The Brief

Create a 15 sec in-house spec piece that showcases the ice-cream’s indulgent ingredients through dramatic CGI.

The Animation

In this in-house experimental project, we explored the power and nuance of Cinema 4D’s revamped liquids system, putting it through its paces with a challenging material: rich, viscous melted chocolate, complete with textured inclusions like whole hazelnuts to push the solver’s realism and complexity.

We begin with the molten chocolate flowing thick and slow, its surface tension and weight carefully simulated to mimic real-world behavior. As it cools, the liquid gradually transforms, solidifying into a perfect, glossy chocolate shell that reveals a complete ice cream product.

But the story doesn’t end there. With a dramatic shatter, the chocolate breaks apart to unveil a layered interior: ripples of golden caramel, more chocolate, and creamy core textures that hint at indulgence and depth.

Finally, the entire composition reassembles itself with cinematic flair, converging into a clean, elegant packshot.
