car design thread

Vizcom just added a new feature that allows you to use a reference image. It will use information from the reference image while creating a rendering from your sketch (or image or model). This should enhance Vizcom's ability to make renderings look more like the creator's own style (or more accurately steal someone else's )

 

I wonder what prompted the last foot of each iteration to add the small step upwards in the chrome side trim?

Gravity Sketch allows you to “sketch” in 3D space and “walk around it” using VR. You can also then create sub d surfaces. For example, you can do a 3D interior sketch and then add surfacing all while you are sitting in the drivers seat.

It’s unbelievable.

@petrolhead.ai is doing it now. All of his “work” is 100% AI copying the style of Syd Mead.

Lol it’s cool and depressing at the same time.

I thought so too but it is very easy to pick up.

 

You left out the Prismacolors

 

Welp, there goes today's yard productivity. Rain is suppose to hit in 20 minutes. Need to run out and pick up everything electrical.

Only because it's reading this thead...

 

Sorry; in my haste, I didn't realize which thread I posted that in. As it turns out, when the green blob crossed overhead, there was no rain being dropped to the ground. Grrr.

 

I am noticing in this AI work what I sense as a tendency to repackage other solutions. In this I see a roofline that does a peak to the windshield header, an idiom found on some other cars that I am not fond of. The DLO could just as easily be an Evora.

 

Can AI "put lipstick on a pig?"

Ran across this vehicle that was lacking in so many ways:

Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Hoping to check out Vizcom in the near future.

 

Yeah, it's a repackage of other solutions. AI is good way to get started. Not the best tool to finalize.

 

Would it be fair to say that its tendency is to repackage using the current hot idioms? If so, then that is where I see the flaw as one should be designing as 5 years forward. Harry Bradley used to say something along the lines of GM Design looking into the future while the Chrysler management were making their decisions by coveting the current model Deuce and a Quarter in his neighbor's driveway.

What I am detecting in the posted AI version here is that it is making the 3D shape and dealing with real surface transitions that a sketch is able to cheat. Is that part of the AI or is it just because of who is working these efforts?
