Real-time R&D on the Aston Martin DB12, pushing a live Blender scene as close as possible to a final render.

Everything you see here runs in real time inside Blender. The goal of this R&D was easy to say and hard to pull off: a top-level visualisation of the DB12 without waiting on a single frame to render.

Most of the work went into optimising the materials and the scene itself. The car is lit only by an HDRI projected onto a dome, and we added a subtle roughness to the snow so the tyres actually feel like they're sitting on the ground.
