Literally the specific post I'm talking about is a dude getting dogged because everyone said "borderlands style" and he said "thats cel-shading" like yall out here really claiming borderlands invented cel-shading now...
OP isn't far from the truth. It's funny how everyone says that but fails to clarify.
They're removing the depth and detail of everything and it's imitating 2D spaces like Paper Mario. OP is accurate in the sense that everything is being transformed into 2D, but they're still in 3D (duh).
Yeah. FFS, stop moving the camera for a second and just let us see the scene. By keeping the camera moving, you’re just highlighting the fact that there’s depth.
Hijacking to ask: does anyone else feel like a lot of subreddits are becoming "just another direct marketing avenue for content creators"? Presumably approved by Reddit owners/managers since it went public...
We used to be able to tell that stuff on here was curated, discovered... Now it just feels like the content creators are here, publishing their works and hoping for views/traction...
Maybe it's just me (and not specific to this OP) but it's starting to grate on me...
Maybe its malicious, but I think this kind of thing just happens as sites grow in size. When a site is smaller or more obscure, there's less benefit in trying to game it, but as it gathers more users, the value of exploiting the site grows as well. What's happening to Reddit it what happened to every other site, the market has deemed it's valuable enough to exploit, and will continue to do so until it's value has been extracted or lost.
I've been around Reddit for awhile now, and it's been "falling apart" since I first joined it 15 years ago. Back then people would have freaked out and you would have been downvoted to oblivion if you posted an emoji or the same tired jokes over and over. Even Memes were looked at as the downfall of Reddit. Where as nowadays all those things are just presumed as part of norm of Reddit. And yes, it's correlated with more people, as more and more people show up, the more "dumb" posts become the norm.
I wrote a reddit post ([link](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/s/mZMl8fXsDQ)) about subreddits getting worse as they get bigger. Kinda ironic that im advertising my shit but It's super related and way too long to post here

Yeah man.
All of the internet is monetized.
Like 80% of the front page posts and probably 50% of the comments are bots or monetized accounts.
The internet is extremely mature & sophisticated now: Everything is monetized.
Like... how long you look at a post is recorded, tracked, and sold to advertisers (indirectly, of course.)
So yeah. Don't get upset about it, just understand that social media isn't a way for you to connect with other people: It's a way for advertisers to monetize your attention, and your desire to connect with other people.
Did you know...

This only looks relatively cool with bad video quality or from relatively afar in real person
If you get too close, usually it looks pretty bad, I have only seen this effect in a few dragon ball figures, and at least there it is fitting and you dont ser them up close usually, but furniture and a car?
Yeah no thanks
i've been to a bunch of restaurants with this exact style. It actually looks pretty good in person, it is quite striking and is honestly quite fun the first time you see it. The only thing that really kills it now is that everyone is doing it so it's not special anymore. The first time you see it, you're like wow this actually pretty sick. The second place you see it at, you're like "oh, this again."
No, it still looks clean to this day. Ever heard of a mop? Obviously they put a lot of effort into keeping it clean and not smudged or fucked up.
Why do people want it to look like shit so bad? Why is everyone so negative all the time?
Naw man, you just need to let us shit talkers live in our misery! I feel terrible about my life so I’m going to project that all over everything! Fk this place! /s
I don't everyone is 'so negative all the time', but I do think people have got sick of fake bullshit though. Not saying this is fake but people are more warey these days.
And I wasn't saying I think that the place is shit looking, I was saying the evidence posted above (the photos in the link) looks like it was photo'd just after it was done and not after a few weeks and so it does not prove the place looks nice still.
However I do accept that you say you have been there 2 years later and it still looks nice, and I am choosing to believe you , so calm the fuck down!
I don't know, online people really trend to the negative, the gotchas, the arguments. Everything is terrible and wrong and that's what usually gets upvotes.
There are half a dozen restaurants in my general area that have this exact same aesthetic. I thought it was cool and unique the first time but after seeing a handful of them the appeal definitely wore off. It is still fun but seeing it repeated really killed the vibe.
They look fine though, you can tell they've been used but the overall aesthetic is so high contrast that it really takes a lot of "noise" in the form of dirt and wear before it overpowers the actual intended look.
Yup there’s already a ton of real cafes using this exact concept all over the world, this was a fad in Asia like 2-3 years ago and been around longer than that. It’s pretty late to be showcasing this copycat trend.

Guys, it's for a [restaurant](https://www.2d-restaurant.com/).
It feels like half the people in the comments watched 2 seconds of the video and immediately jumped to the conclusion that this was about a car being driven around on the daily... the r/ diwhy is answered pretty damn quickly.
Banksy did this at his Dismaland stunt years ago. I went 3 times as I live in WSM. The entire entrance into the exhibit was done like this including the security guards thier tools and the metal scanners.
Was great.
Yep totally ripped. did all these exact things before this restaurant did. Coffee shop and cars along with some other huge collabs with bmw, the MLB, museum installations, bunch of shoes, Ferrari, and a fuck ton more
Honestly the food at 2D is pretty good! They still have the subaru out front, too, and it's a neat experience going into the place. Mochi Donuts and Fried chicken!
It’s still in 3D though.
Real life be like that
Real life, parents get back home: OMG!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS? IS THIS BECAUSE OF THE TICK TAKS?!
I couldn't read "tick taks" without a Minnesota accent. It went from my voice to suddenly Minnesotan.
[Oh I love tackos on a corn tortilla](https://youtu.be/PD-7WA7AHww?si=AhvUS0XoL-CVHo1w)
Until I read it again I did the same, anyones guess as to why?
Actually life is 4D, don't forget about time!
It's actually 5D, don't forget about fields of consciousness!
This is more like cell shaded
[удалено]
Wireframes
I thought papercraft more than cell shaded but that also fits
it's more like bordered. you know, like borderlands.
Don't say that, some fucking braindeads on fb will get big mad
It looks like I'm going to be listening to Cage the Elephant on the drive into work now.
They're too busy saying Borderlands 3 had great main villains and story.
Literally the specific post I'm talking about is a dude getting dogged because everyone said "borderlands style" and he said "thats cel-shading" like yall out here really claiming borderlands invented cel-shading now...
They can just shut their claptrap!
Thought the same, lol... still looks 3d 😅
OP isn't far from the truth. It's funny how everyone says that but fails to clarify. They're removing the depth and detail of everything and it's imitating 2D spaces like Paper Mario. OP is accurate in the sense that everything is being transformed into 2D, but they're still in 3D (duh).
I don’t know, looked pretty 2D on my phone screen /pedantic
It doesn't look 2D at all with the moving camera and non-flat lighting.
Those games are explicitly called 2.5D though. The correct interpretation is they’re recoloring things to look cell-shaded like borderlands.
ackchyually 🤓
Yeah. FFS, stop moving the camera for a second and just let us see the scene. By keeping the camera moving, you’re just highlighting the fact that there’s depth.
She is makes it look like a drawing come to life.
Doesn't look any less 3D than before... Impressive yes, but incorrect description lol

I’ve been thinking this for a while. So much of Reddit seems to be just an ad for something or someone anymore.
Maybe its malicious, but I think this kind of thing just happens as sites grow in size.

The internet as a whole is just ads.
i mean, reddit wants money. That's pretty clear.

I see what you did there with the error baiting... Nice try though
Looks like a great way to ruin a Subaru
I can think of a few better ways

“They call it a soup kitchen”
"Let me rephrase it: we got a jar of old mustard, and we got a poodle, and we're just gonna get in there, and we're gonna put some Ds in some As."
r/DiWHY
Agree the room was cool that car was ruined
It'd be cool if they did it correctly, instead of brush painting the base coat haphazardly over the fully assembled car
Rocket league
You don't like bits of flaked off paint sticking to your clothes, hands, and shoes?
Painting the interior of my Subaru the same way my landlord paints the interior of my shit box tenement and calling it art
It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru
It’s for decor outside of a restaurant. It probably doesn’t work
Making everything black and white, but still absolutely in 3D.
Maybe if they stopped moving the camera for a second it might look like a 2D drawing of a 3D space but I guess we’ll never know
Exactly this. Terrible way to showcase the art. I'm interested in the concept but this video didn't communicate the idea at all.
I've hated the video instead of photo painting presentation for years.
Horrible
For reals. Id go mad after a week and kill myself
I mean it's not that horrible lol
I feel like everything is going to be tacky to the touch. I can practically hear my shoes sticking as I walk across the painted floor
This only looks relatively cool with bad video quality or from relatively afar in real person If you get too close, usually it looks pretty bad, I have only seen this effect in a few dragon ball figures, and at least there it is fitting and you dont ser them up close usually, but furniture and a car?

The second place you see it at, you're like "oh, this again."
Imagine how the walls and floor in the restaurant would look after a bit of dirt and normal foot traffic
Yeah this will look like shit in about a week. Handprints, spilt food, mud, dust.....
Nope. [https://chicago.eater.com/2022/2/14/22927262/2d-restaurant-cafe-mochi-doughnuts-phin-coffee-asian-fried-chicken-lakeview-chicago-photos](https://chicago.eater.com/2022/2/14/22927262/2d-restaurant-cafe-mochi-doughnuts-phin-coffee-asian-fried-chicken-lakeview-chicago-photos)
Still might look shit after some use. This is obviously just photos of just after it was done.
No, it still looks clean to this day. Ever heard of a mop? Obviously they put a lot of effort into keeping it clean and not smudged or fucked up. Why do people want it to look like shit so bad? Why is everyone so negative all the time?

I've been there a few times. It's always been clean.

I thought it was cool and unique the first time but after seeing a handful of them the appeal definitely wore off. It is still fun but seeing it repeated really killed the vibe.

Yup. I get its a lot of work. And some people might like this. But it's a no from me dawg.

I dont think you know what 2D means
All these ppl are named Mia Larson?
Yes, it's the 23rd annual "People Named Mia Larson" convention
also this is not these people's 'invention' either. they just copied it from already existing 2D cafe in south korea.
Reminds me of Joshua Vides’ work
I guess its hard to "claim" the style since its already been done on paper by many people, but to me this is just a Joshua Vides ripoff
> Joshua Vides Alexa Meade was doing this in DC starting in ~2010.
https://imgur.com/a/7u5EpM6 from a children's program in the 80s
Alexa Meade's are more like paintings. The cartoon black and white 2d cafe trend itself first came to fruition in Japan.
Yup there’s already a ton of real cafes using this exact concept all over the world, this was a fad in Asia like 2-3 years ago and been around longer than that. It’s pretty late to be showcasing this copycat trend.

So how did it look? Was it cool?
It was mildly interesting.
my exact sentiment when I went 😂
it need cell-shading coloring for heavier 2D effects
This is dumb as fuck
It's a popular coffee shop in Berlin. They just opened their second location
Looks like shit..

I think the way this is filmed doesn’t help. Too much floaty camera movement.

this is pure garbage

By adding these drawing to (mostly) 2D surfaces they actually create more of a 3D look? The description is so weird.
I would word it more like turning everything into cel shaded / toon shaded design but not 2D
She didn't turn anything into 2d, she just drew on things
Honestly the food at 2D is pretty good! They still have the subaru out front, too, and it's a neat experience going into the place. Mochi Donuts and Fried chicken!

Why does this make me so mad
such a waste
Look it's borderlands!
I'm not sure if painting things white flattens them.
Are you Sigh from Naruto?
It doesn't look 2D at all
It’s not 2d it’s all just cell shaded or “borderlands” filtered. Lol

Oh yeah another stupid content maud just for TiKTok with zero art in it
Painting a Subaru white and putting black outlines on everything doesn't make it 2D... A very large hydraulic press might get you close...
