He guys...
nice thread this one. But with what tools do you do the modelling in SU...
is this done woth the terrain tool. Ive seen posts here where they tell they made car bodies in 5-10 minutes -
I model quickly and create 90% of the concepts in just a few minutes. ~95% of these concept sketches use only SketchUp with no additional scripts added. I do like some of the scripts like SketchyFFD and a few others but all scripts seem to have advantages and disadvantages. What's the terrain tool? Did you watch any of the car tutorial videos I posted several months ago? They pretty much suck, however, I believe some of the basic geometry creation & editing methods I use are conveyed in an understandable manner.
I'm looking for the elusive script that gives the user "instant aesthetic prowess" . . . I don't think that one has been written yet . . .
At this point in my modeling status, I neither have the time, talent, patience or desire to model professionally rendered, fully detailed concept cars. Sometimes, I get a little closer to this result, but then I move on to the next one . . . quick concept sketching is what I enjoy the most.
Happy Sketching,
Brad

. . . CFTD . . .

. . . time for some new wheels . . .

nice enzo

Thanks - I admit, the Enzo was part of the inspiration for this one - guess that's obvious - guess that means I did something right this time?
My answer to the question "Was this design successful?" is always "Would you want to be seen driving it?" I think this one is a "yes" but that's just my opinion.

Maybe you can use this very original presentation?

I think that mini mini van looks great. I have wanted ,for a while, to build a mini van style vehicle..More of a coupe than a van
Here is a quick sketch of something I came up with a year or two ago

This car . . . well, everyone has a bad day . . . this is probably an accurate reflection of my "bad day car" . . .

he he i think it would be cool if your car transformed into a diffrent shape depending on your mood

. . . wip . . .

. . . cftd . . .

. . . cftd . . . the contrast between the curvy parts and the sharp, chiseled parts aren't visually compatible . . . must be time to move onto the next one . . .
Happy Sketching,
Brad

. . . not even sure why I post things like this . . . perhaps another example of what not to do? The proportions are bad, the overall design is bad . . . on to the next one . . .
-
lol thats funny. I like you making cars, you get to the idea in your head fast and see if your doing good or not, then on to the next one. he he that's you catch phrase! "On to the next one"

. . . this one is really something . . . something what?
-
. . . a few more details . . . I almost like this one . . .
-
. . . last car for the week - lots of projects due (work) . . .
