A new Blender 2.90 CGI animation rendered on Cycles: A car chase with an Audi Q7 and a Audi RS4 Police car chasing through the city…
The vehicles come from the add-on “Transportation”: https://blendermarket.com/products/transportation. Cars are imported in Blender with the add-on, uv unwraped in Blender and textured in Substance Painter.
The vehicles, that compose the traffic, are animated along the same curve that create the road. All assets are high-poly but managed with an instance system. In that way, it’s possible to duplicate each vehicle many times, without overloading the scene in Blender. I added a random color gradient on the car paint shader of each vehicle, which allows to obtain a new color when I duplicate the car.

No modeling involved in this project. Just assets arrangement, UV set and shading.

Gee that was intense and awesome. I agree with @tricotou . A police siren would’ve added more tension to the sequence and also made it more real… Police cars usually need to have the siren on while chasing so that everybody on the road leaves way. Amazing animation though!
wow this is amazing! very well made all around, from the animation to lighting to camera angles, a lot of skills required to put an animation like this together. very cool
