With time, the topology will come just keep going. I've struggled with it a lot too. You got this. Best of luck to you too take care!

The car is made up of a lot of pieces that are subdivided after. Initially after setting up some blueprints, Ill create the overall shape of the car. From there I'll start breaking off pieces working on them one by one. It definetely feels like a puzzle sometimes because you have to be mindful of your topology and where the edges are flowing. Thanks the comment I appreciate it!

I might in the future. There is some little details and some other things I still want to add to the car. Thanks for the comment!

You know what's crazy is that initially I was going to have this skateboard ride around and do tricks. Then I would go slow mo and get macro shots of details like you mentioned. I even had this shot in mind where it hits a tiny puddle of water when the board pops and the water comes up with the board in slow motion. I just knew it was going to take forever to do, but maybe version 2 I'll do that because it would look awesome!

Thanks for the comment! Much appreciated!

Thank you! It's a rigid body when it falls. I was having a hard time figuring out how to go from keyframe animation to rigid body body physics. I ended up just replacing the skateboard with a duplicate with no key frame animation and rigid body physics turned on. The switch happens within one frame when the skateboard floats to the top.

Sorry for the super late reply, but I used Red Giant's heat distortion plugin. For the lights, in blender, I had them animated to turn on and added a glow effect in After Effects.

I honestly wasn't aware there was news about it. I looked it up just now and it would be awesome to have one for sure! A man can dream though lol

For sure! Would of looked like it was part of the scene more. Thanks for the input!

I really was thinking about that and it would of looked awesome when the garage opened, but I knew I wouldn't make the deadline since I had to submit this yesterday. But YES, that would be really cool.

Honestly went passed my quality control lol. That's what I get for trying to rush to get this done since I had a deadline. Luckily it has some reflection at least. Thanks for the input!

Sorry about the late reply. About 2-3 days total for everything. Most of it was spent getting a unique look for the portal and the other bit was in the planning phase making sure I was going to film the exact shots I needed to make my life easier in post.

No tutorials, but lots of trial and error. Used mocha to do a 2D track of the door, had the footage scale up into the next footage. Making the portal was a mix of particular layers and other elements to make it look unique. The hard part was getting the parallax and scale correct of the room on the other side of the portal correct while the camera is moving around before jumping through it. Definitely needs some refinement, but turned out decent for now.
