Inflated type turns letterforms into balloons: rounded, full, and rendered with a soft glossy material. It’s the most extroverted corner of the 3D-type revival.膨胀字把字形变成气球:圆润、饱满,用柔软的光泽材质渲染。它是 3D 字体复兴里最外向的一角。

It’s a material, not a filter是材质,不是滤镜
Model the letters as inflated volumes, give them a soft glossy material, and set them against a saturated flat background so the form reads. Keep the lighting simple — the roundness does the work.在 Blender 或 C4D 里把字母建成充气体,给一层柔软的光泽材质,放在高饱和纯色背景上让形体读得出来。灯光保持简单——圆润本身就在干活。
Sources, not screenshots是来源,不是截图
Curated links to where this actually lives and gets documented — live boards for reference, editorial for pitch language, galleries to gauge saturation. We link out and credit rather than re-host anyone’s work.精选链接,指向这个方向真正活着、被记录的地方——实时参考板、给提案话术的编辑内容、判断饱和度的画廊。我们只链接并署名,不搬运任何人的作品。
