You just come here and type that you received a phone call, where you got offered a Porsche... it looks SO easy when seeing this thread. Bet there is a lot of hidden work indeed.
Wow! this is just amazing. That would be like a dream come true for me! Really nice design, keep up good working
Edit: would be interesting to know that which perspective you start to design those cars? do you start from the side of the car, or does it depends? or have you got somekind of vision about the hole car already when you start to doing those things?
I start from all sides, open several pictures at once and think for the whole car, flat templates very often can't communicate the finer curves and details.
starting with the Porsche is starting to see some martini influence with it, should have something to show you all tomorrow!
almost never, getting a good 3d mesh for the car your want exactly hardly happens, plus it is all down to final adjustment on the real car, 3d isnt going to help much. But Sometimes i use forza for quick visualization.
Yes it is pretty pointless to wait 5 minutes for a render which look just as good as a photomode shot from Forza, Forza's lineup of current GT cars are pretty good as well.
