Some of our C7 model rendered out as wallpaper imagery for you:

I just posted the super-sized images, you'll have to down-res these to your computer desktop resolution. Hope you like them!

I saw Rick Conti's post that we have some details fairly close, and some not so close... but maybe these pictures will do until we get to see the real thing!

BTW the animation was a headline on Yahoo.com today! Thanks to all of you who forwarded and posted it to your friends. Please revisit the youtube movie link and click like (or if you must, dislike ) and leave an intelligent comment there

I some how like the Pic's better than the video. The rear end look's a bit better, but I think the real C7 will look better. ( If what I said seem's odd then it's becuase it's 2:45 AM and I can't think very well at 3AM. LOL)

Cool, Nissan did a really good job with the latest 370Z, nice.

I was thinking it was the new 599, my bad.

That thing is riding WAY too high for a vette

Thanks!

Mr. Lammers,

The C7 at Lookout Point, is that just a superimposition of the C7 on a real landscape or is the whole image computer generated?

george vee

Thanks for the post.

The C7 will be my 6th vette, my first was a used 67 that I bought in 72. I've had 1 of each generation since then so why should I stop now LOL

I like the way it looks and I am sure it will have a lot of the latest technology.

Yes it's my new screen saver

It's 100% CG. The environment is derived from an Evermotion 3D scene collection (with 9 other car environments). I say derived because the original is only set up for a single still shot from one angle and we had to adjust it to work for animation and render quickly.

Here's a link to the collection, we sell it on our Trinity3D.com site:

Mr Lammers,

Well done to you all on the animation!

Can you please explain to us all how you came to possess any of the CAD files used in the making of this animation?

Were these considered 'base' C7 or ZR1 images?

Are there any other C7 animations in the works, say as a convertible OR a C7R race car ?

Did anyone notice that there is a major mistake on this video and stills? If you look at the C7 emblem in these pics and then look at the Omega tool video/stills the emblem is much more like a "V" instead of flatter like the one shown here!

BlueOx

I wouldn't call it a mistake. I would call it all the information they had.

91redragtop

I am hoping and praying it's "DISINFORMATION"!!!!

wlutgen

These are great, thank you. I like that you used a metallic paint shader!

BlueOx

What is disinformational about using the C6 logo when we haven't seen the C7 logo yet? That is what Jalopnik used.

91redragtop

Even though it probably won't be, I hope that the whole Jalopnik/Omega tool/whoever else is showing them C7 pics is a big disinformation scam by GM to get us to look one direction and then hit us with an awesome car!!!

BlueOx

I have to say that in this more realistic light, this view looks very good to me. Far more curvy. I even like the tail lights...

John T

I don't know who tweaked that pic but it looks much better.

If you look at the latest crop of GM "concept" cars most are really understated , attractive, and very tastefully done. The jalop C7 doesn't quite fit with this trend but seems it wants to. Again I believe the 2 dimensional rendering can't do this design justice.

BlueOx

All I can say is that compared to this Z06 shot, the C7 rendering presents very well. The front fenders seem just as wide and of a similar shape. I really like the fender vent. The side and doors seem to have a deeper inset and are even more curvaceous than the Z. The rear is different (a bit more of a badazz glare) but not bad. I like the side marker lights a whole lot more than the C6's.

CRABBYJ

It does look a lot better but that door sure does look awfully thick. If you take the C6's base width of 72.6" and subtract the shoulder room of 55.2" that leaves you 17.4" Divide that by 2 makes it 8.7" thickness per door. The door rendering looks to be much thicker than that IMO. But it sure do look good. Even the wheel openings look like a wide body. Maybe it is a wide body version?
