LUSCIOUS

We started this project by exploring heightfield advection, experimenting with different parameters to better understand its behavior. Rather than simply animating surface noise, our aim was to let it naturally evolve over time through velocity-driven motion. Additional layers of noise were introduced to enrich the surface detail.

The pearls were created using a straightforward RBD setup, while the floral growth was developed with a lightweight rigging approach combined with vellum simulations. The growth of the bubble itself was achieved using a pyro source spread workflow to achieve the desired result.

The aim was to create a stunning advertisement for the supplement, establishing its context as an essence extracted from a flower that smooths wrinkles and cavities. We made sure the product felt luxurious by using bright, warm tones and focusing especially on the shader of the small pearls containing the essence and its reflects and caustics. We also added gridlines to the underlying surface to create contrast and reflect the research that goes into supplement and cosmetics development. Overall, we wanted to give this project a smooth, flowing feeling resampling both timelapses and slow motion recordings.
