Sorry Flamingo Hoodie (2020)

This is the final product. Since this promo video will mainly be used on Instagram and other social media platforms I decided to go with a 1080x1035 frame. I also made it short and to the point to get people engaged with the content. Overall, I like how everything turned out for this project. 

For the animated hoodies on the hangers element of the video, I animated about 10-12 hangers  and exported the alembic file for one of them into Marvelous Designer. After a bit of  time and optimizing I was able to get the hoodie to simulate on the hanger correctly and basically repeated the same process of exporting to C4D. After getting everything back into C4D I made copies of the same alembic for the hoodie and aligned them with the other hangers on the rack. Since the both had the same animation data it was pretty straightforward of lining things up. 

Here's a somewhat closer look into the lighting and texturing process. After exporting an alembic animation out of Marvelous Designer, I imported it into C4D and also created some custom textures in Photoshop. I only wanted the alpha channel for this project so I could overlay it on top of my background elements. 

I ended up creating the hoodie model in Marvelous Designer. Here are just some clips that I captured during that creation process. 

For this project I wanted to focus on combining different elements for different project files to create a final piece of work. I started with some MoGraph animations in C4D to create a background element.
