The Original - 1955 BMW Isetta 300

I started off modeling the original BMW Isetta from a blueprint and photographic reference, and once I completed the vehicle I reworked the shape and proportions to make a stylized or caricature version of it.

I was influenced by the designs of drag racers - exposed engine, custom body work and

different size tires.

Using Substance Painter for the first time - really cool powerful package.

Modeled in Softimage and 3DS Max, rendering using VRay.

Textures created in Substance Painter, and composite done in Adobe Photoshop.

Exploring a Design Style

These illustrations are inspired by classic poster art.

I based my designs off some photographs my wife took.

Eventually found some audio to put to the visuals.

This has been an exercise to produce a complete 3D animated project - from concept to final composite. The emphasis has been on an animated sequence rather than a fleshed out storyline.

TAG - A Short Animated Sequence

These are a few style frames for a short animation I'm working on titled TAG.

The vehicles are stylised 1955 BMW Isetta 300s and they are involved in a typical chase scene... or are they?

The final animation will hopefully be featured before the end of this year.

A brief history of the Isetta:

"The Isetta is an Italian designed microcar built under licence in a number of different countries, including Spain, Belgium, France, Brazil, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Because of its egg shape and bubble-like windows, it became know as a bubble car, a name later given to other similar vehicles.

The BMW Isetta was in 1955 the world's first mass-produced 3-Litres/100km car. It was the top selling single cylinder car in the world, with 161 728 units sold."

"Making of" Article

I'm very excited about being asked to put together a "Making Of" article for the 3dtotal website. This was for the 1964 Peugeot 404 model I submitted to their gallery.

This is my latest model I've done. All modeling, lighting and rendering was done in Softimage. I created the textures in Photoshop
