KTM X-Bow college capstone

This is a project that i spent around 2000 hours on in the matter of a semester and a half. was my final attempt to show everything i learned, and it earned me top special fx artist of my graduating class. That behind, if i was to re-do this project now, it would be a whole new animal and would look 1,000% better! It was the biggest project i ever took on and i trashed it many times in the process. the lighting, the materials, the track. so many things got re-worked many times.

Here is the final video, but all the steps i went through can be seen in the following images

before i even started the project i wrote down all my thoughts on what i wanted to do. (this changed immensely!)

My original idea was to use a porsche, ultimately i ended up going with KTM and kept the idea of the garage

This was before i re-hulled all of the lighting and materials in my entire scene. however you can see the concept off the garage came thru

Base clay render (no seats yet)

played with the colors for a bit

The amount of time and detail i went into can be portrayed in this image, from USB today ferris company (my school) to all images i took or created. down to my drawing on the left

in the end the video came out alright, but the one image is my favorite.
