Hyundai Ioniq 5 N | Unreal Engine 5 Cinematic

This video is not an official work for Hyundai or any affiliated brands.
This passion project of mine took many months to come to fruition as I was working alone on the creative direction, animation, simulation, 3D modeling, environment design, color grading, sound design and so on. The racetrack environment was purchased from the Unreal Marketplace, but significanty redesigned and improved with remastered meshes as the existing actors in it were very low-quality and unrealistic. The city environment uses a map from ArchViz which was slightly redesigned to fit the project needs. But the second half of the city (2 shots with the church and the closing shot) and the entire woodland environments have been created from scratch.
The biggest amount of work was done in Unreal Engine 5, but other 3D software was used in the process too. The fur of the wolves and the water simulation were created in Blender along with some of the 3D models. Their textures were created in Adobe Substance Painter. Lens effects and flares were created in After Effects. Color grading was completed in Davinci Resolve. And finally the two drift simulations were generated inside Houdini FX and the credit for them goes to Arbaz Malik a.k.a FXGuru. I have found him on artstation as I have no experience in Houdini. He was great and very helpful.
