Pedro Conti is a Brazilian 3D computer graphics designer. Although he is much more concentrated in character design and development, I wanted to focus on his 3D work for a Philips commercial advertisement. What I really like about this project is that it borders on unpleasing to look at, but the pretty colors and the smoothness of the rendering say otherwise. I really admire Conti’s ability to visualize this slow motion explosion in an artistic manner. I’m not completely sure what the algorithm would look like, but you can definitely see that Conti is well refined in it.
I think it is an indication of his character design background because even the way that the fruit is render seems to have a personality of some sort and the way that it is handled with the splat seems to give it a lot of character.
