[WarpedOne]

Has anyone with some PhotoShop skills tried coloring this GenIII (?) clay model:

I believe a screengrab from an old video (before the Model X)

Likely an early Model S. The function built in clay first before the style is added on.

He said photoshop "skills" :wink::biggrin:

That was the low budget (e.g., free) version. You get what you pay for...

It's clay. Sometimes clay looks like, well, Play-Doh.

Nice job, TEG!!

Here's my attempt. I tried to make it look more glossy but the jpg picture had too many artifacts to look good, so I just left it with the "matte" finish.

My first thought was that this clay model looks like a RWD Mazda3 with some styling cues from the Mazda6. It all made sense when I realized that Franz von Holzhausen is a Mazda veteran.

Love the tinted windows, oh make that one way glass, oh sorry about that this is a clay model isn't it:smile:

Heres a morph of a Model S onto the clay then tweaked into a Coupe .. Well, kinda.

@TEG - Where are those weird looking door handles from?

@PV4EV - Where'd the battery chrome below the doors go?

Brianman: my pic has Mazda 3 door handles...

Are you hoping they go with something more traditional (like the Mazda 3) for Gen 3 handles? Or just a convenience for your mockup?

Convenience / expedience in the photoshop.

Are people generally happy with the auto-extending door handles on the Model S?

Wow, I like it!
Maybe a bit longer doors and a bit different front end/lights.

Ok, I've slightly stretched the door shut line to the right, and squished the height a little too. But this is all being done with a simple bit-map editor (not photoshop funnily enough!) ... so its only supposed to be a crude mock up to look at through squinty eyes !!!

I suspect that the Gen3 will actually be a proper 4/5 seater with 4 doors. Personally I quite like the idea of a 2 door Coupe shape, and only occasionally need the use of rear seats so 4 doors is not high on my priority list.

Its a crude mock-up done with a bit-map editor ! Wasn't expecting anyone to look at the detail too much ... In an ideal world with loads of time on my hands, I'd model the entire thing into a very high-res 3D model, and render it in all sorts of ways.

Could you also shrink the door and fit another another door? Think it makes more sense if G3 is a 4-door (5-door, whatever it's called)
