work: Asset rigging, particle rain simulation (3ds Max), Substance Painter texturing, Octane shading, kitbash city layout, post-production
position: CG Generalist
role: Freelancer
Personal project driven by passion for the DeLorean and Back to the Future films. A DeLorean asset was sourced, adjusted, prepared and rigged. Raindrops running down the car were simulated in 3ds Max using the particle system. Textured in Substance Painter. Rendered in Cinema 4D with Octane using complex shading networks and mesh lights for various parts. The city backdrop was prepared and laid out using kitbash assets with additional custom modeling. Lighting used HDR combined with key and fill lights plus light blockers. Post-production in Photoshop.
Case Study
Goal:
Personal project to create a cinematic scene featuring the DeLorean from Back to the Future.
Approach:
A DeLorean asset was sourced, cleaned up, adjusted and rigged. Raindrops were simulated with 3ds Max particle systems. Textured with Substance Painter. Rendered in Cinema 4D / Octane with complex shading networks and mesh lights. The city was built from kitbash assets with custom additions. Lighting combined HDR with key, fill lights and blockers. Tools: 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Octane Renderer, Substance Painter, Photoshop.
Result:
Personal portfolio piece.
My Contribution:
Full pipeline: asset preparation, rigging, rain particle simulation, texturing, shading, lighting, rendering, city layout, post-production.
