Description

This is my interpretation of a typical American hot rod. Hot rods originated in southern California when returning WWII soldiers wanted to create an American equivalent of the light and nimble sports cars of Europe (MGs, Alfa Romeos, etc). Suped up engines mostly V8s were swapped in place of the original motors. To help improve performance body parts were often removed. Fenders, bumpers, hoods, running boards were often shed to increase the horsepower to weight ratio of the vehicle. In this image I used a late 1920s, early 1930s sedan body as the basis for the car. Powered by a early model Ford flathead V8 which is supercharged with three carburetors. The roof of the sedan has been chopped to reduce it's height. I created the car from scratch using 3D modeling apps. The bulk of the modeling was done in Hexagon 3D and Silo 3D. For UV mapping I used 3DCoat. Textures were created in Photoshop and applied in Vue Complete 2015. The scene was also rendered in Vue Complete 2015. http://kenmo.fineartamerica.com/ http://kenmo.zenfolio.com/

You have really outdone yourself on this one Ken, from shape and form, to the fine details (really digging those tyre treads) and the excellent beauty render, all come together to make this Top Shelf Work !!!

Very well done my friend & ~Cheers~

Is it 21 stud or 24 stud or is it inverted exhaust and inlet assignments like a Cadillac? I made it a favorite so I can pick on it...only 3 mains like a Ferrari Grand Prix V-12 of what year? Barney Navarro or Von Dutch?
