Heineken.
A 3D drink showcase — a visual feast of handcrafted elixirs blending artistry and innovation. Vibrant hues, tantalising highlights, and glass that reads cold enough to sweat.

[CH. 01] — Direction
The brief was 'luxury, redefined sip by sip' — so I built the bottle from primitives, developed a green glass shader with realistic thickness and dispersion, and simulated condensation droplets on the surface for that cold-out-of-the-fridge feeling. The label is a UV-unwrapped high-resolution texture so it holds up at print scale.

[CH. 03] — Process
How it was made.
01
/ Reference
Two weeks of Heineken commercial stills and studio product photography. Studied the way real product ads use glass, cold light and negative space.
02
/ Modeling
Bottle from a lathe curve for symmetric perfection; cap and neck ribbing modeled by hand for micro-imperfections that read as real.
03
/ Shading
Volumetric glass shader with correct IOR, absorbtion tinted to the Heineken green, plus a subtle sheen on the label paper.
04
/ Lighting
Large softbox key, a rim from behind to separate the bottle from the black, and a tiny kick on the cap.
05
/ Post
A whisper of chromatic aberration on the highlights, film grain, and a Portra LUT for warmth in the shadows.
