This tutorial by Joshua Guo provides a step-by-step guide to creating a metallic cube using Figma’s design tools. The process starts by constructing a cube base from a hexagon and applying linear gradient fills to achieve a metallic texture. It also details adding black lines for shadow accents and white lines for highlights to enhance the cube’s depth and realism.
The tutorial introduces advanced techniques, including adding a reflection beneath the cube with progressive blur and applying a layer blur to the cube itself. Optional steps, such as incorporating noise and a complementary background, are also provided to refine the three-dimensional effect further. The guide focuses on practical techniques to achieve realistic results in Figma.
