Ole-M Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Found these awsome renderings of a S30 on http://www.auto-otaku.com today. The creator is Jan Trondsen, a car designer that apperently worked on some interior details on the Nissan GT-R concept car. Jan Trondsen is a Norwegian name, so I'm trying to find out if he is actually Norwegian Anyone know if he is on this forum? Anywho... Here are the pics. http://www.coroflot.com/jtrondsen/ http://www.auto-otaku.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritech-z Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 According to the link at the end of the auto-otaku article, he's based out of San Jose, California: http://www.coroflot.com/jtrondsen/ looks like he enjoys japanese cars, skateboarding, and long walks on the beach.

Six_Shooter Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 JDM tail lights on a left hand drive? Someone's doing some virtual parts swapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONZTER Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Does anybody know what color that is on the sides. Looks like a Datsun factory color from a bluebird or something around that time. I really like the paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'm not sure what program that was made in, but the shader most likely just wants RGB values to make that color, I doubt that he pulled in an existing paint color from a real car.

Guest Yawnny Cash Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 My father was born and raised in Lillestrøm (Near Oslo) but I only lived there for a year as a baby though I have returned many times. I want to learn Norwegian but everyone there can tell I'm from California and wants to practice their English! I have been building a Datsun 510 (Bluebird) for 12 years but took on a '72 S30 that is diverting my attention! Since I build 3D digital data for Honda's Design studio it was natural to build one using the Alias software. It's pretty time consuming and the resulting data is "heavy" as it is actual machinable surface information where as most digital models are made the same way data for video games are made via polygons or millions of triangles stacked together. My data is made up of four sided square surfaces called N.U.R.B.S. as I'm sure veritech-Z knows all about since he uses Alias' sister software Maya. I have made many changes since as it is ongoing just for fun. But it is NOT perfect as I just used photos and numerical measurements instead of taking the time to laser scan my car and build over what we call a point cloud to be precisely accurate. Cheers and tusen takk! j! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Very nice but the oil cooler is not big enough and needs long hoses dangling everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockerstar Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Looks like you just modeled my ideal body modifications on a z! zg flares, BRE chin spoiler, and a BRE style rear spoiler, although I'm considering the sparrow-tail and the teller 5" duckbill Very nice work!

DavyZ Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Great artwork and thanks for taking an interest in lowly Datsuns Your work is worthy of a beer or two at least Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 NURBs used to be the standard in special effects from what I'm told. The instructor that taught me 3-D made the head for the Mathew Broderick Godzilla movie, and they used all NURBs back then on some super high-end Silicon Graphics hardware. I forget what it stands for, Non Uniform something or other. In video games, we use all polygonal models. Great model, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
