Modelling the car involved using the CAD model provided, and striping out the details that were not needed whilst rebuilding many of the other sections to allow for more efficient texturing and animation. Another challenge was to time up the animation to match the actual reveal that was spinning on a turntable, as well as the boot opening for the roof coming down. Due to the screen size, the render times for this project were huge, and everything went right up to the wire, involving us working through the night on the lead up to the event.

An impressive product to be involved with, and was a great success. I feel that a full rebuild of the 3d model would have been easier than trying to utilise the existing CAD model, plus more detailed information and a smarter approach to the expected timings would have helped us better match the animation to the unveiling.
