Behind the scenes of: CG Car commercial

[dropcaps type=’normal’ color=’#ffffff’ background_color=’#262626′ border_color=’#262626′]T[/dropcaps]oday, We’d like to take you back a couple of years to this automotive project. This animation was an in-house commissioned R&D project.

Instead of key framing the motion of the car, it was performed real-time using an Oculus Rift DK1 for maximum immersion, along with an Xbox 360 steering wheel and Unity.

The motion data of the car was fed into Maya for use with the high resolution geometry, after which the scenes were lit and rendered using V-Ray. Enjoy: a highly detailed, shiny new car, smoothly moving and with lighting on point at every turn!
