Have to smooth out this model some...but anyway new render of old model!

Blending a lambo and fiero together...slowly but surely. should be in college next year...then i'll really pump out this crapola.

I"ve been playing around in 3-D as well for a school project:

nice i have to play with rhino 3d some. also have solidworks and zbrush and a few others. learning curve is a pita for me atm. once school starts then i should progress. i need a bumper pad model...sick of the new notchie

crap...deleted a model that was half done...well..forgot to back it up while doing a clean install...-sighs-

Another little preview of whats to come

Iphone or any other smart phone integration.

Soo...uhh.. Are you taking requests? I have a couple of MSPaint drawings I wouldn't mind seeing redone with some talent added to the mix...

I use sketchup to model & visual trade show displays... pretty simple compared to what you've done with that Fiero model. VERY impressive. Keep it up!

------------------

Looking for Fiero posters?

yeah i'll take suggestions etc, worse come to worse is I can't do em lol. I can't wait to get into college so I can really start doing real 3d modeling...the learning curve on maya etc are kinda high w/ 0 experience in that style of program.

I emailed you a couple MSPaint doodles. Hopefully you can do something with them.

*bumping this* hope to see more 3d concepts

especially the fluid dynamics. That looked promising.

Just some random ones I have on my photobucket. If you're interested in something particular, pm me and I'll upload the picture

do you use solid works for that? been looking for a cfd program...

Been trying to work on my portfolio with still life currently...once I'm in college i'll be banging these out more lol, and with better results =) inspiration is starting to tap out for the fiero head lights...i'll have to try my handy work on flares and such next.

Not to mention with a gf my priorities are slightly different now lol.

Thanks for the support guys =) If you sent any suggestions I may have lost them...due to reformating etc. If you would like to go ahead and re send them.

Yea, I'm curious about the vacuum created above the decklid, and the drag behind the trunk.
I'm curious how the spoiler affects aerodynamic efficiency. I understand airflow actually travels over it towards the front of the car. Does it join the vacuum behind the rear glass, or just create turbulent air?

I'd love to see airflow under the car and through/around the radiator.

Those simulations were done in Solidworks, yes.

There isn't a vacuum produced anywhere behind the car (just to be accurate) its just low pressure. There is quite a bit of turbulence behind the rear glass as well, you can kind of see it in one of the pictures. I believe that the stock spoiler won't make a difference at all. Its too low and just sits in turbulent air. Just for looks.

You can see some of the flow under the car in those side profile pictures. Looks like the velocity of the air is about equivelent to that of the car (in this simulation I think it was around 100km/h) In reality, around the rad and under the car you will probably see lower velocities and higher pressures. A nice flat bottom and proper diffusers could pull the air out faster and decrease the pressure.

I have to get my hand on a copy of solidworks...I need to do some flow testing on a blast nozzle design for my locomotive...
