Transportation design final presentation

Can't believe how fast the semester has gone by.

I still remember how people were excited about designing "real-ish" cars and looking forward for the new semester to begin. Then we started out with crazy amount of work and minimum amount of sleep, which was tiring but still manageable.

As semester move on, it seems everyone was losing the momentum, works from all classes were piling on top of us.
Then we got to the clay modeling, which is extremely time consuming but cool process. It's almost addictive if you get into doing it. Sculpting the form and see your drawing come to life, it was a great experience for me.

Many thanks to Prof. Cliff Ghetti and our fellow classmates, it's been a challenging semester and it was great to have your talent and support along this journey.

here are some of the presentations and models

Transportation Design Clay Model

We started to carve out clay model!!!

so exciting :)

The model we are making are 1/5 scale half model, mirror will be placed in the center to show the other side

on the other side will be the interior of the vehicle, will also be mirrored.

putting clay on to the car base on sections
and use section to make sure people and component can fit in the car

Tim demo on how to sharpen tools

Carving!!

First time all the trans undergrad working together in the studio~XDD

will's model

rob's model

my model :)

making of wire model

this is a time lapse video of the making of wire model of my vehicle design

doing wire model is like drawing in three dimensional space

you can fine tune and tweak the the form due to the nature of the wire

however it is an extremely time consuming process...

the real world time for this video is from 9pm to 6am...so about nine hours...

but its not done yet!!?

 I'm going back to studio later today after sun comes up....Orz

side view

so don't have to worry about perspective...XD

the proportion of the front and back are too similar though...looks kinda dumb...

o...well

btw....this thing is gonna turn like the tron light cycle, cause you can't really turn the front wheel...=w=|||

vehicle

25 min

this is the vehicle I'm working on in my transportation class this semester

oooops...one wheel is missing....Orz

I will try to develop this sketch next time, 

see how I can make it better within a limited amount of time

sketch of the day 01

vehicle

20 min

just trying to push my self to practice some  sketching on tablet

and try to time my self so i can work faster

still pretty bad at it though....

the perspective in this one is pretty screw up...

it seems lopsided ...Orz

its easier for me to see the problem of my work once i put it up here

thats interesting....so please bare with me..XDDD

who ever want to do some quick sketches can also post it up here

it can be pencil, marker, water color, digital....anything~~~

have fun~

Inspiration of the day 38

this set is design by a Pratt student graduated last year, he is awesome~!!

Vehicle concepts

哈哈哈哈囉~~~

今天想請大家幫幫忙~

以下五輛是我畫的vehicle concepts

這個project的目標是嘗試一些會觸發新的行為的新事物

我現在的問題是不知道這些vehicle能有哪些unique function

例如一些該做但是沒人做的事

或者他們的樣子看起來能夠做什麼, 例如它的手臂可以挖土..(怪手) 過者長得像耳朵的東西可以當信號接收器之類的

看看下面這些圖, 有沒有讓你想到什麼呢??

留言時可以用1號車2號車來稱呼, 感激不盡~~~~~
