Not yet lol. But maybe after I get this in 3D and you can see it in all it's real glory.... who knows.

Yes. Probably sooner than later, but I'm finding that creating a car in 3D isn't exactly easy.

Wow thank you! I appreciate the feedback!

Here's a vid from a live feed about a year ago that I think is applicable to the thread(s). If you haven't seen it, I feel that it's worth a watch...


I'm sure there are many more and better vids on the subject but I found this one after a very brief search. Interesting perspective.

That was VERY interesting to watch. It's disgusting to watch somebody draw a nice 3/4 perspective view in like seconds while it took me hours LOL. That was a good video thank you!

As I've stated numerous times before, I really love this concept. I feel like some of the nitty gritty details which could really make it pop are missing, but that's not the point of this journey...at least not yet. To me (and I think Doc might agree) its about finding a good overall potential design that could work for a next generation Camaro. I think if someone were to do a very detailed 3D model painted with light shimmers and shading that shows the curves of what Doc has in his head it would really be something pretty awesome. The is more of a flat 2D like rendering.

Upon first glance you might think "looks very much like the 5th gen". But really...its VERY different, yet retains much of what we love about the 5th gen, and has the Camaro heritage within the design. The belt line is a bit high like the 5th gen, but with the way the window swoops down towards the front, and then juts back up for the hood line, it would make looking down to see thinks like corners on the track...or curbs when simply parking your car much easier than the 5th gen. The almost "shaved" like door handles, the way the sheetmetal at the bottom front of each side door curves inward, which is opposite of the 5th gen which is mostly at the back of each door....it all makes for a very familiar but different design.

The SS or Z/28 version looks absolutely menacing to me, and I love that rear end.

If I had to nit pick I'd say I'd like a little more of something in the "hips" of the car. More flare or curve to them. The line there feels a bit flat to me, but front and rear views are pretty awesome.

In the end, I see this as perfect fit for a slight smaller/lighter Camaro riding on the Alpha platform. I'm sure GM had the 6th gen "basic" design pretty much wrapped up well before now, but I'm betting there are still those "nitty gritty" details to work out. If anything, just want to say I appreciate the work you've done Doc. Keep it up.
Wow this is a really great start to this new thread. This is so much nicer to read than the reaction to the 2014 refresh lol. So it seems clear we're definitely going in the right direction. Good feedback guys, thanks!
