Hey guys, I had an idea for a 8 second futuristic establishing shot and needed some hover vehicles. My line of thinking was that early prototypes of hover technology would be used mainly for military applications, possible mass transit and luxury vehicles. So I pulled a bunch of images of Lamborghini’s and Bugatti Veyron’s and mashed them all together into what is represented. Currently I’m pretty happy with the end result.
I was having some creative complications in trying to resolve the back end section since the speeder would need thrusters instead of a regular aerodynamic bumper.
The rear thrusters are supposed to be air flow based. The lower ones I was thinking would be either sonic or resonate magnets. My theory behind it is to use the earths natural magnetic lines as highways. So the lower sonic/resonate magnets give you lift while the rear thrusters give you momentum. The sonics are dolphin friendly of course.
Here I’ve added the 3d model to a matte painting that I did a couple weeks ago for the shot. Ultimately I’ll have other air traffic and some cg hero grass to add photo realism.
Thanks. I only positioned it where it is currently to make sure the foreground grass was overlapping correctly. Ultimately this will be animated with the speeder swooping over the hills heading toward the city. Thanks for the feedback though.
