Rise is the outcome of an hidden interest in automotive rendering. It all started from a boring evening that quickly turned out to be a total fascination for CGI cars. This is my first attempt at cars rendering, by making parallels between now and then.

RETROSPECTIVE

then vs. now

As someone with no car knowledge, this was a total playground with discoveries every day. From learning about the proper tire to put on a car to how engines work, I went from a rookie to a well-rounded beginner.

THE CONCEPT

and its limits

I tried to concentrate the takes on what I understand, being the simplest parts of a car, starting from the body, going to the wheels, and finishing with the head and rear lights. Once I felt comfortable about this, I jumped the cliff and dived straight into action shots to learn the craft of cars in motion.

These are a collection of refined and not-so-refined renders. Most are late-night renders, me being me and passionate about my craft, when I start doing something that I love I just can't stop.

In its production, I learned a lot about in-studio car photoshoots. I watched a lot of behind-the-scenes about this process, and in regards to action sequences, I went deep into car cinematography. I watched a bunch of videos on the subject, concentrating my efforts on shots directly took in the streets.

Tests of camera move

After looking at car commercials and car short films, I animated a few cameras in a similar way. This is a compilation of a few camera moves.

POST PROD

Color Correction and additional effects

Finally, when I work on a project, I always tend to pass as much time in After Effects then what I actually spend in Cinema 4D. That way, I adjust everything I rendered and add the final touches to make everything perfect.
