When I was a child, my school notebooks were often littered with drawings and doodles of many things, but mostly fantasy cars. I often sketched my favorite cars (Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari 288 GTO, McLaren M6, Lotus Esprit S2, etc.) in amongst my notes and between the lines of my homework. How entertaining that must have been for my teachers!
I also liked to create original designs that would reflect the most signature details from each of these models. I dreamed of making these cars come to life, but, alas, turning fantasy into reality is an expensive venture that is not usually afforded by such an indebted father and husband as I have come to be.
And that's exactly why l love ViaCAD. ViaCAD, to a great extent, now gives me the ability to give my ideas a splash of virtual reality and at least bring them to life in a way I never could before.
The following images are just such a "doodle" that I have been able to bring to life, thanks to the capabilities of ViaCAD. This particular model is one that is mostly experimental, as well as educational. I had been trying to produce an exact model of an existing car, but put it on temporary hold due to the frustrations of not getting it completed to the level of satisfaction I desired. I began scratching this car out, free form style, and then began experimenting with different modeling techniques and along the way learning more about the functionality and capabilities of ViaCAD as I never have before.
This model was completed in just the base version of ViaCAD V7 2D/3D and is not rendered.
Enjoy! I would appreciate your comments please.
