Realization of a 3D rendering accompanied by Animations and Visual Effects of a Cyberpunk 2077 wallpaper.
Cyberpunk 2077 is an action-RPG video game set in a futuristic world within a society where technology in an integral part of modifying Humans. The title was released in 2020 and was developed and published by CD PROJEKT RED.
The realization of this project was based on an animated rendering of a wallpaper linked to the game, with a "retro" style in its color palette.
In order to realize this project, I went through several well-defined stages.
Dimensions: 1920x1080 px.
Frames per second: 60 Fps.
Duration: 26 seconds.
Composition: 3D editing with a shot by 2-nodes camera.
The dimensions of the cover image were divided by 2 in order to adapt it to the 1920x1080p resolution. Finally, the style of the composition is based on the principle of the "looped video".
When making the cutouts in order to obtain the different plans to create the 3D part of the production, it was necessary to proceed retouching to faithfully reconstruct the plans behind each cut element.
1. The trees and vegetation
2. The characters and the ledge
3. The city
4. The sky
All the elements and effects were made in After Effects by hand and using plugins.
All the animations were made by hand, some of which required additional cutouts in order to animate a very specific element without hindering other elements (eg: vegetation).
In order that the production appear more immersive, I deliberately added a slight sonority of fireworks explosions.

Designing this project allowed me to develop a new type of special effect: fireworks. I deliberately left the design of the effect "basic" within this production in order to remain faithful to the wallpaper.
