Having an opportunity to design a splash screen, along with still images and a product page animation for one of my essential tools, was a huge honor. It's a relatively short piece, but knowing it will be seen by countless Cinema 4D users every day brings me an immense amount of joy.

This concept has been on my mind for a while. I wondered what would happen if umbrellas fell from the sky instead of rain, and I imagined that they would open in a way that is similar to raindrops when they splash on impact.
As an artist, I found the idea very interesting because I love to play with the physical properties of everyday objects in ways that could never happen in real life.

One of the main challenges was bringing the umbrella to a rest within a specific timeframe. While rigid body dynamics provided a realistic collision that would be nearly impossible to animate by hand, they lacked the precision needed for the final composition. To solve this, I used a hybrid approach, blending the chaotic realism of dynamics with manual animation to ensure the umbrella stopped exactly in the desired position
