Michiel tells me the guys at Alias are interested in seeing the 3D sketch for the road rage drawing. So I stand and deliver, such is the nature of my occupation. I don't know whether it's a promotion or a degradation, but I am now considered a living rendering program. A good thing really, after all I am rather soft. I would show you the bicycle close up, but I can't find where Michiel put that file. He built me the bike, the car and the scooter are poorly modeled free crashing internet finds.
I can see the use of rendering a scene like that, but what I really am curious about: isn't it a huge time suck compared to sketching some lines on paper?
It is a time suck, yes. But you don't draw cars and bicycles by sketching a few lines either, especially bikes are a nightmare. And this way I can put everything exactly where I want it, at the right angle, even with the right lighting, so in the end it might even save some time. And I am quite happy with the result myself.
