Straight from the streets of Night City, I'm proud to present my work on the Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru for Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition.
As a senior vehicle artist on this project, my role was to create the 3D model, the UVs and the textures, and implement the car seamlessly into the game. It was a privilege bring this unique piece of Cyberpunk lore to life, ensuring every detail - from the sleek body silhouette to each detail of the interior - did justice to its reputation.
The Semimaru is a high-performance sports car, a unique custom build that is both a love letter to classic sports cars and a testament to Night City's illegal street racing scene. Unlike mass-produced vehicles, the Semimaru is a one-of-a-kind beast, a legendary hypercar with a story of its own.
I focused on capturing the car's distinctive character, paying close attention to its sleek, aggressive lines and the intricate details that make it feel like a true Night City legend. It was a fantastic challenge to bring this vehicle to life, ensuring it looked as a top-tier hypercar should.
A huge thank you to my amazing vehicle team for their invaluable feedback throughout this project.
