This full CGI 3D production for Hyundai involved responsibility for lighting and rendering. The primary focus was on creating a physically accurate lighting setup to achieve a high level of photorealism, with particular attention to the interaction between the vehicle surfaces and the environment.
The scene is set within a lakeside and mountain landscape, requiring a controlled balance of natural daylight, reflections, and atmospheric depth. Careful consideration was given to material shading and consistency across both on-road and off-road sequences.
The project was realized using Autodesk Maya and V-Ray, applying physically based rendering techniques to ensure realistic light behavior, reflections, and global illumination throughout the visuals.
