I can finally post about this now! For the past couple months, I've been doing more video work for Lackadaisy... and their brand new teaser trailer for Season One! ♣️
My responsibilities were modelling and animating the end-card's art deco background! The end-card called for an art deco bar-inspired scene, and a very specific style of gradient shading for the glasses & bottles. I needed gradients that were form-fitting to the shape of the objects, and it was extremely important that shading could be iterated on quickly and seamlessly... but Illustrator's mesh gradients are totally useless garbage. So I turned to Blender's node graphs to effectively paint gradient textures in-program!
Also pictured: the "'Node Preview" plugin, which was essential for this sort of node work. It's wild that Blender doesn't have this built-in already.
