Audi Toon

This image is a grab from an animation where a car drives through a cartoon world. Those animations were created for a customer of a company i worked for. Numerous short animations had to be produced. The customer wasn'nt sure about a look and so we created several examples. One exaple looked like you can see on this image. This look was the favourite of my colleague and me, but not of the customer. He dind't want a so dratsic cartonn look for the environment. But i like it very much which is the reason why i publish it here.

Almost everything was modelled by me. The car is a polygon model from TurboSquid. I built a complete circuit with a length of 4 km proportinal to the size of the car. After i had the flow of the track, with a height difference of all in all 500 m and lots of curves, chicanes and such stuff i modelled the hilly landscape around it. To get numerous unique vegetation objects, stones and clouds, i wrote a Python script that did all this for me. Finally everything was put in its place. A colleague built all the shaders except of the rim and the tire shader, those were mine. The final composition was also done by this colleague.

My contribution to this work:

• modelling (car model from TurboSquid)
• object generator scripts
• object placement
• rim and tire shader
• render optimization

The software that was used:

• Maya
• Python
• Mental ray
• Photoshop
