Night Jaguar Test Shot 01

A test shot for my short animation which will come out... eventually.

It took me exactly one month to build this shot (and the other two), with most time spent modeling the car, which really suprised me. What also suprised me, in a negative way, is that this single frame took me 8-10 hours to render. Yikes. Might be because this is rendered inside Redshift Fog volume, might be because my pc isn't good for any serious 3D work... Probably both. Because of this I'll be switching to Unreal Engine. It will probably be a bitch to set up and I'll have to learn more skills but I think that working in realtime will work better for me in terms of performance.

I could've worked more on the scene, add more details like grit and plants, but because of abovementioned reasons I'll just leave this be and spend the energy on something else. Switching to unreal will probably change the look anyway.

For those who care, the car is Jaguar XJS, a very cool 80s car. It was modelled in Blender.
