About the project

For this project, a Mercedes Vito was prepared from scratch in Maya. The delivered CAD data had to be fully reworked — from geometry cleanup through UV layout to material creation. The core challenge was the shader work for the X-ray look. For the see-through effect to render convincingly, many objects had to be sorted and material groups separated cleanly — body, interior, engine, chassis, technical parts. Only then could the X-ray pass cleanly through every layer. The time invested in model preparation was necessary so that every layer of the X-ray could render cleanly — a technically demanding project with a visually strong result.
