The Renault Boreal was the third feature showcase film we made this year for Renault, with Arpel Films. We had a little less freedom on the animation this time, but we are pretty happy with the result.
The biggest challenge was optimisation. The environment, a golden-hour landscape of fields, hills and modern architecture, needed a lot of detail but also had to render fast, with more than 10,000 frames to deliver. We set up a system that hides parts of the background depending on the camera angle, and adjusted the quality of each asset based on its distance from the camera.
