Chazcron C8 GIF Work In Progress

[John]

As Chazcron has noted this is a "work in progress." Stay tuned for this as it evolves thanks to his 3D skills.

Here’s a screen shot of it:

I bit the bullet and subscribed to my old Animation:Master 3D modeling program. I've started the arduous task of rotoscoping my splines over the spy shots. I'm going with my gut on the scoop shape. It may be way off, but I like it. Be prepared, when I render with my own modeled wheels, I'll be using the ones I made for the '15 Mustang for now.



Here is overlaid with an image, first with the wireframe, then without.

[John]

Chazcron, you are an amazing talent. I love what you are doing. Take all the artistic license you wish, for other than GM, none of us definitively know what the scoop is going to look like. What you have is really good looking!

Thank you very much!

I look forward to your work in progress continuing.

[Shadow]

Really nice work Chazcron. Ditto above, that I am also looking forward to your further working on it.

I really like the scoop!

[fvs]

looking forward to seeing your progress!

[Buzz]

You and fvs have a talent that none of the rest of us can even imagine; I love what you both are doing and I t hink y ou both should be working for GM..don't let all that talent go to waste!

Cannot wait to see the finished product Chazcron!

Looks great but just one tiny thing on the 1/4 rear side window. Look at this picture and see what I mean.

[John]

Thank you MikeC8. I give you kudos for reminding all of us, and the renderers, about the mini-window’s shape. Bet your see it perfectly accurate in a future rendering.

Thanks Mike.

Here’s another picture of the rear 1/4 window. Just a slight more curve on the top of the window towards the back. Tiny but makes a difference. Fvs has it dead on imo. Ok enough it’s just my nature I guess. Sorry John I didn’t see your reply before I posted this second picture.

[Chazcron]

Yeah, Mike. I've only roughed it in so far, I was planning on using the C8.R as reference (along with the scoop again)

[John]

Yes! More progress by Chazcron.

I spent the whole evening reworking the scoop. It is not all there yet, I have new reference on the depth. Maybe tomorrow, but here are two rendered angles.

It looks nice but has more of a Tesla / sporty electric car vibe than a corvette vibe, IMO. It just doesn’t say corvette to me yet. I understand many look at this and see a corvette, but I just don’t get that vibe. Perhaps that was what GM was going for...

[John]

Thanks Chazcron for continuing to work on this massive project. I am enjoying watching it progress.

This is really rough, probably not worth posting, requires a lot of imagination and you'll probably all hate it, but this is the first stand-alone render, hacked with photoshop. Remember, this is a "WORK IN PROGRESS" thread. (And get used to these placeholder wheels.) Only the roof is new, the rest is just clumsily hinted and not scaled out yet.
