Hi all,
I Would like to hear from you what you think about. We decided to do a demo. For usual we do stills for Designers with parfum bottles, beer bottles, and so on, Now we wanted to do the next step and make a demo to present an example of a parfum for example for television.
Our aim was to use some special effects, for example fluid simulations and so on to show, we can do this and to make a very esthetical aproach to present a parfum.
this one still isnt finished its still work in progress, but we come near to the aim.
Overal it was a technical pain in the ass. we learned Particleflow, Reactor for softbodydynamics ( the leaves of the rose are animiated with reactor cloth), we tried glue 3d which looked promissing at first, but was very unpredictable when it came to a final quality version, so we learned realflow too, we tried afterburn for some steam... and so on.
one of the most difficult tasks was the animated bolean of the bottle.
maxbolean didnt work at all, but powerbolean worked. but in the queuquemanager it stopped allways after one frame. workaround was to make a script to produce all 1200 frames (the actual film is shorter) as single renderjobs in the render queuque.
and also with this solution, each 20th frame leaded to wrong boleans that had to be fixed manualy.
well what did we learn from this ?
first, many programms (also z-brush) which is very important for us.
secound, develloping a storrybord about something so very unpredictable as the movement of fluids is very very very difficult.
making a fluid move exact as you want doesnt work so good. wether its a real fluidsimulation , or its a particlesystem that sometimes doesnt look like a fluid.
so heres the very much compressed film . its still unfinished, but you get the idea.
much fun let me know what you think now. aah and yes the musik will be produced new special for this...

,
" and now after the end , the film will go on, and the bottle will transform in some nice other smellling things like an oil tank, a big smelling old fish and an old shoe, so we say... ok you dont want a bottle ? doesnt matter we do whatever you want.
