STEPS IN DESIGNING CARS

Make a concept

The design process begins with a concept car design. Once informed of the purpose of development, target customer profiles, and other aspects of vehicle development plan, the design team first think about the concept of car design.

There follows a full discussion until the designers are satisfied with the images together as a concept vehicle.

Sketch ideas - freehand
The first step in giving expression to the picture in the head designer is to create a freehand sketch ideas. Noting that the concept was adopted, and the various conditions set out in the concept stage of manufacture, designers began a series of sketches. At this stage sketch is about to give a sense of purpose design, the potential for future development ..

Development of concepts

Sketch idea - computer 
Pencils, pastels, markers and other sketch tools used by designers has changed with time. Today, personal computers play an important role as a drawing tool for designers.The computer allows the designer to examine design ideas, sophisticated expressions, and visual images in a short time. The personal computer is thus a valuable tool for designers that offers them a way to express the image they want to convey.

 
Digital Design 
A digital modelers and designers need a sketch to give an idea of ​​three-dimensional shapes. A vehicle that no one has seen is given concrete form in the virtual space. To give the image a three dimensional shape, a large amount of information that must be collected. In addition, the appeal and distinctive features of the ideas and images conceived by the designer to be honored as the sketches translated into lines and surfaces. The conversion process requires creativity and talent to make the greatest demands on the digital modelers ..


 
Color Selection

1.Exterior colors 
Color design. That means not only to implement but it gives individuality vehicle colors. Color design, such as exterior and interior design, is an important element in determining the character of the vehicle. Total color coordination is very important. Analyses were performed on various kinds of data including what colors are in vogue in the field of fashion and interior design throughout the world, to determine the best colors for the vehicle and also to bring out its individuality.

2. Interior colors 
Colors should be chosen but coordinated. Instrument panel and steering wheel, cloth seats, ceilings, carpets and other interior fixtures made of various materials. Therefore, the interior color repeatedly studied from various perspectives. This creates a pleasant space all five senses. Attention to the individual colors and materials is key to creating the impression of the total.

Making mockups 

1. Modeling clay
In three-dimensional modeling clay, clay modelers working with designers to ensure an understanding of original intent, using eye and hand to check the actual finish line and surface as a model took shape. In forming ideas about the design drawings with the purpose, and themes, satisfactory results will not be possible unless the modeler and designer can achieve a unified approach. The work involves molding and sculpting and then molding and sculpting again. By repeating this process, which may seem simple to an outsider, the shape of the vehicle tested and perfected to the best line.

  

2. Interior Mock-up 
When exploring the interior design, mock-ups as close as possible to the real object is used. Wood modelers using wood, but not only plastic, metal, fabric and various other materials to create a full-size model designer ideas. The designer can then examine not only the flexibility and feel of the cabin but also the accessibility of the cabin, ensuring visibility, the "friendliness" of the meter and visual control on the operation of full-size scale.


Skill and Equipment 

World modeler is one of the skilled workmanship. These skills and process improvement that has all the features craft. The skills involved in modeling can be taught, but the rest must be learned alone. Designers understand the intent and respond with appropriate modeling skills, judgments, and awards from the physical mass of the vehicle - the feeling of an expert for this kind of task acquired through practice and careful thought on the job. 

 

Decision Making 

Viewing from the point of end customers in the design process, the customer needed. Decision of the Hall has a roof that opens and closes. When the roof is opened, the design model, which is placed on a turntable, can be studied under natural light from all directions although the indoor location. The facility also has special lighting that allows the model can be seen in conditions close to natural light on a rainy day and night. The facility also has a virtual screen capabilities. On screen, the image projected actual vehicles. This allows to study the design of the vehicle at the same time. Seeing the vehicle in natural light. Seeing the digital vehicle. Regardless of the method used, the most important thing is to see things from the customer's perspective.
