Surreal Automotive Landscapes: Look Development R&D
Bridge to the Ethereal: Automotive Look Development
This research and development project explored new visual approaches for premium automotive visualization, focusing on creating surreal environments that complement sophisticated vehicle design. The technical R&D concentrated on solving integration challenges between photorealistic automotive rendering and stylized, impossible landscapes.
My process involved experimental compositing techniques that maintain material authenticity while placing the vehicle within dreamlike contexts. The development included extensive testing of lighting scenarios—from golden desert backlighting to dramatic red accents—establishing a consistent technical framework while allowing for environmental variation.
Development Process
This series documents the iterative development of environmental elements and lighting scenarios. Each image represents a key milestone in creating the surreal automotive landscapes, focusing on the interaction between precision engineering and fantastical surroundings.
Technical Visualization
These Unreal Engine wireframe renderings document the technical implementation behind the surreal landscapes. Each visualization demonstrates specific challenges in material integration, lighting systems, and environmental design that were solved during development to create coherent interactions between the vehicle and its fantastical surroundings.
