This is my entry to the annual HUM3D vehicle rendering challenge, first time ever participating in a contest with this theme, it has been a long, fun and interesting road, a fabulous practice of designing, modeling and hard surface texturing. I wanted to experiment with some crazy ideas for a new kind of monster car race, featuring urban and abandoned terrains.
Starting with the modeling of the Charger's body (I love muscle cars)
Chassis + roll cage (safety first)
Front bumper reference, Some agressive monster-like bumper modified from its regular design
Front view principal reference + modeling
Principal inspiration reference+ almost full modeling of the Charger
Rim principal reference+ modeling
Rear view modeling
Wireframe preview, now to Substance!
After exporting the bodywork's FBX file, I let substance to unwrap the UV's automatically, so I got UDIM tiles ready to work... but I had to edit them in Blender to have a better distribution of the uv islands, then re-sent to substance to apply paint, labels, graphics and imperfections to it.
Checking UDIMs in blender for the front view...
Topology check... Modeling, check! Texturing, check!!
Now for the environment I managed to find some incredible assets in Sketchfab and arranged them in a way that I could catch this jumpy-industrial feeling that I needed for the final shot, special thanks to those amazing artists that uploaded these scans and models:

"Urban Garbage - Low poly prop set" ( https://skfb.ly/oyFwF) by Daniel Zhabotinsky
"Osaka downtown" ( https://skfb.ly/6ZowF) by matousekfoto
Using every part of the shot as an instance, I could manage this big scene with not much problems...
Now the render gallery!
FFinal composition with post-production.
Now the bonus tracks!
Thanks for watching!
