Vehicle Design
From cars and motorcycles to planes, spaceships, and hovercraft, Vehicle Designers envision modes of transportation that must serve both form and function. In the entertainment industry, these designs must inspire in their functional beauty as manufactured mechanical objects, across a diverse array of possible forms and shape language. The Vehicle Design Path covers everything from fundamental 2D drawing techniques to more advanced workflows using 3D software. The featured instructors have worked in the automotive and entertainment industries for such clients/projects as IndyCar, Bugatti, Star Citizen, Horizon Zero Dawn, Rogue One, and Foundation.
