XS Concept was done after some old sketches I did long time ago. I do not like getting into very commercial type designs, I like to express my own "crude" visions which some might find it not very appealing. This is a hydrogen concept SUV with retro-futuristic influences. I liked to exaggerate on the interior level of details but I still kept a simplistic design. The interior is designed to avoid any types of buttons, only touch-sensitive displays based on a high level of semiotics, thus using more symbols than crowded texts like nowadays industry does. While the exterior volumes and shapes express the industrial design "flare", on the interior I wanted to achieve a more organic feeling. The pulsing lights creates the resemblance of a blood network of a car that is "alive". This I called "mood fog" and also has the purpose of reflecting driver's mind state. This has 2 purposes: better mind fusion between driver and car, and also I imagined it like a traffic caution. (some driver's mind state are more predisposed for unpredictable actions). The ceiling can switch between transparent to opaque by releasing a gas between 2 layers of glass. The wheels have non-rotating caps which are LED displays.
Regarding the CG work:
I was responsible for basically everything: 3D modeling, animation, shading&lighting, compositing & post production, synchronization after soundtrack.
Soundtrack: Sourze - Last day
