Buy the car, CGI the look and laser cut the body.

Nov 17

Posted by Vern in Automotive, Digital | No Comments

When I buy a car I think of it as the starting point, then I need to visual what it would look like when I have made the changes I want, hoping it will look they way I imagine it.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could walk into a dealer, say I want a Chevy Camaro, let’s make it black, the bonnet to have two nostrils, no make it one. Spoiler to look like…etc. The dealer gives the specs to a CGI guy, he produces this video;

And then the dealer laser cuts the body components to the CGI references.

It’s doable!!

Holden Online MagazineHolden have a very nice online magazine which is an extension of their EDM’s. Many fail at online magazines by trying to make them look like a magazine, graphical page turners for example and they come out just looking tacky.

It doesn’t need to look like a magazine, it just needs to be readable like a mag.

Holden have done this very nicely by keeping is easy to use but also having the big glossy images and not overflowing with copy your never going to read.

Domain.com.au improved refine search criteria

I really like www.domain.com.au new refine search function. It is completely reactive to the data on the screen.

Their old method was selecting how many bedroom or more, now you can checkbox exactly how many you want. Which is cool but besides that it will only show you options that are relevant to the current data. In other words, if there are no 1 bedders, then 1 bedroom is not an option.

Easier to use, and most importantly, it is neat and works sharp. No useless graphical crap, nice and quick.
