Santa's new hot rod sled...and Merry Christmas Everyone....

[Kenmojr]

I did this image a few years ago. I modeled Santa's hot rod from scratch in 3D using Wings3D and Sketchup. The basic scene was rendered in e-onsoftware's Vue. The render was brought into ArtRage where I painted Santa, trees and deer. Color adjustments where done in Photoshop.

I recently  did some updates to Santa's hot rod. My attempt was not to create realism, but going more for a somewhat cartoonish look...

Merry Christmas everyone!!!! All the very best in 2023.

PS: I need to create an interior in the future, but this will do for a simple 3D render for Christmas....

Ken,

Next to KOOL this is way above the mark!  Back in MCM #215 3D was brought forefront and your transformation from your imagination to a three-dimensional image is an example of mind over matter.  Knowledge is power.  Well done... keep us posted! -KK

Thanks for the kind words, appreciate them.

Here is a supercharged V8 flathead  that I have been working on and off on. I tend to start several projects and jump between 3D modeling, digital illustrating and processing raw photos I have taken with my DSLR Nikons (mostly cars and some landscapes from driving around Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Maine).

I do not think my engine is to proper scale as I mostly use my 3D models for 3D renderings and digital illustrations and not for 3D printing.
