For this years College Football Playoffs we created various stings featuring Nikes Football uniforms. The same animations (along with various print versions) were created for all teams taking part in the College Football Bowls and Finals. The basic idea was to have the top teams starting out in their normal Nike uniforms, transforming themselves more and more as they go closer to the big final game until they reach the full crystal glory as the grand winner.
This thing is a pure Houdini beauty, transforming an arbitrary geometry first into a pyramid crystal shape and then back to a glass sheet version taking all surface attributes like UVs or material seperations along the way. Redshift was used as the renderengine of choice.
