Advanced Character Animation – Rally Race

And here is the final rendered Rally Race animation! It is accompanied by a breakdown video, featuring the idle animations and some other how-it-was-done shots.

I’m happy with the outcome of the project, and may revisit it in the future. If so, I will be adding in particle effects for dirt and dust, which was left out of this version in the interest of rendering time. Considering that rendering took a full one of my ten available weeks, I have no regrets on that decision!

The Daren model is even being refined as of this week for use in my pre-portfolio, and the environment will see the same treatment later this quarter. The gears of a revised animation are already turning!
