CPS - Week 5 Object Adventure

Theme:
Object Adventure - Go sightseeing and dance

Method:
Maya will be the main tool for this project. A bottle will be modelled, textured in Maya and rendered using Renderman. Animation will be done in Maya and output a playblast movie file.

Context:
This is a brainstorming project as well as a experiment on Renderman’s global illumination with environment map. What would happened if a bottle leaves home and goes outside and have fun? How would a bottle act as a character? These are the question I am going to answer in this short project.

I didn’t find any related works on the internet. I found an tutorial which is helpful to my exercise:

Response:
A bottle of water will be modelled and then applied a transparent texture. By adjusting the attributes of the texture, the bottle will have the thickness and feel of a bottle. After that, a HDR background will be use as the ‘stage’ for the bottle. The animation will be a few seconds of the bottle dancing in front of the scene. An animatic and a few rendered image will be the submission material.
