GM INTERNSHIP PROJECT!

My Internship/ Graduation Project at GM 2010

Hey Folks! Finally I´m posting my internship project, that was done during last year, at  General Motors studios in Brazil, It was a year of self knowledge, and a lot of improving! Those guys of GM design studios are the very best that I ever met! Since now i let here my "Thank you sooo much!"

I´ll post in some parts, and at the final post you will see the entire job, ok?

Lets  starting with some initial sketches!

The Proposal of the project was to create a concept car for 2030, and not only a street car, but a stock Car! A huge challenge for us! I did the exterior shape designs, Bruno Said (brunosaid.blogspot.com) did the interior design, Marcelo Cardillo did the 3d surface modeling and Luis Pinheiro de Lima did the Program Management part, we formed a group of 4 people, simulating a micro studio, a micro GM, this was the very first time that a group of interns did something like this, here in GM studios in BRazil.At first, I started with some sketchs to find something to follow, to lead the conceptual part of the work, I did found a lot inspiration in the nature, looking some images of poison dart frogs, sharks, and chameleons...take a look and let me see what you think about it until now ok? see you later! TNX!

And here is some Theme sketches...

Stock Car Concept 2030 part 3. the final Renderings!

" Hello fellows! long time without posting, so here´s the third part of my graduation project, the stock car 2030, its the final design, the scale model will look pretty much like these renderings, hope you like it, Any comment will be appreciated!"

Em português:
Fala povo! depois de um tempinho sem postar nada, ta aqui a terceira parte do meu projeto de graduação/estágio GM, o Stock Car Concept 2030, são os renderings finais da proposta escolhida, o modelo em escala ficou bem fiel aos renderings, pelo menos eu achei...mas tbm com uma equipe de profissionais daquele gabarito da GM não tinha como não ficar igual...vlw! Qualquer comentário será bem vindo!

 

Stock Car 2030, The Last Chapter: The Scale Model

Finally I'm posting here the last part of my graduation project, done in my internship at GM Brazil!
At this stage I show the process of producing a scale model of the Stock Car Concept 2030. Since the tape drawing, through modeling in clay, foam model, machining, development of the wheels, Color & Trim, choice of colors and textures of the entire exterior of the concept, including the wheels.
And photos of scale model finished!
It was an amazing experience, the least I can say to those who received me at GM, and always encouraged me, is THANK YOU!!! I will not be say names here because there are so many people! They know how grateful I am for everything!
I hope you like it too!
Big Hug!

Portuguese words: "Finalmente estou postando aqui a ultima parte do meu projeto de graduação feito no meu estágio na GM Brasil!!
Nesta etapa eu mostro o processo de produção do modelo em escala do Stock Car concept 2030. Desde o tape drawing, passando pela modelagem em clay, modelo em espuma, usinagem, desenvolvimento das rodas, até Color & Trim, escolha de cores e texturas de toda parte externa do conceito, incluindo as rodas.
E as fotos do modelo em escala finalizado!
Foi uma experiência incrível, o minimo que posso dizer para aqueles que me receberam na GM, e me incentivaram sempre, é MUITO OBRIGADO!! Não vou ficar citando nomes aqui, pois são muitos! Eles sabem o quanto sou grato por tudo!
Espero que vocês também gostem!
Grande Abraço!
