Plumero comes from spanish word duster and that’s also a name of the Dakar Rally Concept Car – Animation developed for Croatian Dakar Team. Based on the design of Dario Dropucic and engineering by experienced Race Engineering company Kvocic d.o.o. and Faculty of mechanical engineering (Zagreb, Croatia) car was modelled, textured, rigged, animated and rendered in the desert environment. The whole project was executed under short deadline of twelve working days. So more important feels the rigging part of the process which was covered by Fredrik Stenson.
In overall, design of the rally concept car is dedicated to engineering and functionality. There were a lot of rules to follow, regarding the conditions on one side and Dakar compettion guidelines on another. There are still some rules left in digital medium but impression of what is real could be bend. Therefore intention of Art direction was to show and present another emotional, artistic side of the project, still packed with action in counterpart with a nature of a desert.
