Vehicle Spec Ad – Mercedes G-Class Off-Road
Personal project, 2024 – vehicle simulation in Cinema 4D, rendered with Octane Render.
About the project
This personal project from 2024 is a spec ad for a vehicle simulation: a Mercedes G-Class moving across rocky terrain. The piece was created without a brief, as a showcase of vehicle simulation and animation skills.
The focus was on believable driving behavior – how the vehicle rolls over uneven ground, how the suspension reacts, and how the car's weight reads as it moves through the terrain.
Technique
Vehicle, terrain and the full animation were built in Cinema 4D. The simulation drives how the wheels follow the uneven ground and how the body tilts and moves in response.
The scene was rendered with Octane Render, capturing lighting, paint reflections and the texture of the rocky ground in high detail.
