I think vertically stretching the grille area slightly and losing some of the hood droop would do wonders. Not flat nosed, just a little stretching and tweaking. I putzed with it a little in photoshop, but Ive nowhere to upload it...

 

Its cool, but when I see the new Camaro I want to see something new. Not a two door version of something we've been looking at for two years now. Maybe Im just too picky.

 

Can't...not...reply....

I would love to do a 3D rendering of the next Camaro, ever since these 2D drawings have been popping up on this board I have been itching to do it. I'm really busy these days working on SEMA projects and other cool stuff, but if there is enough support for me to do up a 3D model based on all the facts and drawings out there, I would definitely make time for it. I figure PHR might pick up on it as well.

I wouldn't feel right saying my time is worth more than any 2D artist's, so I won't name a price. Maybe donations would be a way to go. Just spent $5000 on new software and supplies, so any fundage is nice. Maybe the fine folks running CZ28.com could hook me up with a banner ad or something. Whatever the case, I'd like to make it known that I'm totally interested! If anyone wants to talk to me about this project, shoot me an e-mail, kris@carsbykris.com.

No one is saying anything about whos better than who. You just have a real talent for making cars come to life with your 3-d peices. Now we have a great idea of what the next Camaro might look like in cartoon form, the next logical step would be to make it look as real as possible. You have the resources and ability to make it happen. If your serious about it, I'll do my part to help out with the fund. That is one expensive peice of software!

 

I'd say as soon as we "refine" the design....gotta' have a deadline (to make it happen)....then I'd be more than happy to donate to the "cause".

Kris, IF we could raise a few hundred dollars.....would that cover enough of your time to do this?

Doesn't seem like it would be that hard to raise that small amount of $$.....between CamaroZ28.com and the guys (alot of the same) at Cheers & Gears.com.....or am I dreaming?

 

Doug,

I think as far as deadlines go, if we want to get it in a magazine, we'd need it by the end of the month, if we want to be very thorough, it may take longer. I will try my hardest to meet any deadline that's set. I'd need one or two days to flesh out the body and another couple of days to fine tune all the details, etc. It all really depends on how many changes it will go through before we can step back from it and say "That's as close as it's gonna get for now."


Once some details are made known as to the rear of the car, a 360 degree spin animation could be done. As I mentioned in my last post, shoot me an e-mail and we can discuss it more. If I am going to do this, I'd probably need to have a contact to keep an active critique for it, like what evok and crispey are doing over on C&G.com. Just some thoughts...

The thing I really don't like about the concept at helixstudio.com is that the top of the front end looks too low. I want a fresh, new Camaro, not a rehash of twenty-year-old fourth gen designs.

 

OK guys, I did some modifying to this picture, but I need to know where to upload it so it will work and be able to be seen in full. I like the way it came out and I think you all will too.

 

That's the first SS based rendering that I like

 

That's cool! It looks like it came out of Voltron!

 

if you want me to host it for you, let me know. i could hook you up with some space on my server to upload the pics to via ftp. if thats too complicated, just email them to me and i'll host them for ya djhafownz@cofs.net

 

Ditto! I have room and can post it up as soon as you can e-mail it to me.

 

Is there a site I can put it on myself (a good site, where it will stay sharp and be able to see in full view) so I don't have to go tou you guys everytime LOL?? If not I will e-mail it.

 

There used to be... but I gave up using those long ago when I found out my ISP gave me tons of sever space on my account... and I am able to remote link photos.

 

Post it at C&G and get some feedback.
