It was a glittering Chevrolet Camaro ZL 1 that showed a glimpse.


A program like a news show talks about a race confrontation between a human and AI male host.


A diagram showing the state of the race was displayed. The light blue color is displayed as "Team A. X.A." and the color red is indicated as "Team Camaro".


This "A. X. A. (Aja)" seems to be developed AI.


News images such as "AI car has surpassed the world record" are inserted in a glitter ......


Currently, we can see that the battle between A. X. A. and that human being is being done.


The red Camaro ZL1 that is ahead is "Team Camaro", that is, the human national team. The AI's car that will follow up was announced at the Shanghai Motor Show 2015Chevrolet concept car · FNR.


It's A.X.A. "This is the first time to fight people", but all truly is a well-deserved driving. I will overtake it by putting a running line over from the outside with a curve.



The human race side can not keep silent for this.


Raise the speed further and rush into the tunnel with nearly running at the same speed.


Then, the car body of the FNR and the tire wheel begin to shine ......


I showed an action that slides forward in front of Camaro ZL1.


And it is perfect for the front of the Camaro ZL1 which runs at a tremendous speed.


Fierce "Tail to NoseBattle of Naru "Nose to Nose".


Then Camaro ZL1 began to shine red this time.


Then speed up and charge for FNR. I thought that I had opened the road with a prepared crash, FNR which touched Camaro ZL 1 became a block of light ... ....


The moment of the finish to visit. Please check the movie to see what the goal is like indeed.


This pictureGDC 2017(Game developer conference 2017) that was announced. And it is also open to the public how it is made, but I am doing how to make it so that I can not believe anything in the video of the race in the future.

Behind the Scenes: Chevrolet 'The Human Race' on Vimeo


A competition scene in the cornering between the Chevrolet Camaro ZL 1 and the Chevrolet FNR that appeared earlier.


When the scene switches and the male finger taps the name of the color "Arctic Blue Metallic" ......


It is exactly the same scene, but the body color of Camaro ZL1 going ahead is metallic from red.


Actually, running in this scene is not Camaro ZL 1 nor FNR,Car for the base of CG "The Mill BLACKBIRD"It was.


AR Maker is attached to the body of The Mill BLACKBIRD here and there. Utilizing this ... ...


What was superimposed suddenly ......


Blue Camaro ZL1.


In the parking lot, the camera rounds around The Mill BLACKBIRD.


By processing this in real time, you can make the image "Stopping Blue Camaro ZL1".


The state of software used here.



Detailed light processing is done to make it realistic thoroughly ... ...



Effect processing is also done.




In other words, if you can set the "car body covering" setting, the body color is the level of simplicity just switching with a pull-down menu.




The Chevrolet Camaro ZL 1 which appeared so far is a model announced in 2015. However, some people say "I like the old model as speaking of Camaro." For example, Kore was the first Camaro that was released in 1967.


Of course, it is easy to make it to FNR's confrontation partner.


This was made with The Mill and the Chevrolet, Epic Games, known for the game engine "Unreal Engine", hand-crafting. Until now, CG's cars are high-quality things made over several days by visual effects artists in the post-production (post-shooting) process, but in this system the data is stored in Unreal Engine It is sent directly to the real time AR, and it is seamless until synthesis, as if "shooting" and "after shooting" are integrated.
