:I think this is the point where I officially declare my independence. 😂 This scenes were created entirely in Blender,from the dieline to the final scene. Looks like I won't be buying mockups anymore. 😄🚀
Amazing renders! Did you set up the lighting by yourself or it's prebuilt? I a few months ago a lot of time to set up the right lighting and after found it's a lot of presets on Blenderkit. And also Claude is really good with it.
Yeah, I set up the lighting myself. I didn't know Claude was that good for Blender lighting, so thanks for the tip! I'll definitely give it a try next time.
The condensation droplets and glass refraction on that serum bottle are so convincing I had to remind myself this is a full CG render, not a photo. Was matching realistic liquid and glass shaders the trickiest part of the whole scene?
Haha, you happened to ask about the only part that isn't actually mine. 😄 To be honest, everything else was created by me. I did use the dropper model from BlenderKit to save some time.
I have to admit😞 , I kind of regret that choice now. If I'd known the render would get...
As for your question, I don't think the shader nodes themselves were the hardest part. In my opinion, lighting was by far the most critical and challenging aspect. Finding the right angles and balancing soft versus hard light made the biggest difference. It was especially tricky...

Deepest thanks to all the incredible clients and agencies that I've worked with.
I count myself very lucky to have a job working with such a varied client base, from solving deep UX problems and building systems, to pushing creative boundaries and everything in between. It's a wild ride.
I’m immensely grateful to the brilliant teams and individuals I’ve worked with over the years. Thank you.
To everyone else who has liked, followed, recommended, or reposted along the way, you're awesome. 🔥
10 whole years.. thats awesome and that animation is great too!
oof! finally able to share the final piece!!
if you haven't been keeping up with my updates:
⭐ on day 1 I brainstormed alongside Gemini, merging my ideas with theirs and ending up with an outline of what I wanted to do for this challenge
⭐ day 2 I collected the raw footage I filmed and started putting together a folder with all my assets
⭐ day 3 I dove into Envato for the first time in years and found stock video, music and sfx, and used AI to alter both one of my own clips and a stock one
⭐ day 4 was for the final touches, where I recorded the voiceover and put all the other assets together into the video you can see below - my final submission!
(I also attached a screenshot of what my final project folder looked like - organized by source of each asset)
my biggest AI win was definitely the clip where I asked it to replace my water bottle with the coffee machine and it mimicked my rings and tattoos without me even asking
my AI flop, where I decided to intervene because AI just didn't do it justice, was the voiceover - it just felt off and emotionless, and instead of trying to tweak it to perfection I decided to just pick up the mic and do it myself!
I'm also gonna be sharing this final video on my Instagram @freelancingwithsilvia - feel free to follow me there for all the freelancing vibes 🤩
