"Always Coca-Cola"
This was a 30-second broadcast commercial mock-up
of a Coke can doing gymnastic jumps and flips towards the camera. Its ending
consists of the can crushing itself as the characteristic "Always Coca-Cola"
button spins into view.
The
can was completely modeled in 3DS, its graphics were created in Corel Draw!
6 and applied via cylindrical mapping. The flexing of the can during its workout
was accomplished using BonesPro 1.5 to give the can more lifelike movements.
Getting the spotlight and varnished wood reflections to look realistic took
a set of steps that are discussed in "the details" #3.

the "Always..." video.
