Exterior and interior design for three seater electric sport car (coupe body type) diploma thesis.
I fitted driver right on the center of the car. So here he has better dimensions feeling. Cars with a composition like this has a best weight distribution. Moreover, the driver's position is in the most safety place of the car. This car is for fun and not for big trips so I placed rear passengers at a slight angle to the direction of motion. All the lights are placed behind the plastic body. So, they are not visible when off. Electric motors allowed me to choose big and narrow wheels; And to lower the hood.
First render:
After adding some design changes while modeling:
3D printed wheels
Modeling process:
Printed wheels and it's painting process:
Clay model
Everything in this model (except wheels printing) i created by myself, including full painting process!
A lot of elements was corrected while modeling
Primer and putty:
Sanding, sanding, sanding...
It is most laborious part of all the work:
Few more layers of a spray putty (beige color) and some regular putty (white) for a big irregularities to make all the surfaces smooth:
After 6 layers of an aerosol spray painting:
After polishing:
After painting a splitter and a glass:
That black color turned not enough realistic and caused too sharp contrast with a body color. So I decided to change it's color to dark gray
According to my idea, I tried to find a non-metallic paint, but I could not:( So I had to use metallic paint.
Though after quality polishing i love a result!
Final result after mounting, fitting wheels and adding details:
For imitating disc brakes i used metal discs of HDD drives:
A joint between body and glass and a joint of safety device.
To make joints more realistic, I used dark red with a gray hue instead of black.
It was made using acryl paint, small brush and thin vinyl tape:
Thank you!
