Ever wanted to explore beyond (or well, behind) the 3rd dimension? Ever wanted a place to express your creativity and show off your designs outside Automation? yeah me too

I’ve been toying around with the idea for the better part of the year and I thought I’d take some time to reflect and show off in the thread.
from humble beginnings…
… to flat but more presentable (if a bit overdesigned) renders
… to less complex, more understandable and easier on the eye sketches…
… and finally to my latest surface study.
My findings:
- look at other sketches for inspiration and surface treatment (BMW and Audi are my personal favourites)
- practice! it takes time
- start with learning your program first; jumping straight into cars after using Photoshop only for photo manipulation before and not learning the ins and outs of its matting and brush settings
- test your skills every month or so by rendering an irl shot
- don’t be afraid to add a bit color! this is only really prominent in my last render, but you can clearly see adding a bit of skybox reflections makes the image instantly more life-like

This can be an interesting thread indeed.
The Clarin sketch is easily your best work yet, truly professional quality. Could it be a 2024 or 2025 model?
The concept art for your builds is actually very representative of the final product.
