Akira Collaboration

I saw this amazing animation on Linkedin half a year ago and had to light and render it. So I reached out to Toshihiro who is kind enough to collab with me. I cached his anim scene and converted it to Redshift, redid the lookdev on the character and the bike, and ran it through some Houdini pyro sim. The lighting was incredibly fun and challenging. Hope you like it!
