MARS HOME PLANET

Rendering Challenge

I’ve always wanted to do a side-project that has a sci-fi feel, has a documentary style and is fun to make. Thanks to HP, it has finally come true. We entered the rendering challenge with my friend colleague Krisztian, and guess what: We Won! It was a lot of fun working on this, and I hope we’ll do similar stuff in the near future. Congratulations to the other winners as well!

We imagined a scenario where Mars has been inhabited a few hundred years ago. At this time, only industrial transportation was available but as colonization has advanced, Mars also became a tourist attraction. Martian Logistics Co. saw the opportunity and – having been transporting workforce to Mars for the last 50 years – now has the infrastructure to transport civilians as well. The following video shows a glimpse of these exotic times, when the first civilians could visit the Red Planet.

The video was made as an entry to the Mars Home Planet Rendering Challenge and won in Animated GPU category.
