Ex: Fundamentals of Vehicle Design

INSTRUCTIONS


PROGRESS WORK

For this assignment, we were asked to sketch out fundamentals of vehicle designing. The purpose of this was to understand the basic principles of vehicle, through a series of experiments before developing vehicle concepts. We drew 3D sketches of real objects to understand volume and structure, deconstructed existing vehicles to understand shapes and proportions, created silhouette and value studies to identify vehicle forms, also added perspective studies and line weight to strengthen our understanding. Followed by texture tests and color tests to understand how it affects the identity, mood and visual appeal of the vehicle.

This is the final compilation: Link to Drive

REFLECTION

This exercise was the first experience in understanding the vehicle design. It really helped me practice fundamentals and to understand how vehicles are designed and analyse vehicle structure. However, it was really difficult and overwhelming in the start but as the weeks passed, multiple sketches and regular feedbacks made me more confident in observing the vehicle structure.

Sketching the 3D objects helped me think about forms and structures in different angles, deconstruction of the existing vehicles taught me how vehicles are practically built using simple shapes and proportions, the silhouette and value studies improved my ability of vehicle designs, while the perspective studies helped me draw vehicles more accurately. Additionally, the texture studies helped me understand how to represent different materials realistically and the color tests showed me how color can influence the mood, identity and functionality of a vehicle. Weekly feedbacks helped me a lot to achieve this, along with also understanding the purpose behind the process. Overall, this project was really helpful to practice and experiment on different observations. It gave me a better understanding of the vehicle design process and made me more confident with the next projects.

We had to sculpt a skull to start off and later proceeded with a rough body mesh of the character, the detailed mesh of the character and the final character with outfit/props. Drive Link for Additional Information :  Link This is the pdf compilation of all the 3 boards, rough character mesh, detailed mesh and final character. Followed by the turntable video of the final character. REFLECTION This development stage was similar to another module i took in this semester which was Game Art but the sculpture of the character is very different in both the as i really had difficulty in processing the character in 3D. It taught me about creativity and storytelling but it was the most stres...
