Another dope car concept

Another cool concept which is very very similar to the previous concept.  Although "Zoomy" and bad-ass aside from the crazy wheels (exactly what I enjoyed about the previous vehicle)  it's not doing anything too different.  check the whole gallery for the car here.

Volkswagen "Biorunner"




So I am really into this Volkswagen Biorunner concept I found on Carbodydesign.com.  It's not necessarily  the most unique concept, in my opinion, but it's very solid in it's execution.

I'm currently in a very conceptual/experimental transportation design class and I have a very high appreciation now for just how hard these concepts are to come by sometimes.

The aesthetics of the vehicle are very cool, every part seems to have a reason and a function, and through that sort of extreme "function" based design it looks very cool.  I'm especially a fan of the wheels, VERY intriguing.  The integration of the helicopter into the concept is just awesome, at every view it's a dynamic drawing and design.  I'm into it.

the redbull shit is kind of corny, but why WOULDN't redbull sponsor something like this?

autocad bike frame builder



So im going to build a bike frame in my welding class (like I even have time for such an endeavor..) and I found this website..  it's called "Bike forest" basically it's got a bunch of CAD plug ins and downloads to build custom bikes. this is very VERY awesome...  The level of customization in the free version is epic, I will certainly use this as an assist to my bike build.

Transportation design pt 1: floater


initially this model developed into a great concept but it just did not have enough content.

Transportation design pt 1: longship


this model "longship" had other more suitable names but nothing really stuck. this was one of the two models cut out of the next stage of development.


Transportation design pt 1: Fest


"Fest" another initial concept. Drawings will come soon. peep some previews in back left


Transportation design pt 1: Relo


this is "Relo" in it's preliminary to final stage. The color helps to explain the form and multiple drawings have been done to help develop the concept, more to follow.



Transportation design pt 1:corl

1 of 5 models created for conceptual development based off of their aesthetic properties.

this is "corl" and i will have more drawings to come to explain more of the concept.
