Just like musicians, CGI artists also have to practise to acquire new skills and skillsets. This involves selecting a topic, setting the framework and determining what the focus should be on.
In this project, I chose the topic of "energy drinks" because I have always found the shape and presentation of cans very exciting.
The framework conditions were the use of 2 common can sizes and a minimal amount of additional assets. These assets are merely intended to make the composition a little more interesting.
My main focus was on the procedural (non-destructive) creation of the drops on the cans, the procedural creation of the ice cubes and trying out different approaches for the use of various transparent materials for the PBR (physically based rendering)
The images were then post-processed to bring out the colors and perspective a little better.
Please note: this is a purely fictional project, neither the brand nor the can design are real.
