Showcase : Galerie der Medien GmbH - Mercedes CL Class 2006 [UPDATED with MAKING-OF!]
Hey everyone,
this is finally out of NDA and we're allowed to show it
This was used for the presentation of the new CL-Class on the Paris Motorshow.
It was shot in Norway and all PostPro (3d/compositing/colorcorrection) was done here in Munich.
All 3d was done in 3dSMax with Vray of course, Compositing with d2's NUKE and Colorcorrection in Iridas framecycler DI.
We are preparing an explaining version that will explain wich shots were real and wich were partly or fully CG. There's quite a lot of Set-Replacements and Set-Extensions as well as full CG Cars and Sets. The actual Spot was done
in full HD (1920x1080). We might present parts of it in full scale at a later time.
The crew for this Project :
In-House:
Joachim Lincke : Art-Direction, Lead Compositing and ColorCorrection
Thorsten Kaufmann (that would be me:P) : Head of 3D, Tracking
Christian Stoeckl : Shading Packshot and Interior (borrowed from Mackevision )
Dieter Morgenroth : Model Cleanup and rigging (also borrowed from Mackevision )
Jens Vollrath : 3D (My Left Hand and savior :P)
Jan Kiesel : Compositing, Stitching, Mattepainting
Freelancing:
Jan Dubberke : Compositing, Mattepainting
Fikret Yildirim : 3d
Vladan Subotic : 3d
Basic info :
Exterior Polycount : approx 4 million polys + a few thousand for the Driver
Interior Polycount (for exterior Shots): approx 1.5 million
Interior Polycount (for interior Shots):
As the Breakdown will take us a while to prepare and get ready here's some basic info as we were asked a lot :
The breakdown will most likely need a bit, just a few hints :
There was no Black CL available for Shooting, so every Black CL is Full CG.
The Bridge Shot that shows the Black one overtaking the silver one is completely CG, as well as all the night scenes with the black one. The Packshot (both the rolling and the last one) are also completely CG, as well as the interior nightshot. And then there are a lot of Set Replacements and Extensions like the above Tunnel Shot.
The breakdown(s) will explain things in more detail tho.
Kind Regards,
Thorsten
EDIT :
We finally got around finishing the Making-of movie. With 230mb it is pretty big to download, but it is good quality and longer then the original spot. Have fun!

and your interior are really really good.
