Have been working in the UK for more than a year and my life has changed a lot. The most exciting one is that I have my first car here, the Mazda MX-5. She has a charming shape, although small but enough to meet my usual commute needs. I always wanted to make a group of her pictures, now thanks to the lockdown, I have a chance.
Render with Unreal Engine 4.24 and some post process with After Effects. Due to the performance limitation of my laptop, ray-tracing was disabled so the results of some reflections were not ideal. I tried to add textures to the lights to simulate reflections, such as reflections from the ground. As we all know that the Unreal Engine is so powerful now, maybe the only thing I need to do is just upgrade my machine..
The Swift in red belongs to my friend, Mihai, who truely knows cars. I still remember when I first arrived here, he drove his sweet ride to pick me up to work. After I had my own car, we often met each other on the road. What impressed me was that this guy's driving skill is really good, like pass through a roundabout without slow down, If I find that he did slow down, it means that we were about to meet a speed camera.
Never forget those good old days.

I keep the rendering history, and process it into a sequence by using frame mix, although there are some pixel errors, it's a quite interesting experiment, which can be called another type of break down.

In the future, I will leave England, I will always remember this beautiful land, excellent partners, and you, my first car.
Thanks.
