🔥 Liquid Death: CGI Commercial in UE5 🤘

I used Unreal Engine 5's advanced materials and Niagara fluids to bring Liquid Death to life. What is the goal? The goal was to create a drink ad that exudes rebellion and innovative ideas.

The first step was to get my models from Sketchfab. I then brought them into Unreal and used advanced materials and material functions. 

Refraction and translucency were a real challenge. This made me think of a simpler way to keep the ice cubes cool, like the other side of the pillow.

I used Niagara fluids to make a cryogenic smoke that made it even cooler.

It wasn't straightforward to get the perfect picture of the Niagara water systems hitting the can. My graphics card started to sweat as I added more particle systems to the sequencer, which brought the playback speed down to 8 fps. But the perfect shot was taken when things got tough.

I let loose the magic of sound effects, color grading, and visual effects. This is where the sequence found its rhythm and Liquid Death came to life. With this amazing software, I transformed the raw sequence into the finished video.

This explorarion took longer than I thought it would, but along the way, I not only improved my CGI skills, but I also embraced the spirit of Liquid Death: raw, unapologetic, and a middle finger to the ordinary.
