BMW 2002

With a tiny garage and severely limited free time, good sense has been abandoned and the BMW project has begun.  Having survived a 1300 mile road trip to Denver, a 1974 BMW 2002 waits in the garage for tinkering.  As you might imagine, I believe that design moves are better illuminated through illustration.  These images are the product of months of tweaking, innumerable wheel and color options, and an incredibly enlightening bout of interior modeling.  Automotive modeling is a different world from architecture.

The result is what the car will become over the course of the next few years.  Let the fun begin.

    I had just watched 30 Days of Night and it occured to me that I hadn't experimented much with snow. The movie is dark and ominous and, let's be honest, sometimes it's nice to explore outside the boundaries of blue sky, happy people graphics. Something bad is waiting for our shadow man. This is just a Photoshop composite (I didn't feel like modeling everything), but I picked up a few handy snow methods that have since been put to use on billable work. Thanks Josh Hartnett.

  • Character Study
    Experimental · 0 comments
    This is my first character study and the project I essentially used to teach myself Vray. Having never modeled anything like this before, there were some interesting problems to solve, but I learned a ton about lighting, materials, and general render settings and execution. I was still working at an office during this exercise, so this guy involved a lot of late nights. Why I chose a mech warrior, I'm not sure, but I'd had it rattling around in my brain for awhile. Aside from teaching me some invaluable lessons about software, he's a fun little side project to have around.

  • Barn BMW

    Playing around with atmosphere and lighting. I think the dusty feel of the barn is successful and I also figured out a new method of object lighting via the headlights of the car. The car is a 1972 BMW 2002 tii, high on my list of future project cars.
