Hope it's not a Repost.
Only about a million times. (It's in the "READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST A CAMARO CONCEPT" post.)

Too bad it didn't make it in the gminsidenews.com contest....I think we can make the assumption that this is the most popular design concept out there now. Not perfect, but it's got soul!!

Ya, this would have definatly won the contest.

I'd just like you guys to be honest with yourselves for a minute....if this were "just" a hand-sketched concept would it be blowing people away like it is now?
Is it the design or is it just the software?
Joe K. 96 Zeee!! 07-28-2003, 09:52 PM You're right....maybe it is just the software. There's just something about seeing a concept in a real world environment though. So much better than a hand drawing.

Exactly.
I've said it before... nothiong against Kris's hard work, but I'd love to see some of the other hand-drawn designs done up in that software for a fair comparision.
0toinsanein5.4sec 07-28-2003, 10:50 PM that is a good point, but even hand drawn this is definatly up there for my favorite concepts.
ok i did some photoshoping and tried to make it look pencil drawn, somewhat atleast. Click (http://members.cox.net/gerbilcars/KHconceptpencil.jpg)
toegead93 07-29-2003, 09:54 PM The computer is just another tool for showing the design. I'm sure he had plenty of sketches before and during the rendering process. But you know, these days you have to keep pace with technology or draw really well. Some sketches are too loose to get a good, clean idea of all the lines a car has. A computer rendering can show exactly how its going to look with real lighting conditions.
Meccadeth 07-30-2003, 01:16 AM I think a lot more conceptoul artists should be using this fawking software then...it would help them articulate exactly what their trying to do instead of leaving blurred lines...And no, its not "just the software" that made this concept a jaw-dropper to me. If that were an actual car, I would have bought it by now. Too bad auto manufacturers can't make anything that sweet though...

This is professional type software, I remember it running something like at least $1000 a copy. Someone that knows better can correct me.
You got the spare dough around to buy a copy for each person that likes to doodle car concepts every so often, and train them to use this software?
SNEAKY NEIL 07-30-2003, 04:07 PM I know "Rhino" is a good piece of software that is often used for automobile rendering. If anyone gets "Car Styling" magazine, they have kind of a tutorial for this software for rendering a car. Guess which car they used......................CTS.

Just as a guess, I would think it would be much higher. Even Photoshop is over $600. Plus you'd probably need a workstation to run it.
Meccadeth 07-30-2003, 04:58 PM I checked the price of it a while ago, I can't remember the name of it, its something like XTS or something, but on their website, they advertised it at $1,400 or something close to that. I tried to download it on Kazaa to no avail...

SoftImage XSI.
toegead93 08-09-2003, 10:43 AM There's always Kazaa. Not that I would do that though;)
I use similar software for architectural renderings. It's pretty amazing how realistic you can make things look. From wood grains to glass reflections. This type of software is where it's at for any reputable design firm.
