ACRYLIC RIBBON

Acrylic Ribbon is one of my personal projects, inspired by the great Vellum tutorial by Alexander Eskin and motivated by Alexander Vorobov's "Colorful Ribbon" project.

The purpose of this project is to explore and iterate Vellum solvers and constraints, navigate the solver through the DOP network, experiment with Redshift OSL shaders, and fine-tune the reflection and refraction on the wavy transparent object.

I used multiple Redshift OSL shaders to showcase various noise effects, and each shader performed admirably. However, the overall color tint adjustment solution that I intended to achieve through VEX didn't interact as expected with these OSL shaders. This aspect remains a challenge for a future Vellum project.

For color correction and adjustment of lighting curves/levels in the images, I used Adobe Photoshop. Similar lighting adjustments for the showreel below were carried out with Nuke, and the final touches were added using Adobe After Effects.
