Believe it or not, what you see in the GIF above isn't an actual video recording but rather a 3D walkaround animation showcasing a 1984 Porsche 911 (930) created by Petter Steen, an experienced VFX Artist known for his expertise in automotive renders.

Taking digital photorealism to a whole new level, this animation was made using Blender, Unreal Engine, Maya, Substance 3D Painter, and Nuke, employing 22 UDIMs at 4K resolution. Additionally, the creator implemented a simple character animation to set up the reflection on the car's surface.
