we find out once again a honda can transform into any car or anything. >=)

 

i dont like body kits...never have, give me a set of Volk wheels and im set!!

 

My thoughts exactly, but much credit to the shop that did that ****ing gorgeous body work.

 

What an F'n waste of time...Hey DriftRunSir, what do you think the odds of symetry are for this monstrosity? The only right way to do this type of thing with any type of quality and symetry is with clay...refine (the most important)...refine some more...scan...fix data...mill tool. The thing missing from most of these bodykit companies is REFINEMENT (and taste in some cases;-)). I hope at ArtCenter you don't hack away at foam in order to have a nice, refined and symetrical part. Trust me...at ACCD, work in clay. Understand and feel what the form is doing. Don't get caught up in Alias too much as it will hinder good design. And if you become a wiz at Alias, mill the form out in clay and then refine. Just my $.02

 

Of course i don't use core foam to make refined pieces i only use it for a scale model. Full 1:1 scale vehicle we use core foam for the basic design then clay on top to refine. Make a glass mold ontop of the clay and make the fiberglass replica off the mold. its pretty much what this guy did from the pictures it looks like he glassed on top of the foam then bondo'd than made a mold off of it... We don't use mill in our school we only have 1 and its only available to the seniors.

Veilside and RE Amemiya use the right process of using core foam for basic design, clay for refinement then pulling a mold off it.


I don't use Alias or not yet and I don't plan to use it much...my instructor believes in design with your hands and using pen and paper for it. The least we depend on the computer to do our work the better we get.

 

JohnnyChimpo: What year did you graduate? I'm only a sophmore at Art Center...first semester of soph year. Do you have any work I can check out? and who were your teachers?

 

Sweet Jesus!

 

I graduated winter of 2001...teachers...hmmm....in reverse order...Dave Marek, Dave Hackett, Jay Min, Mark Sternberger, Blair (?), Norm Schureman, Steve Montgomery, Steve Winters, Ian Cartabiano, Richard Pietruska, Mark Goerner, Scott Robertson(night classes) and others of course. I had been working on a website for my work (it all seems old and very bad to me now), and it's a work in progress, but I can't think of the exact address at the moment (i'm at work ). I'll edit this post later and put the address in. It doesn't have much on it other than old schoolwork though. It's weird, you learn much more in the real world after you graduate...I know I did.

Ok, here is the link...

Like I said, it's a work in progress...There is also this link which is just a templated .mac thing with some of my old work...

sweet, OK, damn you graduated when I just started going to PCC let me know when you've got that portfolio up i'd like to check it out.

 

Pretty sweet. I would have spent the money on go, rather than show, but it's still impressive work.

 

I also think it's gay.
Work itself is amazing but otherwise it's a waste of time, money and the final product still doesn't look like a real F50, it looks like a fix-up-wrecked-F50, like something's wrong, missing...
