This is a little ad I made for a friend’s online lego store. He mainly sells custom guns. Hence this scene from The Matrix.
The models were built using LDRAW, imported into Blender and rendered in Cycles. Animated textures and logos, etc were made in After Effects. It took around 3 months of evenings and weekends, all told. The last two weeks were mostly spent rendering.
Multiple importance sampling is my new favourite thing.
