Full CGI Film:

Creative vision behind the project. Part 1

An endless cycle of driving exhilaration. The thrill of perfectly balancing the car through every corner. Time slows down, and all you need is a brief pause to catch your breath, admire the genius of this creation, and then push on for another lap.

Honoring Japanese engineering, it is most appropriate to exhibit this vehicle by navigating it through the roads where it belongs. The breathtaking landscapes of Mount Fuji, nearby lakes and winding touge roads are perfect for this finely balanced, homologated chassis.

While it may appear stock, it feels like a genuine racing car, allowing you to fearlessly tackle every blind apex on the winding mountain roads of Shizuoka Prefecture, delivering an authentic AWD experience.

The red maple autumn season symbolizes the end of blooming, the end of long sunset evenings, and the onset of dark, cold days. Yet, it’s not an end but a unique beauty in itself, and the GR is more than ready to keep pushing through every season of the year.

The car is meant to be driven
Visuals are meant to show a functioning product. The vehicle’s silhouette is a work of art on its own. Observing it in motion amplifies this effect and breathes life into it.
Vehicle’s interaction with curvy roads and environment was recreated using Unreal Engine and specifically Chaos Vehicles tool.

Thanks for attention, next parts of the project will follow.

Hi there @dmit_m74,

Welcome back to the Unreal Engine forums. Hope you’ve been well :slight_smile:

I hope you can forgive my ignorance about cars, but I wanted to pop in and say this is such a great showcase. Every element from the lighting to the environment to the falling leaves made this video feel so professionally polished. The animations are fluid and feel impactful. Such a brilliant job! :smiley:

Thanks for taking the time to share. How long were you working on this particular cinematic?

Paying homage to engineering brilliance
Designing and producing a set of homologated vehicles for daily use nowadays is a rare achievement. Yaris GR is destined to become a historically significant car, evolving from a young timer to a classic.
This model features a lightweight 3-cylinder engine, designed specifically to minimize inertia forces. Complex suspension is meant to be modified and prepared for racing. Chassis benefits from weight reduction and optimal distribution, ensuring stability.

The core feature of the Yaris GR is its handling qualities, primarily achieved through an advanced suspension system. Therefore, it was vital to meticulously demonstrate the entire mechanism, aiming for the highest level of detail and animating it to showcase its kinematic abilities.
