Volkswagen Tayron

An automotive CGI study of the new Volkswagen Tayron. One focus: light that sculpts the bodywork and makes the render indistinguishable from a photo.

01 / About the project

From brief to final frame.

The brief

A personal study: with a high-quality 3D model of the Tayron, the goal was to put all the effort into lighting and push realism as far as possible.

How it was made

Instead of relying only on an HDRI, I built a hybrid lighting setup in Blender, with each light placed to draw the body lines and control reflections. Scene, lighting, rendering and color grading were done in Blender; Photoshop came in only for final touch-ups.

The result

Images with depth and controlled reflections that highlight the SUV's aggressive yet elegant design.
