Odor Eaters Carpet Cushion System Animation

While I was working for CommuniQue' Marketing, I was able to practice 3D modeling/Animation and actually put it to use. This was an animation that was done for Odor Eaters Carpet System. The carpet had an enzyme layer that activated with spills. It would attack the stain from the bottom and the additional spray would attack from the top. This was my first real 3D modeling and animation project and it really pushed my limits but also taught me a lot. I particularly remember building and rendering the carpet fibers which to me was extremely difficult. I had to look up a tutorial on extruding along a spline. The other part that was killing me was the bubbles. I had the hardest time getting the timing down. The bottom bubble would be flying at top speed and the top bubbles would be slow as a snail. Took some a lot of tinkering to get it right. The logo at the end was something where I decided to add a the spin to the orange swashes. The animation ran in the middle of a commercial. One memory of working on this project in particular was the final rendering of the frames. I used at least 5 of the computers in the office to render the frames in order to meet the deadline. The video is much sharper than what is seen in this small down sampled video shown above.
