Green Baboon3D Ad with Realistic Droplet Simulation
Green Baboon: the aesthetics of an ice-cold gin. A full 3D ad created to promote Green Baboon gin & tonic on social media. The focus is on detailed product visualization, with a complex simulation of condensation and droplets on the can as the key element.

Concept
«Party delivered in one click». The core idea was to convey the drink's extreme freshness and energy through visual imagery. The concept contrasts the can's dark matte metal with a bright acid-green glow breaking through the open tab, symbolizing the brand's explosive character.
Tech & Details
For a hyperrealistic look I used an advanced 3D pipeline: Cinema 4D & Volume Builder/Mesher: a custom droplet simulation system that delivered physically accurate liquid behavior — small drops merge into larger streams as they run down the can. Redshift: rendering with a focus on high-quality look development, from the texture of frosted metal to light refraction in water droplets. After Effects: final edit, deep compositing, color grading and dynamic 2D elements and typography.
Workflow
From technical simulation to a premium finish. Production included: Simulation Setup: configuring water particles on the can's mesh with Volume tools for natural droplet merging. Lighting & Lookdev: studio lighting in Redshift that emphasizes the can's shape and macro details. Animation: dynamic camera fly-throughs and «levitating» cans to show the product from every angle. Post-Production: assembly in After Effects with copy lines matching the client's brief.
Result
The result was a series of videos (GIFs and Reels) that fully met the brand's demand for «super-aesthetic» content. The combination of complex 3D math and careful color work created international-brand-level visuals that stand out in the feed.
