As I am scrapping the idea of an environment, I have been looking into other ways of completing a vehicle and to show to an audience. Car games usually start with your vehicle in a garage or something similar, but I have also seen, turn tables. A scene image, out of focus, (as this will stop the player looking else where) with a turn table in the center of the shot with the vehicle on it. Maybe even a styled floor space with the vehicle on, this could help show style, shadows and theme.
Some examples of what I thinking of for the end render and animation, hopefully. I need to make some development sketches and what exactly might and might not work for each individual vehicle.
