What should be learned in automobile shape design?

According to the classification of automobile designers, the methods are as follows:

First, to be an interior and exterior designer (automobile stylist in the narrowest sense), we should start with hand-drawing and express our modeling ideas by means of sketches and renderings.

Yes Secondly, we should learn aliases. Use alias to check the three-dimensional posture of a shape from a three-dimensional perspective. Similarly, after reaching a certain level, we should contact the sludge model of production 1: 4. This is heavy.

Yes, but it needs the support of funds and venues. Maybe you don't have to learn at first. Generally speaking, beautiful and chic renderings and hand-drawn sketches, and clearly expressed modeling concepts are the recruitment of stylists inside and outside the car.

Essential basic abilities.

Second, I am going to be an automobile digital designer (pre-stage and CAS), that is, to provide professional three-dimensional digital models of automobile modeling-including the conceptual design period.

Modeling the forward mathematical model after freezing and the ability to invert the A-plane (the latter is no longer in the category of designers in many companies). You should study alias or icem deeply.

Srf software. This paper studies how to use this high-end NURBS software to accurately express the three-dimensional characteristics of a modeling entity. Secondly, you can learn sketches, renderings and even a little sludge model making. Because you may not need it.

You need super hand-drawn expression ability, but you need good ability to read and look at pictures, and the ability to convert from two-dimensional renderings to three-dimensional forms.

Third, sludge modeler. As the name implies, it is understandable, but there are few schools in China that train such professionals. There are fewer relevant talents and fewer experts.

Fourth, cross-border car designers.

Some of them include

1, strategy and market analysis, pay attention to your graphic design ability and summary and expression ability, English is also very important.

2, color and color. Lace designer, pay attention to graphic design, vector design, material and fabric design and other related knowledge. And other normal industrial design related courses.

3. Automobile CG designer: To enter the new industry of automobile design, we must first start with modeling software such as alias and ICEM SRF, as well as rendering and animation software such as maya or 3ds max. Then, in the second step, if the hardware conditions are sufficient, you should learn some "rare" virtual reality software, such as alias showcase and even RTT.

Above all, in the whole design process, indoor and outdoor designers are "active" and constantly express their ideas and innovations. Others are "driven" and serve the whole design process. No one is absolutely good or bad, you should decide according to your own characteristics and interests.
