Arc Racers

Arc Racer Test Render V5

I think this is the finished shot unless I decide to dirty the car up a bit.

The Arc Racer is a personal project I've been working on sporadically for a little while. I thought it'd be a fun project to practice 3D with. I've also been experimenting with modeling for games so there is a low res model of the car as well.

Arc Racer Test Render C

In this update most of the elements are in place, but there are a couple of major things to fix. This will look a lot better with sound effects. :D

Arc Racer Test Render B

(now available in HD)

A test of the car using an animated 3D world to provide the illusion of movement. In this test, the car does not move forward in space.

Arc Racer Test Render A

An early test of the car and track.

Arc Racer Test Environment 360

This is the environment 360 render I did to make the stationary car test work. I heard they used this technique for some of the shots in the live-action Speed Racer movie (that I still haven't seen) so I thought I'd give it a try.
