Ice Cream Van

Cinematic video

To create this video I rendered an animated camera in Maya with Vray and I used Nuke X to do the compositing. I added some movement in the turbines and other parts to make it look more alive.

Process

Blocking of model and shaders

The 3D model in a polished stage. Topology with all quads and support edges.

UVs and layout done with texel density to hold close ups. I used Vray proxies for heavy meshes like the popcorn and sprinkles jar.

All textures were done in Mari

I used Zbrush to sculpt food like the popcorn

Test renders with Bump maps

I used Midjourney images to create a custom HDRI background.

I used Nuke X to add the clouds and birds and do the final composition
