Step into the heart of Italy with this 3D animation, where the spirit of la dolce vita comes alive in a glass of Aperol Spritz. A vibrant, sunlit Italian street, a blue-tiled table with a chilled Spritz at its center, and inside the glass—a dancing mannequin made entirely of liquid Aperol Spritz, moving gracefully to the rhythm of life.

The scene is surrounded by the simple pleasures of Italian culture, with a white porcelain ashtray and two more glasses of Spritz adding to the ambiance. The animation captures the essence of joy, relaxation, and the sweet life, all through the lens of a refreshing drink that’s become synonymous with Italian summers.

Using Blender, I modeled, animated, shaded, and rendered the entire scene where every detail is designed to make you feel like you’re sipping an aperitivo on a charming street in Italy.
