INITIAL DEVELOPMENT
AS THE STYLING SHAPE OF THE CAR IS FINALISED ,THEN THE SCANNED TIFF DATA IS SENT TO 3D -STUDIO MAX, HYPERMESH. THERE WITH THE HELP OF THE SCANNED POINTS,STYLING IS OPTIMISED AND ENRICHED. THEN EACH AND EVERY VIEW OF CAR IS STYLED THERE AS AN IMAGED VIEW.
HYPERMESH IS USED TO MAKE PRE ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE AND FUNCTIONALITY TO AVOID COST IN CONCEPT DEVELOPING AND IN TROUBLESHOOTING

39

THE REALITY
THEN COMES THE IMAGINATIONS INTO REALITY.THE SCANNED DATA FROM THE MESH ARE TAKEN TO THE HIGH END SOFT TOOL LIKE ICEMSURF, ENOVIA. FROM THE DATA CLOUDS OF POINTS ARE CREATED,AND THE POINTS ARE TAKEN TO CREATE INITIAL SURFACES FROM THE STYLING CONCEPT,BIW IS DEVELOPED FIRST (THE CORE SHELL OF THE BODY)AND ITS EMBEDDED WITH EXTERIORS AND INTERIORS
