Challenge: I participated in an international online CGI automotive challenge hosted by Andrey Lebrov. The mission was to create a full 3D automotive animation within a month, a test of both technical skill and creative storytelling.

Approach: I pushed myself to complete the project in just 1–2 weeks, focusing on realism and motion design. Using Cinema 4D and Corona Render, I crafted a dynamic car animation inspired by Pennzoil’s “The Last Viper” video, carefully synchronizing visuals and sound for maximum impact. The project required around 80 hours of rendering on my Ryzen 9 3900X with an NVIDIA GeForce TITAN and 64GB RAM.

Result: The animation earned me 5th place in the competition, standing out among dozens of global submissions. Beyond the ranking, the project was recognized by Andrey Lebrov himself, whose reaction validated the quality and creativity of my work. This challenge sharpened my skills in automotive CGI, taught me how to work under tight deadlines, and helped build international recognition for my craft.

Thanks!
