Lunar Rover

The Lunar Rover is a collaboration with NvidiaStudio to test a GPU and create a video series for their YouTube channel. The original concept is by the artist Mattias Adolffson. I love the caricature’s convoluted and humorous design. That’s why I wanted to do this project.

I used Blender to Model and Render, Gaea to make terrain, Substance Painter for texturing, and Photoshop for postproduction. Also, I made a short workflow guide, Videos for the Nvidia Studio Channel, and if you want to check out some 4K images and 360 videos of the Lunar Rover, check out my Artstation.

Thank you! @ETHICALCONSUMPTION For this project, the videos are hosted in the Nvidia Studio YT channel, not I’m my YT.

@MilanStankovic Thanks Milan!

One of the best 3d Adaptations of 2D illustrations I’ve seen lately! So cool!

I am nuts for Mattias Adolfsson’s work, and this is a great interpretation.

If anyone cares to see the original artwork (and more), it is halfway down this page:

specifically:

I really like the style you developed for it!

Thank you, @stevenchoi I appreciate it!

@piranha4D Me too!! His work is awesome. Some time ago, I made another interpretation. And Thank you! I’m glad you liked my interpretation.
