3D Potion Project

This was the 3D potion project I did in Escape for the Introduction to 3D module.
It was my first time doing anything in 3D, and so I was very nervous in how good the final product would be.
Ultimately though, I am really happy with the final result, and the final renders.
The potion was made in Maya, textured in Adobe Substance 3D Painter, and rendered using Arnold.
The idea for this potion was ‘Time-Freezing’. I initally set out to create a freezing potion, but after looking at references and seeing some hourglass potions, I thought a play on both would be visually interesting. The hourglass shape of the bottle, and the ‘sand-like’ liquid, in tandem with the blue colouring and ice crystals convey this effect quite well I believe.
