PEPSI MAX
This case study presents a Pepsi Max spec 3D product animation, created as a personal project to explore advanced liquid simulation workflows in a commercial-style context. The goal was to deliver a dynamic product animation emphasizing realistic fluid behavior, cinematic presentation, and visual impact suitable for digital campaigns. This project provided an opportunity to refine complex 3D fluid simulations and enhance technical and artistic control in Houdini.
PROJECT BREAKDOWN
Simulation & FX
All liquid simulations were created in Houdini, focusing on realistic fluid behavior, interaction, and motion timing for a commercial product animation. Procedural simulation workflows enabled complex yet controllable liquid dynamics, highlighting technical and artistic precision.
Rendering & Look Development
The scenes were rendered in Redshift, emphasizing cinematic lighting, material response, and surface detail. The approach ensured a clean, high-contrast aesthetic that highlighted the product’s form and textures.
Editing & Final Delivery
The final animation and breakdown edit were assembled in DaVinci Resolve, allowing precise control over pacing, rhythm, and overall visual impact, resulting in a polished, studio-quality presentation.
