There's nothing quite like finding a good hack that improves your workflow. And today's TikTok trick is perfect for all you 3D artists out there. With just a few clicks, you can transform your 2D vectors into playful three-dimensional designs. 

Artist Holly Johnson shared the bubbly hack on TikTok (see below).
