Note: Nearly all of the project insights shown in the video can also be seen as singular images / videos below. This only excludes numerous iterations of the animation and camera movement, those are not covered in the still section below.
/ / Material + Light
↓ first test for the filtering fabric
↓ test material for the nose adjustment clip
↓ concept to visualize aerosols being repelled by the mask
↓ different variants of visible light sources, this idea was discharged in order to keep focus on the mask
↓ test to inlude small hair fibres on the mask, this was removed to obtain a cleaner, more sterile look
/ / SSS + Modeling
↓ visualizing subsurface scattering working, backlight being more ore less bright depending on the fabric thickness
↓ modeled mask, extreme detail on the edges – appearing from melting together the different layers – is needed for the subsurface scattering
↓ starting to fold the mask into shape
↓ added nose clip, visible due to subsurface scattering
↓ test animation for bending the nose clip
↓ fine tuning on the model, especially on the middle seam. Subsurface scattering is making some issues as the model is colliding with
itself on some points, creating dark artefacts.
↓ testing the model with scenic lighting
/ / Finetuning on Material
+ Detailing
↓ further developement on the fabric material layering together different types of noise and surface maps
↓ creating the innerlaying material varieties
/ / Starting the journey
↓ animation test for taking apart the inner layers
↓ test to inclue some kind of "wind" effect
↓ the finished video ad
