Design Is Evolving… 2D Isn’t 2D Anymore (Adobe Project Neo)

In this tutorial, I will show you how I created this retro-inspired space illustration using a 3D workflow that still looks like clean vector art and how I animated it.
Everything is built in 3D using Adobe Project Neo, which means you are not locked into a single angle. You can rotate your illustration, adjust perspective, and create smooth animations without rebuilding anything from scratch.
If you have ever wanted your illustrations to feel more dynamic or easier to animate, this workflow completely changes how you can approach design.
