Exactly. Worst case scenario, your uneducated guess is way off but lands you at job at GM for the design of the C9 Corvette Hovercraft.

IMO you're really close to spot on, I think your model's trim piece may not show off quite as much shape.

This was an excellent request, my friend. This image was also the genesis of my scoop shape. I was shocked as to how close the position is on the CAD's scoop position. Not everything lines up perfectly, but my coke bottle indent is pretty close, too, though my top rocker panel is in black so it is hard to see the transition. Don't ask me to model this chassis. Oy.

Admittedly, since only I possess the model, I am predisposed to align things closer to how I want them to be. But you have to admit, sh**'s tight. Look at that rear fender top!

I know one person who won't agree. But he is on my ignore list. Try not to quote his posts. I don't care to see them.


Oh and convertible photo suggestions should show the whole car, preferably with the interior view as minimal as possible. "Artful" usually photos work the best.

If the Ford GT’s hood was completely covered in camo it would look like what we are seeing with the C8. We just have to cut out the holes. Just my theory.

Supercars don't need frunks. High volume Corvettes do.

Definately,
I believe the leaked CAD from zerv proves there is a frunk,

For Elegant,

We've mostly seen the louvers low from the back, and it looks pretty straight, maybe a little curved at the edges. But from the side, there is definitely a curve to them. Here is a back shot showing they are mostly straight.

Too bad I’m a coupe guy...This is going to be one smoking hot convertible,reminds me so much of the 1968 -1973 corvettes.
Nice job Chazcron.

I don’t want to sound like an insecure ex girlfriend ...
but...does it seem more special when you uncover this next corvette ,in comparison to the mustang and Camaro that you did?
Or is it business as usual to you?
Thanks.

How could a car with its portly profile and whale shark mouth not have a frunk? What else could be in that void?

Thank you for that explanation Chazcron. I now understand the issue of differing perspective.

It is not business as usual in this case. For some reason I’m much more invested in this one. I do have a closer connection to the Mustang, as i have been enamored with it all my life. My grandfather, my dad and uncle sold them, it was the first car I drove. But this one, it’s so polarizing. A complete paradigm shift in the styling. Having lived with it for three months now, I actually love this design.

Additionally, I used it as a jumping off point to learn an entirely new modeling program. And that’s huge. And the renders are so easy and so realistic. The delay in the reveal gives me an opportunity to really explore the car and a captive audience who mostly seem to appreciate it.

Oh yes. I log in regularly looking for your latest render. I appreciate your work.

That being said, I really need to check the depth of my curve Against that side shot.. I suspect I’ve got too much curve already.

Hey fellers, you are forbidden to quote me in your responses to Chaz's posts. I live rent free inside his confused head. Since our friend has no understanding of the dynamics of a car, he places inner ducting mounts on the outer surface of the 1/4 panel because he doesn't understand CAD files. Don't let pretty pictures fool you. Do you understand what he is doing in this video? I see right through this phony? He leads you down his own garden path.

In other words, go away. Why the double standard? "I know one person who won't agree. But he is on my ignore list. Try not to quote his posts. I don't care to see them." Are you the president of his fan base?

No, in other words, quit harassing the guy and being an *******. Your deep-seated narcissism is poisoning this thread. Cool it.

I've been critical of him as well, but constructively so. I'm not just trolling the guy and taunting him "derp, I live in his head rent-free" Shut the hell up with that type of crap.

Ya know here are a couple other preproduction renders Chaz has done. I'm not saying his render is what we will get or that he follows the CAD well, which could be fake for all we know, but he seems to get damn close. How about just enjoy it for what it is, the best we have so far!
