Better yet, The feather version of Audi A4L viral video was nominated for the Best Business Creative Award of the ROI festival. Regarding interactive projects, we applied the impressive digital actor technique into vehicle launch event for the first time in China by bringing the Racing Legend Senna Ayrton back to “life” with digital actor technique. Senna travelled from the past in a classic NSX to the launch event of the new generation of Acura NSX and revealed the new vehicle together with the General Manager of Honda China MIZUNO Yasuhide. For VR virtual reality, we developed an immersive driving simulator for NextEv EP9 which was exhibited on the Shanghai Auto Show. With a realisitic reappearance of a part of the Nurburgring Nordschleife, the environment, visual effect and even graffitis on the walls, the experiencer can entirely immerse in the racing experience and feel the strong performance of EP9 in a direct way. This innovative and unique experience attracted tons of people and was one of the most polar items on the Auto Show.

Chaos Group: We know rendenring is a very important link of CG production. Can you tell us how does BITONE keep the high quality output in this link?
BITONE YE Qing: With CGI, we can turn imagination into reality, and during the process, rendering can decide the final quality of the output. At present, the standards for production period, efficiency, and quality keep improving in the CG industry, meanwhile the requirement for rendenring is also updating.
