In 2022, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Pimm, a concept & design studio in Stockholm, on an animation for an electro Snowmobile prototype. Since the Snowmobile did not yet exist, the idea was to create a virtual ride through a realistic winter landscape in first-person perspective, conveying the sensation of driving and leaving the viewer eager for more.
In 2023, the idea emerged to create a Virtual Reality version of the existing animation, allowing users to experience the journey even more intensely through VR goggles. Additionally, by this time, the design of the actual Snowmobile had been finalized, enabling us to incorporate the winter landscape into a still variation. We optimized the VR version for the Oculus Quest 2. However, producing stereoscopic 3D in 6K 60 fps proved to be technically challenging, and I believe that for future endeavors of this nature, it would be beneficial to utilize Unreal Engine 5.
I was personally delighted to collaborate with Pimm on this project, and I'm grateful that they discovered me through my first winter landscape animation, which was a personal project shared on Behance.
The world's cleanest snowmobile
Less than 100g CO2/ km
We also created a night version featuring the awesome Northern Lights.
