ABOUT

Narrative:
A fallen sapphire crystal descends from the sky, crashing into a surreal volcanic landscape. Amidst the elements come together forging a watch through abstract visuals.

Goal:
I wanted to explore how I can convey the process of making a watch through abstract visuals and learn new techniques, such as using Volume Mesher and Builder, and trying the new terrain FX by Insydium for the landscape. I aimed to create the crystal in a more organic way, so I decided to dive into ZBrush to see how I could add as much detail as possible, as it was one of the highlights of the animation.
