I am so glad im able to use this forum again. Now i got my own company and my own license im finally able to post here again. A hartly hello to everybody.
It has been a while since i posted something. I finally have some time again for my private work and wanted to start with something nice and simple.
I wanted to make something cool and came acros a jar from Alessi in my house and decided to make that. also wanted a twisted version of it so that would be the melted one.
I used polymodeling for the guy hanging there and spline modeling for the rest. There is no story behind this piece except that i liked the idea (although probably not the most original ideas) and it was fun working on it.
It doesn’t look shiny enough to be glass. It might be the reflections (or lack thereof) that doesn’t make it look right. Maybe try a different reflection map or hdri? I dunno, but it does look plastic to me.
Little guy and the melting effect are pretty sweet though.
Clever idea! I’d like to see the jar a little thicker, so that it would look a bit more like glass. I also think it would be neat if the bottom 15% or so of the jar was filled with the same goopey material so that it looked like the character emerged out of the goop, and then was melting back into it.
I’d love to see this animated, it could make a great short… the story of this liquid clay creature trying to escape from the jar, banging on the walls and the lid, etc. It could be really funny and cute!
