Full car 3D rendered

[Blue Milton Works]

I did search here and the web but did not find anything so if I have missed it please know that I tried. Question is has anyone done a full rendering of a 2002 digitally? It would be great tool to have  for reproducing body parts and or adding things such as fender flares. These items could then also be 3D printed in aluminum or carbon fiber then married perfectly with the original. This way there would be little to no fitment issues. Cheers all stay warm and safe.

Several rendering-quality 3D models exist. They have little/interior or engine bay/trunk/underbody/suspension detail, or fidelity down to the individual part level.  None are detailed/accurate enough for part fabrication.

 

With the tech now it’s definitely possible now to precision scan at the resolution needed. But you’ll be dealing with as-built/as-aged dimensions versus as-designed dimensions.

 

Given these cars are ~50 years old, it’s also doubtful a precision scan of one car works for another - enough to design & fab detailed parts to.

 

Folks have been applying 3D printing on 02 parts, but it’s been small bits and pieces.

Right thanks V. I would love to have an STL file of the entire car in and out. I think as handheld digital scanners with a resolution of .02mm and a price tag below 15k along with large format 3D printing in metal and carbon fiber begin to be within reach we'll have the opportunity for a ton of great fabrication.

 This one is my favorite...

These AI generated/assisted 2002 renders (from a friend on a different forum) are a bit alternate universe…

 

in a cool way… 🙃

The 2002 is in Forza 5 .

 

Someone from the modding community could probably get the model

I've been exploring 'digitising' my Baur for a few years now... I have the car built in 3D and rendered and have also made a start on a 3D printable version.

I've also been searching the web for a fully 3D pro scanned example, but as mentioned there doesn't seem to be anything available. Not surprising really as a fully hi res 3D scanned car would be a massive undertaking, especially if you include, interior, engine and subframes!

And whilst i have been designing and 3d printing a lot of trim parts for the 02, my 3D version of the complete car is a rough approximation of my actual car, the file could never be used to reproduce panels, etc.

Hopefully one day, someone will scan and share a full size digitised 02?

I do so adore the idea that, since it's "digital", someone's going to

just give away the tens of thousands of hours it'd

take to create a relatively bolt- accurate representation of a car.

 

But I don't think Crapitalism works that way.  

In my experience.

 

I mean, you wouldn't say 'Hey, will you give me your Ferrari Dino?' and expect

it to just show up in your driveway, would you?*

 

Of course, a truly dedicated person might start a Git with some wireframes

and see if they could con others into 'crowdsourcing' the time to do little bits

and pieces, and then assemble all of THAT free labor into a whole car.  But even

THAT's a pretty darned colossal task, even if all the submissions were accurate, 

at the same scale, in the same format, and so on.

 

And STL just sucks for anything other than surfaces.

*can mine be in dark blue, please?

Says YOU!

 

...Didn't Son of Cobra use the technology for the fenders and flares?

I have one. I've been contemplating selling the file, but haven't come up with a solid plan yet.

Toby's post hits the nail on the head. While not thousands of hours, it did take a stupid amount of time with a $75k tool. I didn't just scan the car either, I removed most of the parts, scanned them separately, and compiled everything together. Only thing I didn't pull was the dash and engine/trans, but I did scan an M10 separately and insert it. 

The file is huge, even using a workstation with a 16GB GPU solidworks isn't happy unless a lot of files are suppressed.

Here’s a few renders I did in service of my project. Since this was used almost purely for concept visualization, nothing is nearly accurate enough for 3D printing spec parts. This was all done with a tape measure and a mouse. BUT everything was built with a pretty obsessive eye to measurement and detail, so I did end up using the model to inform a lot of my part fabrication. Door cards, center console, and a bunch of the fabrication surrounding the M20 swap and custom exhaust all benefited greatly from the model. 
 

And yeah, so many hours…

@Lucky 7 Am I seeing it correctly that you modeled the cracks in your dashboard? Hilarious!

[2002FjordBaur]

.stl? 😂

[Lucky 7]

Busted!😂  Not modeled though. I just drew those in post because I’m trying to decide between leaving it ‘vintage’, doing a leather cover, or coughing up the cash for JushDashes.

Man those are awesome guys, thanks for sharing. We just got a Trimble x7 3d scanner at the shop and I know what you mean Manimal about file size. To try and make a mesh file that would be accurate enough to 3d print with from the point cloud is huge and very hard to work with anything short of a super computer. 🤪
