gen your generic monster slop, so now you look to 4chan for validation, or worse, for an audience. Do us all a giant favor, go find a real hobby and leave us the fuck alone. Not your personal army.

Happy vday btw!

ok motherfuckers, yes im being lazy.

tomorrow ill set up some test files, but anyone wanna run down on linked text files and illustrator?

need to link a multipage text: need to design the text in illustrator: need to ensure the changes dont revert to OG linked text file. i guess i could just break the link once the data is in (i dont need it to update, just to get it in).

thoughts, you dirty cunts?

inb4 indesign fucks your mother
>>
>>463679
literally copy paste, why link it if youre gonna edit?
>>
>>463686
uh, mostly cuz its longish.
but yes, final edits and flourishes wil happen in the layout program. done it before, just could remember the deal with texts. like its not two ways, if i edit the text in illustrator i essentially have two different files. but if i edit the source, i can relink. its been a while.

that site i posted (necrosociety.com) - the collective has an EP dropping feb 14. their visual rollouts always match the site energy. everything they do looks like it was made by dangerous people

Learn adobe illustrator.
Esp rotate, transform, pathfinder (lesrn what every button here does)
Learn some math especially basic geometry, ratios.

Replicate the five youve posted here. Dont do them free hand, do them pixel perfect.

Row 2, column 1 will be easiest to start with.

Create circle
Duplicate it, put second circle straight under
Select both of them
Rotate 60 degrees and make a copy

illustrator is really a shit program for anything that approaches actual 'drafting' which is the level youre aiming for to really get geometry.
honestly, may as well go get a compass and a straight edge

How would you apply a glitch effect like this to text and images?

Glitch effects like this are (and I am trying to achieve) seemingly random, asymmetrical, etc. Is there particularly techniques or tools to do something like this, or is it just a pain in the ass "do each bit one by one" sort of deal?

Ultimately I don't want something as extreme as this, something much more minor (just for a single line of text really) so my first thought as a retard is to just go in to paint and shift a few lines of pixels left or right
>>
Displacement maps. Also if you can ask here, you can use google to get a much more refined answer by just searching "glitch effect how to in (whatever program)"

Im assuming youre a zoomer and dont know google exists, in which case, die

There's different types, the best ones are made for posters or titles from scratch by experimenting with typography and even programming or drawings, example:
https://vimeo.com/118998266

The ones you posted are kinda generic, if you want to learn just download premade from psdkeys or creativemarket and dissect them either on photoshop or aftereffects, for Ae you can stack all crazy effects and animate them pretty easily.
>>
>>462551
if you want to have procedural control I really like using TouchDesigner for these. And as said above, displacement. You will also need to do the chromatic aberration effect. You can separate your color image into RGB and then slightly transform them and recombine.

Yes. "Canvaslop" is a dumb name. But it's the only thing I can really call it. I fucking hate this shit so much. Words cannot describe how much I want to grab the bellend(s) who started this bandwagon of diarrhoea and reduce them to a red smear on the pavement. I want them rotting in fucking hell. I will shit on their grave. Anyone else hate this shit? I've attached an example for those not in the know.

It’s time to redo my portfolio and I’m looking for some inspiration. I’m a usability/product designer, but I’ll take any ideas. What are your favorite portfolios? Or share yours if you dare.
>>
>>463107
keep it simple and dont waste the visitors' time. these recruiters have to look at hundreds of portfolios. wasting just a second on an animation or long load time can be enough for them to move on to the next one. your website should be the place to show off your work, not be the work.
small introduction on the top, then two colums with large thumbnails that entice and lead to its page. each project page shouldnt need more than a small description. picture = 1000x words
good luck :)
>>
Is a portfolio website really necessary if I'm not gonna use it for applying for a job vacancy? Like, I was planning to apply for some gigs on platforms until I got money enough to start a business myself, which is what I'm aiming for.
Platforms usually want me to upload my image files to their own system, so a portfolio website doesn't make itself necessary for doing that. In which cases it's profitable to run a website just for the portfolio itself ratter than using it when applying for jobs in existing businesses?
>>
>>463351
don’t listen to this anon, basic portfolios don’t stand out. a plain, derivative portfolio won’t serve you best. true about time wasting doe.
