Working for a client that needs 3D advertisement for a supplement product, throughout the day, I was modelling a 1-to-1 replica of the product.

A project I had in mind for a long time, however, I never had the motivation to finish it. The idea came from a Lithuanian song that is all bout the unlikely phenomenon - broken pearls. It was very hard to implement this idea; therefore, I never felt the need to approach it. Now I found a way to actually create this scene. It is not yet the finished product I am looking for; however, I believe that if I take the time to actually polish this visualizer, it could become something breathtaking.

I had an idea of a cigarette dropping on wet concrete and making a wave based on the physics of the drop. I followed a few tutorials, and it seemed like a simple way to implement it. But the more I played around with the rigid body physics and dynamic paint, the more I understood that this might not be possible. When you apply two of these physics methods they start glitching out and cancelling each other off. That is why I decided to leave it be for now, since I have already spent to much  time and effort to recreate this effect.

For one of my scenes that I am creating for a client, I want to mess around with light and how different shadows can make the scene feel more alive and realistic. For this, I had to learn about gobos, which are basically cutouts of silhouettes that you can put in front of the light to create stunning shadows. Using volumetrics also helps a lot to create god-rays.
