This is my personal taste of EXAGE. Looks simple, dashing and just
like any race day car or take a ride beside the beach. Fully
carbon body shell. I called it "SupermotoXL Personal Edition" because
it really reflect my simplicity and elegant. Yeahhhh!!
|
| Design History |
|
I got tired having to
design same genre of design which i usually follow the import and euro
trends. This months i'm trying a new taste. Going for western classic
muscle car blends its retro to present day design. What my heart says,
"need power, muscle, bulk, power and anger". This is the feeling when
you see such car which sparks that feeling in you. Tracking down ideas
for new muscles design imanage to get some glimpse and preview on several
western American muscle and pick up some iconic car like CAMARO, BARRACUDA,
HEMI and CHALLENGER. These car is very inspirational for me and the
looks can be very fierce for my design ideas. Blend them together in a
bowl and add some spices to current style body line and contour i manage to
come up with a design which could well acceptable as so call retro road
going sports car. Months later, my design production give birth to
first and most classic retro ever design in my department, with so
exaggerated retro looks i called it : "EXAGE: a hybrid of
American Muscle car (AM)". The official name will be "EXAGE
CD 20.0 XL-AM".
As shown EXAGE carries
several signature which trace back to classic muscle
looks of western wild road roarer. A
modernized classic: Chromed gril/bumper/wheels,
circular dual headlights, long linear horizontal
like body line, combed slope hatchback, wide open
frontal vent for direct air ramping, bulge wheel
wells/fender, curve ship hull like skirting.
All classic heritage of this legendary sign of
muscle car well intact and preserve to this modern
day world.
The wheel design also very
bulky big and phat tires ready for road drag thus
looks more urban styling too. The wheels
insipred from drag racing design but blended with
urban *bling to give it more aggressive and luxury
looks.
In a single glance at EXAGE,
the car looks will send you a very simple message
eyes to eyes "move over!, this is my turf".
EXAGE: its all about retro power and and
explosion of speed passion.
THE DESIGN
The construction:
Building an EXAGE from scratch doesn't took that long to complete when
compared to my previous design. With reference to other exotic muscle
design from the waste and simplicity design in mind without complexity if an
import car the work only took less than a month (2 weeks) on 3d modeler
tools such as Z-modeler. I build something that is visible to the eyes
from outside, the internal parts like engine and bits of details that hides
behind the walls and hood will not be constructed thus save polygon weight
and easy processing for any PC CPU to avoid lag problem on complex 3d models
unlike its exotic grandpa the NEMIXIS which have insane CPU/GPU killer
pollies in and out of the body.
To save the 3d development
time i've re-use back the interior models of "MAXXIMUS"
off-road truck which previously built last month
ago. These interior parts recycled include,
seats, dashboards, floor, tiles, audio (ICE) and
gearbox. It save me extra 5 days
development....yeah! lazy work for me eh?.
Axle parts taken from my custom design parts
inventory while the base plate under carriage is
from X3-SIXTY base plate.
To modernized the looks on
EXAGE, i've design parts like stacked LED brake
lights, HID clear headlights (beamer style), Six
hole drag style wheelsets, solid radiator decoration
grill bar, body shaped exhaust nozzle and sleek and
simple 350Z style door handle and DB coupe hatch
batch.
For more slammed looks i
made several variant with several theme paint jobs
and unique body coloring using multiple layer of
color to create anodized color on its body panel.
Overall EXAGE looks simply cool and easy to every
eyes who view design which makes simple
creation a works of wonder.
"Speed is
life'.
Live to
design and share the passion. |
