YouTube's add-to-queue Icon – 3D render
Spline
3D Modelling
Thumbnail Design
If this is looking familiar to you, you might have seen it over on my blog! I wrote about how YouTube changed an essential add-to-queue feature—you can read the article here.
I decided that I want to use Spline to help make my blog cover images from now on. This one is the first!
Interactive 3D
Render Options
I played around with lighting and angles to see which one I liked best. The fourth one best highlighted the icon itself without letting the 3D modelling overtake its significance so I went with that one as the final render.
Finishing Touches
I brought the render into Photoshop to add in the background and add some effects. I gave the model a nice glow and applied tilt-shift blur to the top and bottom if it.
The finished piece now resides as the cover image for this blog post!
