What it is, and why now是什么,为什么现在

Claymorphism renders forms as soft, matte clay: rounded edges, gentle shadows, a squeezable quality. It’s the gentlest branch of the 3D revival.黏土渲染把形体做成柔软、哑光的黏土:圆润的边、柔和的阴影、一种可捏的质感。它是 3D 复兴里最温柔的一支。

It’s a material, not a filter是材质,不是滤镜

Use a soft matte material, round everything generously, and light it softly so shadows stay gentle. Pastel colours make it read as friendlier; keep forms simple so they stay legible small.用柔软哑光材质,把一切都大幅圆角,柔光照明让阴影保持温和。粉彩色让它更友好;形体保持简单,小尺寸也读得清。
