Keep Calm, the video (2008)

A 3D modeling and animation experiment with AutoCAD and 3ds Max

Created in 2008, this short video blends solid modeling in AutoCAD with textured animation in 3ds Max. Set in the depths of space, the scene begins with scattered metallic components—sleek, reflective, and aluminum-like—drifting silently before converging in a calculated sequence. Bit by bit, they assemble into a fully-formed flying saucer.

The camera, locked on a central target, rotates smoothly around the emerging structure, revealing a continuous row of windows encircling the ship’s edge. Once completed, the spacecraft accelerates forward. The lens tracks its movement until the Earth appears gradually from the side—its blue arc signaling the intended destination. As the ship advances, it fades into the distance, a single point traveling toward the planet.

More than just a 3D test, this video captures a moment of creative exploration—when technical curiosity met cinematic imagination.
