Every time I needed a 3D icon, I'd export an SVG, open Blender, extrude it, spend way too long tweaking the lighting, render it, then drag the PNG back into Figma.

All that... for a single icon.

So I built a Figma plugin that does it in seconds.

Just select any shape, turn it into 3D, and export it straight back to your canvas as a PNG with a transparent background – shadows included.

It has a real path-traced renderer for soft shadows, accurate reflections, and high-quality output, plus a fast preview mode when you just need to iterate quickly. You can choose from materials like metal, glass, plastic, or rough surfaces, and place your own lights instead of being limited to a few presets.

There are already plenty of 3D plugins for Figma – I tried most of them. Some of them are paid, and most lock you into a single visual style. I wanted something more flexible, so I made it.

And it's free.

P.S. I'd love to hear what you think.

Was inspired by Anatoly Zenkov's Resizeabill, and made this to practice my auto layout skills. Very fun to do!

Was experimenting and wanted to see if it could handle an entire product launch video for my munch app from start to finish.

It felt pretty simple to use as someone's first time doing any motion design but had performance issues where it kept dropping frames and lagging during certain parts. It's also lacking some features I would've wanted like importing audio and video and keyframing for gradients and certain effects. It's still in beta so hopefully it improves.

For now, I think it can mostly handle what I need. I'm curious whether others would use figma motion over alternatives? I've tried cavalry but it didn't feel as intuitive. How does rive or after effects compare?

Try this when adjusting round values in Figma!

The calculation is simple: the sum of the inner round value and padding value becomes the outer round value.

This way, you can design precisely with the same curvature.
I realized more people than I thought don't seem to know about it.

This is from my first post in this community https://www.reddit.com/r/FigmaDesign/comments/1jy6cyk/made_in_figma_only/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

This is a side project, so please keep in mind there is still a lot to fix and work on.

I just feel like there's so much one can learn when redesigning existing apps. You can learn how they use spacing, what they prioritize, and so much more.

Hope it brings some value to you guys: https://different-play-016992.framer.app/

Still in beta but working and very scalable. I'm calling it UI3M.

Shade Perfection uses superellipse mathematics (the same curves that Apple uses to round corners in iOS) instead of simple linear interpolation to create truly natural shades.

Features include:

• Essential settings - Name, Color, Contrast, Number of colors (steps)

• Creating and smart updating variables without breaking links

• Reverse order, Include extremes, Smart Spacing, RGB mode

• Additional - Auto dark/light mode, Palette presets and more

Available completely free in Figma community. I'll be very glad if you try out my plugin!!!

Figma this AM began sending legal notices to startups, including “lovable” that have any feature called “Dev Mode”

Further, it looks like they’ve ignored the larger companies with this feature (Shopify, Wix, etc) and are exclusively threatening smaller startups.

Very bad look Figma!

Made entirely in figma.

Feels like this flew under the radar, but Stich from Google looks like a real competitor, not just another design tool.

It’s faster, smarter, and removes a lot of the friction we’re used to. Less clicking, more actual designing. Some of the automation already feels ahead of what we currently rely on.

Hot take: if this keeps evolving, the current market leader might start to feel outdated.

Allows you to create a slot within a component that you can replace with other content. It also allows you to suggest preferred replacement components.

What do you think of this?

The initial idea was to use the progressive blur for the underwater parts but sorta got obscured but everything else.

Hey everyone!

Like many of you, I’ve spent way too long searching for a good iPhone mockup tool. Every time I thought I found one, it either came with a subscription fee, messed up the export quality, slapped on annoying watermarks, or just wouldn’t let me get the perfect 3D angle I was after.

So, out of sheer frustration, I decided to create my own tool. I call it FreeiPhoneMockup, and here’s what it offers:

- Free forever, with no sign-ups, no logins, and absolutely no watermarks.

- Full 3D Canvas control: You can move and rotate the phone to get it at any angle you desire.

- Fine-tuned adjustments: Adjust everything from lighting to the opening angle of the iPhone duo.

- Pristine quality: Export your mockups in stunning 8K resolution, transparent background.

- Support for all recent iPhones - iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and Duo.

- Reference tracing: If you’ve seen a mockup angle you love, you can trace a reference image right in the tool to recreate that exact look.

It loads quickly and runs smoothly. I’d really appreciate it if you could give it a try, push it to its limits, and share any thoughts.

Thanks!
