3D Car Simulation

Dakar Experience

Director

We helped our friends at Blank to create an experience for their client Redbull, related to the Dakar competition. We made a full 3D animation, with a tailor made environnement based on the client needs.

Full 3D Environnement

One of the most challenging part of this project was the creation of a full 3D environnement, tailor made to match our specific needs.
We had to create a 2km road, passing through various landscape : forest, mountain, canyon and desert.
The goal was to merge in a single experience the key landscapes encountered during the Dakar competition.

Playing with the 3D car simulation

We simulated the animation of the car, based on a real-world scale. The speed and trajectory are calculated according to the weight of the car, the suspensions, the torque of the motor, the shape of the terrain, and many more parameters.

The video in situation

The video was used inside an interactive quizz on the Redbull website.
Questions were asked at various key moments, and the player had to choose quickly, as a co-driver.

3D Modeling

We create custom 3D modeling for each project. From scratch or based on provided files,we can create any object.

Cinema 4D

3D Animations

We can animate anything in 3D to give life to our projects : objects, cameras, characters, particles, lights, etc..

Cinema 4D

Shading

We created tailor-made textures and materials, using the latest Physically Based Rendering shaders techniques.

Arnold Renderer

Rendering

We rendered this project on the fastest render farm, using hundred of servers to deliver in time.

Ranch Computing

Compositing

Using 32bpc multi-layer OpenEXR workflow, After Effects allowed us to composite our 3D passes and add creative effects.

After Effects

Delivery

We delivered all the files necessary for the exploitation, in the various ratios and codecs needed by the client.
