Animation for a Competition

Client - SSM

3D Animation Project for International Competition

In August 2020, our team developed a 3D car animation for a prestigious international competition. Despite technical limitations, the project achieved remarkable results, ranking 127th among over 300 participants.

Technical Approach and Implementation

The project utilized:

• Advanced 3D modeling and animation techniques
• A specialized vehicle rigging system
• The ACES color space for post-production
• An optimized rendering process

Key Challenges and Innovative Solutions

The project presented significant technical obstacles:

• Development of complex rigging for realistic movement
• Render process optimization for CPU base render
• ACES workflow implementation
• Strict competition deadline adherence

Through creative technical solutions and intensive work, we:

• Compensated for hardware limitations with optimized settings
• Maintained high visual quality throughout all stages
• Met all requirements within one month

Achievements and Lessons Learned

Despite modest technical resources, the project:

• Demonstrated our capacity to work under constraints
• Confirmed team professionalism in challenging situations
• Provided valuable experience for future competitions
• Proved that creative concept quality can offset technical limitations

This endeavor became an important milestone in developing our 3D animation capabilities and demonstrated the need to use a GPU-based render and laid the groundwork for our ACES workflow.
