Hibiki Whisky

Presenting some recent explorations of a Hibiki Whiskey bottle.

Tasks

Idea, design, animation & SFX.

Tools

Blender, After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop.

After modeling the basic shape in Blender, I utilized Photoshop for fine-tuning. Using black and white gradients in Photoshop, I created a displacement map, which Blender then interpreted as the depth of the grooves in the bottle. Guided by a reference image, I reconstructed the label in Illustrator. Then, I added the final touches with compositing, color correction, and SFX in After Effects, including some cliche SFX.
