Mercedes Actross Brake

In 2019, the vehicle manufacturer Mercedes Benz developed a new braking system for its Actros truck series, which was presented in a vivid technical animation in the company's own interactive Service Parts app.

My task was to create the 3D, VFX and motion graphics part of the animation together with my colleagues from Imagestorm. Our main objective was to successfully convey the high quality of the new Actros brake in the most appealing way.

The 3D animation was created in Maya and then composited and finalised in Nuke. The main difference between the final design and the first concept is that the brake is designed to be more realistic and less hologram-like in order to highlight its high value and quality.
