This is a small sampling of the equipment renders I worked on under contract with Caterpillar Inc. for use in their online marketing. For more views of these machines, including full interior and exterior spinsets, visit https://www.cat.com/en_US.html
CAD models were initially assembled by a sister team at the facility I worked at, I was responsible for converting these to polygonal models and preparing them for photorealistic 3D renders, a process that varied between projects but generally included adding materials, UV mapping, remodeling broken parts, and on occasion rigging to repose parts of the machine. I was also responsible for compositing the final renders.
Software used: 3ds Max for D6 Dozer, Maya for other machines, Photoshop and Illustrator used for various custom materials such as films, rendered in V-Ray, composited in Photoshop and After Effects. Worked on various dates from 2017-2023.
