Hello community,

here I want to share the updated version of my concept car. The complete design, modeling and visualization process was done in CATIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform using our CATIA Design Applications. I started with Human Design to have a human reference in my 3DSpace. Then I started sketching around the human using Natural Sketch to quickly explore different design ideas. Already at this point i used Virtual Reality with the direct connection of CATIA to the HTC VIVE HMD to explore the proportions of my sketch. Then I started to model the exterior with Subdivision Surface Modeling in CATIA Imagine and Shape. For the Interior modeling I used a combination of Imagine&Shape and CATIA ICEM. For some details, like the headlights, I used hybrid modeling of Imagine&Shape and Generative Shape Design. All the pattern on the grill, the hood, the roof and for the speakers in the interior were created with the new xGenerative Design Application. Already at an early stage, after generating first shapes I started to apply materials and lighting to my scene in CATIA Live Rendering. Like this I can continue to model with the feedback of the textures to have a good understanding of the final look from an early stage on, all along the design process. The possibility to do VR reviews at any time and stage of the process was a tremendous help to evaluate and improve the proportions of the concept car. In the Video you will see the the final design presentation with the Product Perception Experience App. 

I hope you will like it, 

Felix
