Advanced Digital Rendering Skills

  You can also add detailed wheels to perspective views. Using Transform and Warp tools, a wheel image can be quickly adapted to match the perspective of the vehicle. I recommend using a wheel image that’s already rendered in a similar perspective, to give a sense of dimension and depth.  A powerful, futuristic electric pickup truck from a hypothetical startup, this tutorial explores advanced rendering techniques in Sketchbook Pro. The bodywork is rendered in Electric Yellow, using the contrasting blue background to create a strong warm-cool contrast as a way to define the powerfully sculptural surfacing.

Assignment: 3-5 perspective view rendering of your best Sports Car, and 3-5 perspective view renderings of your best SUVs. Apply detailed set of wheels to both. 

The latest in the Porsche 911 demo series focuses on the front 3/4 view, imagining the future 911 as an exotic, mid-engined hybrid. The cabin is low and centered between strong wheel haunches, with an aircraft canopy quality to the wraparound windscreen. The front end places full emphasis on large, deeply scalloped headlamps with high-tech LED lighting elements. It's rendered in a brighter shade of silver, in a strong sunset environment which provides a dramatic warm-cool color contrast to the bodywork.

    Demonstration of how to develop quick front end variations, using Sketchbook Pro's symmetry tools. This tutorial also demonstrates the power of warm and cool lighting effects to add dramatic effect to a white or silver vehicle.

 This tutorial showcases advanced digital rendering techniques in Sketchbook Pro, for a sexy, futuristic 4 door electric coupe. Rendered in a bold metallic red, this car features a high-tech lighting signature and the absence of a traditional grille. This car combines supercar proportions with 4 passenger accommodation.

Sketching over a rough 3D model or photo can be a great way to quickly capture the right perspective and proportions. Here’s a quick rendering demonstration on sketching a sexy, Italian performance EV hatchback over a rough 3-D model, then articulating form through the use of a strong light source in a red environment. The outer extremities of the car recede into the red environment, while surfaces facing towards the light source take on a brilliant silver tone.

  Sketching over a rough 3D model or photo can be a great way to quickly capture the right perspective and proportions. Quick rendering demonstration on sketching a rugged, off-road EV over a rough 3-D model, then articulating form through the use of a strong light source in a green environment. The outer extremities of the vehicle recede into the green environment, while surfaces facing towards the light source take on a brilliant silver tone.
