IMPETUS

During the brainstorming phase, one of the main challenges was finding a way to connect multiple environments into a cohesive short film. To address this, I chose a vehicle as the central element that travels through each scene, which ultimately led to the concept of creating a car commercial.

This project allowed me to explore a wide range of techniques and workflows. For the interior sequence, I used Houdini to simulate fabric motion and rendered the final result in Unreal Engine. For the desert environment, I generated distant mountain ranges in Gaea and reduced the polygon count in blender for game-ready assets.

All environment assets were modeled and textured by me, with the exception of the two BMW cars, which were sourced from Kevin's (ケビン) Sketchfab models.

雖說要製作幾個不同的場景是我最初始的想法，但要如何有目的的串聯在一起也是一個問題。這時我想到可以使用汽車作為短片的主角，藉由汽車奔馳在各式環境中進而將整個短片連接起來，因此最後得出這個汽車廣告的概念。
關於使用的技術和工作流程，在室內場景時，我使用Houdini生成織物飄動飛舞的動畫，再匯入unreal中渲染。而美國荒漠場景中，遠處的山巒和峽谷我使用Gaea做出寫實的山體的模型，接著進入blender製作無縫和簡化面數處理，使得它在unreal engine中不會太過影響效能。
所有的環境場景都是由我建模和貼圖的，除了主要的兩輛BMW車是來自Kevin's (ケビン)的模型。
