Hi guys, this is my latest work. I started the project from an idea of a splash of vortex that form a Blender logo attempt to enter a Weekend Challenge "What makes your morning better?" on BlenderNation. But fail to meet the deadline. After that, I re-consider the title and decided to merge partially scene of Cosmo Laundromat with my main idea.
About background story and the concept of the artwork, I was try to expand a side story of my own from the story of Cosmos Laundromat.
My idea is the blender machine accidentally affected by the energy or something from the nearby laundry machine. It somehow alter the blender machine having same function temporary, which create a blue glowing portal in the middle of the vortex of the juice.
The original idea about the blue stuff in the juice that I consider before is blueberry orange mix juice. But because of fail meet deadline, it become the blue glowing light from the portal.
All objects that involved are recreate from scratch. I created the splash by using a cylinder. With a shape key, some vertex group and a couple of modifiers, I able to preserve the cylinder shape and have flexible control by using those component I’ve added.
thx @sch529, all texture are hand paint or done by variety filters mixing on Photoshop, with my coffee mug as reference.
the right hand side is the real thing, and the left is just playing wth camera mapping.
All done by the default cube with modifiers, I categories the nodes into 5 set. The Absorption Shader i was learn from a video tutorial on BlenderDiplom (http://www.blenderdiplom.com/en/tutorials/419-tutorial-absorption-in-cycles.html). Most of the mix node work as masking purpose like Photoshop thing. And most of the Voronoi and Noise textures are adjustable by the Mapping node.
Hopefully can help anyone of you guys, and CC are welcome, thx.
