Another 917 and another in yellow. It was an accident (having it in yellow) but for the good. I love the 917/30, such a simple and almost cartoonish proportion with its wide body and massive rear wing. It just looks fast, and in qualifying trim it produced 1500hp(!) so its performance matched its menace.
For the rendering I wanted to have a play on this simple volume so I used a combination of many graphical paths, photos of paper, which are then chopped into the image to match the outline and surfaces of the car. Then just played with the colours and filters in PShop to get the best and most vibrant outcome. Most of the layers have color dodge on them, this is how I got to the yellow and other glowing details. For some reason the image comes up all blurry too, obviously the computer does not like me.
BTW- Thanks to everyone who has posted a comment, linked this blog, or just had a browse. Its really cool to get all the feedback. Glad your enjoying it, been fun doing it and it keeps me away from playing too much Pacman.
In my little bedroom here I have a wall with paint peeling off it. Because I really can not be bothered about repainting it, I think a large print like this will cover over the offending area. Stratos Zero would have to be one of the most amazing and original concepts ever and look what was derived from it. One of the coolest Rally cars ever!
This would have to be one of my all time fav Ferrari Race cars. Also being a Ferrari it needed a touch of bling in the color arrangement.
I thought this may be of some interest. I have been been toying around with this technique over the past 6 months. I think it has some real merit. Mainly for the reason that those "hard to render" design elements can be resolved by using vector graphics in programs such as Illustrator in a very small amount of time. All is explained and and expanded upon further in the images.
A render of a project I am working on in Alias at the moment. Kinda like a proportion study for a future Australian sedan. Been a lot of talk here at home on where the local automotive industry is heading and ways it can keep itself relvent. Thought it would be interesting to have a design take on this. Stay Tuned...
Been a long time since the last post, but have been couped up in the computer lab at home playing around with the tablet. This rendering is more an experiment than anything, its really not finished but its roughness made it cool I think. I was messing with brushes to get a more pencil look to the rendering. The actual car is one my Dads projects at home.
