Mix and match 3D illustrations and icons and drop them into your Figma file.
Vijay challenges himself by limiting his tools only to primitives while working on this icon. It’s quite amazing what can be done by mixing imagination with 29 ellipses, 8 rectangles, and 1 frame.
Friday, Figma & Fun 🧪

Last night, when I was bored in a meeting 😌, I made some noise in @figma using the NT plugin @rogie. With this pluign we can create cool metal, wood, and many other texture by simply combining with layer mode. Shared some tips below 🧶 pic.twitter.com/CGEw0ACebE

Dann Petty shows how to make hand-drawn vectors using Illustrator and Figma.
Vijay Verma is a prolific member of the Figma community (see his projects featured in the past), and in this Twitter thread, he explains why he picked Figma over Sketch or Penpot. Don’t miss his time-lapse comparison of all three tools on YouTube, where he created the same icon and analyzed some key points.
I love his conclusion: “At the end, I learned that a tool is just a tool. It doesn’t matter what tool you choose depending on your needs, just start creating. You will find a way to achieve what you want to create with what you have on hand.”
Why I love @figma ? Every time I use Figma to create illustrations, you guys always ask me why. Here are a few points I would like to share in this thread 🧶. I also uploaded a time lapse to YouTube ▶️ pic.twitter.com/R0lVD7tLvc

This demo of the upcoming Ando plugin blew up over the last few days. Antonio Cao is working on a plugin using Stable Diffusion to generate AI art based on visual and text prompts. The new wave of AI design tools may be the biggest change in our industry after the introduction of multiplayer by Figma in 2016.
Gonna ship a Figma plugin to go from prompts + simple shapes to design ideas using #stablediffusion #aiart pic.twitter.com/0VYais9C6X
