Technical Contributions:
I was responsible for the technical shots in the project. My work included creating a dynamic rug using cloth simulation for Scene 4, developing a fuzzy geometry node system using Bézier curves, and designing a geometry node setup for suspended liquid effects. Additionally, I implemented a liquid simulation for a tea-pouring sequence, ensuring realistic motion and interaction between fluid and surface elements.
