This is my final submission for the CATCH course. It is a historical version of a standard pokéball, as seen in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. This type of pokéball was hand crafted (in game) from an apricorn (sic) and wood. I wanted to imitate this as much as possible, so on the top half I used a tinted coat to add depth, and on the bottom a procedural wood texture.
I didn't include any stickers (because I felt it didn't fit with the historical setting) so instead I imagined the trainer customized it by painting the interior.
I am not entirely happy with the animation - I particularly struggled with the camera movement and smoke simulation - but I'm afraid it will have to do for now.
