This will be my first CG Challenge, and it’s kinda ironic that this idea would be chosen because I’ve kinda been toying around with the idea for a while. I’m going for the tried and true futuristic race. I like that kind moreso because your not hindered as much by historical basis, so you can come up with anything you like. I’m still undecided as to the setting of the hovertrack, whether inside a cityscape (which a few tests in Maya proved alot harder to pull off then expected), or just out in the countryside, maybe an aquatic world. Here is a recent test I did in Maya, just trying different track curvatures. Also it was test to check render time, as the image below used a custom motion blur in Mental Ray. I’m excited.
