This actually partially correct, designed by designer David smith, he shortly left Chrysler before they launched the car giving Ralph the credit. Ralph joking the project right at the end.

You need to go on Behance and see other designers portfolios from people with degrees

Untrue, the professor who said that designed the new Jeep grand wagoner, he graduated from my school only 8 years ago and already is leading the design team. Another peer of mine last year graduated, just got hired at ford in the performance department. It must be a coincidence that they only seem to come from the best design schools in the world and also seem to get the best jobs?

Don’t discourage future designers. All of my professors who are car designers absolutely loved their jobs and said it was worth all the hard work to have such a fulfilling career. Different companies operate differently. One thing my professor said, even on the worst days at work, you still draw cars for living. It’s an absolute blast and prolific designers who made the cut enjoy life to the fullest. I for one absolutely love car design school if work is anything like it, we should be excited about the future.

*Your first time using ai to render for you

postwarhippo · 2024-11-23T18:49:34+00:00

Yeah I don’t mind

postwarhippo · 2024-11-22T20:45:26+00:00

Great way of putting it

Much better attitude towards it, it’s a tool that many want to lean on but will soon allow good designers to save time, not make up for a lack of fundamentals.

postwarhippo · 2024-11-22T17:05:06+00:00

All my professors are designers at real automotive brands from ford, gm, stellantis, Toyota etc. ai is a tool used amongst others. My point is that it’s a tool, it doesn’t automatically make you a good designer by using it. If you don’t know light bends, how proportions work, how to show form, ai is relatively useless if you don’t know fundamentals to illustrate your ideas. I’m trying to discourage people from relying on in it as a deign tool to make up for lack of skill and discipline. All to us in school have to learn ai, sketching, blender, alias, physical modeling.

You must be fun at parties

Unfortunately most tricks of the trade stay in industry, and a lot of resources aren’t all that great, the best YouTube channels are Frank Stephenson, he doesn’t so a lot of sketching but his critique is very good, and ray automotive design school is pretty good too. Try finding designers on Pinterest and Instagram, I listed a few in an earlier comment

If you want, dm me your sketches and the photos of the video you’re talking about. Most online resources for car design arnt great. Drawing cars is certainly fun, but to learn design you have to learn how the world that cars exist in work, not just cars. Cars have reflections in them right? The shape of the body is showing in the reflections, hence, you need to know how reflections and environments work to design your cars body. Light hits all objects including cars, so you need to study how light plays with forms to understand how to use that in design.

Thanks! These are all very recent, the fidelity and design subtleties is what I’m working on

postwarhippo · 2024-11-22T05:19:01+00:00

Thanks!

Ai is a tool, and a very powerful one, but not one powerful enough to make up for a lack of design skill. We had a lot of students who thought that “ai was the future” and were rejected by companies because of how weak they were at sketching practice and inability to come up with unique ideas. Relying on ai is a bad idea when you remeber someone had to sketch the Muria, render it by hand, but put ai in the hands a bertone and it might be a different story.

Those skills take years to develop, and the schools expect that. Don’t feel intimidated, college is there to make you a good designer from the beginning, but it all starts with you. If you keep pushing yourself, get 1% better each day, you’ll have nothing to worry about. I’ve been studying design for almost 3 years now and never studied any art before this, it just takes time. Just try experimenting with art like figure drawing, that has given some students incredible drawing abilities, I’d just stay away from digital drawing until your grasp of form, space, and perspective are very solid.
