New Vehicle Design Technique

Okay, I've come across a new vehicle design technique based around merging basic 3-D models and photoshop, so I'm giving it a go.

For the purpose of the trial, I'm trying to produce a bunch of different vehicles based on the same basic chassis (an APC) so the first job is to design the base chassis.

Step 1:  a very basic geometry block out, mainly just to get the perspective right.

Step 2:  draw/paint over the model in photoshop to add details

Step 3:  use the drawing to refine the basic model, adding detail etc.

 

Step 4:  pick an area and draw/paint more detail/options
