In this tutorial you will discover:

  • How to model a can
  • How to quickly add water droplets to the outside of any object
  • How to composite fire and reflections using Gimp

I was hanging out with some friends over the weekend when one of them decided to buy 2 large energy drinks. It was 8 ‘oclock at night and he drank them both. With the combined strength of roughly 5 coffees, sleeping seemed like a distant thought.

But it demonstrated a point: Energy drink companies are the kings of marketing. Sexy, flashy posters are everywhere, grabbing your attention and daring you to give in to what [you think] your body needs more of: energy.

So I decided to take the energy drink concept and see if I could replicate it in Blender.
