Gallery / Bugatti Chiron "Les légendes du ciel"

« on: 2022-01-09, 14:55:45 »

Hi guys! It is time to post this project here. Although you may have seen it before on my other socials in this case this is no surprise! 😅

It is all about the special edition 1 of 20 Bugatti Chiron "Les légendes du ciel". But it is also about my animation skills, as I'm starting with this. The last project with the studio Porsche 718 Spyder was a good start but only involved camera movement. Here I am taking it further with basic car animation, but also... Planes.

This special edition Chiron pays tribute to the the legendary French pilots. And you probably already seen the official Bugatti video with the Rafale fighter jet. But I thought it would be a great opportunity to take advantage of CGi to create something more fitting to the original concept of this special edition and bringing back to life these old WW1 planes which in the end creates a less brutal and more subtle/poetic tribute. But maybe it is just a matter of taste, I'll let you be your own judge and see for yourself.

The scene setup is pretty basic and do the trick, but in the end I think lack some background details. I went the optimized way with 2D and light geometry trees for background, with a fake vertical gradient to fake atmospheric fog. Which is obviously less resource intensive and allows my PC to not literally catch fire.

This is full CGI, no 2D elements were used except for the background. Render time was locked to 3 and 5 minutes per frame depending on shots. Rendered with Corona Renderer on a single Ryzen 5950X 16 cores / 64Go ram. The Bugatti 3D model is from Rexfu which I then modified to meet the specs of the Special Edition real car.

Gallery / Studio Lighting Study

STUDIO LIGHTING STUDY

It's been a while since I've posted something. Here I am with some studio lighting.
Probably the most basic thing but also hard to get right. So many creative possibilities and yet sometimes - Less is more.
So here is my take on the subject with a very minimalistic and clean soft lighting.

Also a big first for me. Animation. After some fooling around with still shots, I thought I’d give this set a chance to shine even more.
Not perfect, with some technical issues (some quite noticeable white flickering fireflies on edges and light covers) but a good start with already another project cooking !

Here is a new set of images I did recently for a personal project. Showing what the latest hypercar from Bugatti would look like around the Nurburgring. This is a full CGI scene build with custom handmade textures and assets, as well as Megascans textures.

Gallery / Porsche 718 Spyder

« on: 2021-03-25, 19:31:50 »

Hello guys ! Here I am again posting a project that I did a couple weeks back. Maybe you already saw it on my Behance or Instagram.

This is a new set featuring the Porsche 718 Spyder on a cold morning by the harbor. The scene is completely built in CGI, so nothing you see here is real. I aimed at creating a moody atmosphere playing with foreground elements and shallow depth of field.

This was also the first time I tried bringing life into my images by creating looping cinemagraph with subtle moving elements.








And here are the cinemagraphs that I did for this project. Sorry I couldn't manage to set the autoplay and looping option for the embedded videos, I don't know if this forum support it.

And finally here are some clay renders if you want to check them out.

Gallery / Porsche 992 GT3 Cup

« on: 2021-03-01, 19:13:27 »

Hi guys ! Following up my topic from last week, where I showed you the M3 G80 Competition. Today It's about the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup.

I've build these scenes completely in CGI from the ground up. There's no backplate this time. I wanted to try some dynamic shots that would communicate the thrill of racing these cars... maybe too much ? 🙈
It's all done in Corona, using custom textures and references that I took on location while I had the possibility to do a track-walk at Spa-Francorchamps.

Gallery / The new BMW M3 Competition

For my first post, I'd like to share a series of images I did showcasing the new BMW M3 Competition. It uses a simple HDRI/Backplate setup + a couple spotlights to highlights some of the car shapes.
