Fluidism doesn't work like I want it to(for containers),
no slow motion dolly or anything cool.
3 Gigs of sim data total for the 1200 frames.
The brick is slightly...

Very nice!
Now it's time to rig it,
then get him to say some sort of commercial.
I stopped using Maya for animation when I was 14(Now I'm 16) but I can animate, do lipsyce and generalized acting...

Nice.
I can animate if you ever want to rig it.

Check the tutorials that go with Maya.
I remember a long time ago that there was one for mechanical rigging.
It was really easy and fun.

I think manually keying it the best idea,
wouldn't be that hard and since your not using a fluid solver it should give the same result.

So far the topology looks good.
High poly or low poly?

Well after ripping out my hair I've gotten the fluid to a nearly usable point.
Sorry about the fast movement should have checked before I baked 7 gigs of sim data.
Just a test for his mug,
when he...

Not much to say.
Lighting is now Photon based,
so after lots of tweaking it's down to 6 minutes a frame and the lighting looks sweet(Nice quality etc).
More textures,more objects and such.
Some...

Well I fixed part of the reaction to the marble and the "Huh?" part.
Trying to get the lighting, textures and such better.
Need to find some bushes and place the street light somewhere else.
Also...

Spec map and ray mirror map would make it very convincing.
