I made this project out of frustration with the character designs in Pixar's “Cars” • In my opinion, the front of a car already forms a face without putting eyes on the window • I performed all production tasks  •  I entirely 3D modeled this truck from scratch and used multiple 3D renders as references to create the consistent AI generations of the truck.

What if they had Ikea during the Baroque age? • It's so fun to work with AI, unlocking numerous project ideas that would have remained dormant with prior workflow limitations • The AI handled the part of this that would have been a difficult visual effect before • However, I still had to create the text overlays and position + animate them by hand • I performed all production tasks
