Masters of light
We have been fortunate to work with artists who turned our dream into reality.
The clay sculptors played a particularly important part.
Full-scale sculpting is an essential stage for us. It validates the digital work completed beforehand and, above all, brings a sensitivity and quality that only the hand and the eye can achieve.
Clay was applied directly to the car. The sculptors then roughed out its volumes using the main sections of our digital model. Once the overall mass was in place, we refined the surfaces and tightened each line until we found a balance we liked.
Once the volume is stable, a metallic film is applied to check the reflections. The reflections of the workshop’s strip lights reveal the quality of the surfaces.
If a reflection does not behave as the modeller intends, the surface is adjusted. This back-and-forth between sculpting and correcting the lines of light gradually defines the final bodywork.
When the clay model is finished, it is scanned in 3D. The bodywork is then entirely reconstructed digitally, allowing us, among other things, to achieve perfect symmetry.
We will let the artists’ work speak for itself:
