For this project, I would like to render a basketball. Similar to the image below, I would like to replicate the reflection shown on the floor. I would also replicate the grip (texture) of the basketball. There are also some dark shadows and bright spots (I am not sure of the proper terminology) on the top part of the basketball. Lastly, I would like to animate the image. I would like to show the basketball rotating.
For this project, I will create a fireworks display. I will demonstrate a firework shell shooting into the sky, and at a certain point, the shell will explode in the sky. Once the explosion occurs, I will create particles shooting out of the shell. At first, the particles will be bright, then they will begin to fall and their color will fade away.
