Context

The ESM-5 department sits at the end of the design process. It visualizes and presents design drafts. In the CAX Center, a room similar to a cinema, cars are projected at full size and in high resolution. Different environments change how a draft is perceived. This helps decide faster, alongside drawings and physical models.

  • Optimizing CAD models for visualization
  • Building digital environments for render scenes
  • Presenting different design ideas

Tools: DeltaGen by RTT and Autodesk VRED, plus Maya, Photoshop and PowerPoint.
