Yeah I'll post a step-by-step on car rendering later. I'm not an auto designer by any means, I just do it for enjoyment when I some free time.

 

alright man. sounds good. hey i have a sketch saved into my computer at work. ill pm you!

 

hey dude this was the quick sketch i did couple days back...

 

sick sketch!... what made you think that you needed help on anything?

 

thanks! i want to learn how to render like you do in cs3!

 

Wow, just out of curiosity, how many trans design majors are there in here?

 

so far none... we're just wannabes...

here i did another one just now in Magnetic Black... (note the 06+ tailights, wheels, and shaved emblems )

 

im not a wannabe i actually took some classes at art center and im going to start school there in the fall for the trans program.

Dkorr you are not a wanna be either man, your work kicks ***!

do you have AIM or something? Im envious of your photoshop skills right now...

 

Not a bad rendering for a wannabe.

 

My younger cousin that lives with me is a tran design major at Art Center as well. Top of his class in 7th term.

 

thats awesome man, you live in pasadena as well? maybe you can introduce me to your cousin i love seeing good work.

 

Yup, I live is Pas. You'll be able to see his work at the end of the year if you go to the gala that they have for all the graduating class.

 

from the horror stories i heard... i bet your cousin lives at school and never gets sleep right? trans guys get it the worst there...

 

He sleeps about 24 hours every 36-48 hours. He practically lives at school. Competition is fierce at Art Center, if you have no inspiration, don't bother even trying and save yourself the cash from tuition. Luckily being related to me helps him out a lot. I was able to get his Toyota portfolio to Toyota USA and Calty Design Research. I'm going to have Troy Sumitomo at Five Axis look at his work as well for constructive criticism.

 

Thanks!!! Trans Design at Art Center is best in the world, taking in only cream of the crop designers. Too bad I didn't get accepted. In practice, I design medical stuff, not cars. But I just do it to blow off steam...

I'll PM on my contact info.

 

+1, i would love to see a real trans-designer's work. i'm going to be moving down to San Diego soon. maybe i'll make a trip up to Pasadena. Wonder if he can give us a tour.

 

The best time to visit is to come at the end of the term when the graduating class puts out all their best projects for the gala. Its really dope, not just the trans department. Product design, animation, etc, its all very impressive.

 

i am glad i know you too now HAHA

 

i went to two gallerys before and yeah its freeking awesome. my favorite is of course trans. trans and product usually get the most attention at the shows, after all those 2 majors are the best and most competitive.

 

hey man, sometimes it takes a few tries to get accepted. my teacher last quarter got rejected 3 times before getting in and now hes one of the most reputable teachers at art center.

ill be waiting for you PM
