Focus: Animation, Visual Effects, Creative Direction
🎯 Project Overview
I created a cinematic 3D product animation of a premium wine bottle in Spline, designed to capture the elegance, freshness, and sensory appeal of the product. The goal was to blend realistic textures with creative camera work and audio for an immersive product reveal experience.
🔥 Key Highlights
✨ Visual Detailing
Realistic condensation effect simulated using cloning — small spheres randomly scattered with controlled Y-axis randomness to mimic water droplets.
Material tuning: Glossy, refractive materials for the bottle to amplify light interaction and realism.
Surface detail: Subtle normal maps and roughness variations added to enhance the "cold bottle" look.
🎥 Cinematic Camera Work
Dynamic camera animation moving vertically (up-to-down) to dramatize the product reveal.
Depth of Field (DoF) strategically used to create a professional-grade focus pull effect, drawing viewer attention naturally to the brand label.
Bloom effects applied to highlights, emphasizing the chilled bottle sparkle.
🎶 Sound Integration
Integrated well-timed background music that perfectly syncs with the camera moves and key visual moments.
Audio enhances the premium, sensual mood of the reveal, supporting emotional engagement.
🛠 Techniques Used
Cloning system for procedural detailing (condensation).
Material editor for transparency, gloss, and refractive tweaking.
Camera animation and pathing tricks for smooth cinematic movement.
Manual scene staging for fake masking (wine bottle inside a visual "frame").
📈 Impact
Crafted a project demonstrating 3D product visualization, storytelling through motion, and attention to micro-detail — all executed within the creative limitations of Spline.
The project showcases strong brand storytelling skills, appealing directly to users looking for premium product animation solutions for marketing, advertising, or packaging.
