Inertial Drift Story Cars

These are the 4 main story cars from Inertial Drift. I concepted, designed, modeled and animated the cars for the game. Initially I began my concepts for this project with sketches in photoshop but over time I found this to be an inefficient method and began concepting in 3D using blender. I was able to test drive the rough concept models and see how they looked from various angles when playing the game. From there I would iterate on the models using non destructive techniques where possible until the designs were finalised. All models were made using blender.

Some cars went through multiple design and polish passes.

The custom shader the cars are using was created by my colleague Michael (https://twitter.com/FlaxenFlash). It allowed me to use a texture to define different material types with different shadow, rim light and specular properties in one material.
