Hi,
i finished my work on the brose showcar- a very interesting project, maybe you like to know more about it. Here`s a short faq:
Why i?
normally i`m a technical draftsman for brose, doing CAD work for your customers (but soon industrial design student). My boss knows about my 3D hobby- and a few months ago, your marketing department searches for somebody who is familiar with 3D programs, to build a 3D car. My boss said “yes, i know somebody” and the project starts…
brose?
automotive supplier, headquarters Coburg (Bavaria, Germany), 2006 turnover of about 2.3 billion euros, about 9,100 employees worldwide. http://www.brose.de/ww/en/pub/home.htm
don`t know the car design?
yes, the car design includes design aspects from (almost) every brose customer- basically BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Volvo. In former times we had an Audi 8 (Photo) as Showcar but we produce not only for this customer- so we needed a universal showcar. Proportion model was a mercedes S-class.
production time?
i got 4 days to work on it (speed modeling 
)- and some hours for rendering and carbody modifications. There was time pressure because of an exhibition.
3D data?
500.000 Polygons, Poly by Poly Modeling, The final render took 3 hours (4500 x 2100 px), rendered with the internal renderer.
conclusion: i had much fun with is project. If you want, you can see it at the IAA Motor Show at Frankfurt (the printed version ). Just look for the brose booth.
