Project Overview:
This project is a high-end, complex 3D video poster and teaser for the underground Halloween event series FANGTASM, hosted at Berlin’s ://about blank club. Developed over the course of a month, the project covers a full production pipeline—from concept and procedural modeling to final compositing and sound design. The core focus was on establishing a dense, grim industrial atmosphere in the dark sci-fi / industrial style, utilizing authentic hard-surface geometry, procedural lighting, and dynamic elements.
Key Features & Technical Breakdown:
3D Modeling & Environment Design: Developed a detailed industrial environment, a brutalist central transforming cube with mechanics, and complex engineering assemblies: heavy blast doors with warning textures, rotating gears, hydraulic valves, Tesla coils, copper busbars, and pressure gauges.
Texturing & Look Development: Built complex procedural materials in Cinema 4D and Redshift—featuring realistic rust, weathered metal, wet cracked asphalt, and concrete with physically accurate roughness and bump/normal maps.
Procedural Animation & Scripting (Python): Utilized procedural animation and custom Python scripts to generate and control high-voltage electrical arcs (lightning), cascading electrical breakdowns between coils, and synchronized light flashes.
Lighting & Rendering: Set up complex multi-layered lighting using Redshift GPU. Configured volumetric fog, rim and skimming lights, and hardware ray tracing to achieve maximum depth and volume while keeping render times optimized.
Advanced Compositing & Pipeline: Rendered using multi-passes—including Depth of Field, Volume fog, and Cryptomatte masks—for seamless element integration during post-production in After Effects.
Sound Design: Professional sound design featuring heavy industrial metal impacts, screeching rusted machinery, electrical clicks, and high-voltage electrical discharges (Electric Arc / Tesla Coil Discharge), tightly synchronized with the visual rhythm under a dark ambient pulse.
Software & Tools Used:
Maxon Cinema 4D (Modeling, procedural animation, scene layout, and motion design)
Maxon Redshift (Flagship GPU rendering, shading, lighting, and volumetric atmosphere)
Python (Custom scripts for procedural generation and dynamic lightning simulation)
Adobe After Effects (Final compositing, color grading, Cryptomatte processing, motion blur, sound design, and mastering)…Project Overview:
