FXWARS! Flying Car, DanFX, FREEFORM


#1

I’m in…

Originally I was going to design a concept car of the future, put engines on it, and have it fly, but someone through me the idea of having a Volkswagen Beetle sprout wings like a bug and fly away. I enjoyed the idea so much that I decided I had to do it.

I’ve done car models in the past. They can be time consuming, but they tend to be alot of fun to build and texture.

I’m still not sure on a few of the details yet :

Do I want the winds to be mechanical or organic?
Do I want it to be a small scale (takes place on a leaf in a flower garden) or full scale like a normal car?
Tinted windows, or attempt to composite a live action person into the shot, or just an empty interior?

A few things to work out before its all complete, but this project ought to be fun…

An update. I’ve been a bit busy, So I’m not quite as far along as I had hoped, but here’s what I’ve got thus far.

The exterior of the car is basically finished, I need to to the inside of the wheels, and a basic interior yet, and the side windows.

I’m currently using a downloaded HDRI, but I’ll make my own reflection image for the final shot.
