Rendering for my project....

What do you guys think? Since this was done the door handles are NOT being shaved just the locks, and the roof will be white with the stock trim under the rear window.....

Re: Rendering for my project....

I think it looks good. The rendering is a bit off, but it drives home the idea. A few questions regarding the rendering:
  • Do you plan on running one-piece windows?
  • Do you plan on running those type of peep mirrors?
  • Are you not shaving the front side markers?
  • Are you planning on running a bumber like what is shown?
  • Oh, and when do you plan to have it hit the streets?

The rendering was done by Kutting Edge Graphix and I'm not too happy with it at all.
I do plan on running 1 piece windows if someone get's them to work
No I'm not shaving the side markers
I'm running stock bumpers front and rear, he got the rear one wrong.
I'm hoping to have it done by end of summer/or Nov-Dec.

Re: Rendering for my project....

Also, do you plan on running no inside rear-view-mirror?

Looks good. I like the changes you mentioned.

Re: Rendering for my project....

You can draw... can you airbrush too? If you can, remove the stock trim and airbrush the trim back on.

I did not draw this, I paid someone and I'm really not happy with it at all, so now I have to figure out my options and if I can get my money back which I'm sure I can't.
I didn't think about it, I should have just gave a deposit but I don't think it was an option. Anyone else dealed with these guys?

Thanks for the reply. Hope you reach your goal.

I think the rear bumper looks good. If only you could find a matching front one (so that the lines would match). They could set the truck apart from the others who run the stock front/rear blazer bumpers.

From what I've seen of their work, I'm a bit surprise at the 'loose' interpretation of the truck in the art rendition. I would have expected a bit more detail and accuracy like some of their past renditions. But, like N2 said, it is 'hand-crafted' and won't be necessarily perfect. Having someone like Zumo 'create' a digital photochop of it would of yielded a closer replication. I'd go with what you got. It's artistic..

Re: Rendering for my project....

One thing to keep in mind with renderings is they are never going to be "picture" perfect. There is no doubt the proportations are a bit off on the truck, but it does give you a concept of what your trying to achieve.

If you really want a picture quality rendering get Andy at www.zumografx.com
Check out the photochop forum for some of his work...

Re: Rendering for my project....

yeah i like the ida too but that drawing could have been better in the lower shot from the drivers side the rear wheel arc is way to low. but it is by hand so what can you really do. That sucks about the rear bumper not being the one you wanted on there for that i would be mad. but whatever at least it gives the idea and if you go to shows it is cool to have a rendering like that
