Seat L3on2049 - Clay Model photos

Here are some previously unpublished photos of the clay model of my project developet at Seat Design Centre in Barcelona.

Phase 1: unfortunately there are no photos of the inicial phase of clay modelling. A basic 3D model was developed and milled on the clay.

Phase 2: after milling was finished, it was evident that it needed work, so I started making changes on the right side of the model, leaving the left side with its original shape.

Phase 3: after all changes were made, the shutlines were defined and we took the model to the paintshop for primer.

Phase 4: matte paint was chosen to simulate aerodynamic micro recesses (like a golf ball) and to give the car a more "product design" feel.

Hi
I'm interested in your profile.

Hi!
None of the above ;)
dinoc was actually used during modelling to test how reflections were working -- you can see in the 2nd image, top-left, there is dinoc film applied on the rear bulges of the car.
The painiting took place in the Centre's paintshop. It was finished with matte varnish.
Hope it helped. :)
