Peugeot MagLev

[eduardgray]

This is my submission for the Peugeot design contest.
Modeled in Maya, rendered in Maxwell.

EDIT- Images 3 and 5 angles let down the car in a major way. So I take away my previous "potential winner" comment.

that's a cool idea to use maglev in between cities and stuff. it may not be my favourite design (though it's nice) but the technical idea is really impressive.

The text reads:

"Between Mega cities, the MagLev retracts it’s wheels and is propelled at speeds of up to 350 km/h by the magnetic levitation tracks, keeping the travel time and road traffic to a minimum."

Amazing.. your presentation rules :buttrock::buttrock::buttrock: thumbs up

[P2sta]

hi man, good work IMO, agree with rodder, its good idea and the design looks interesting too for me

[DaveCox]

awesome renders and I love the technical concept behind it!

[Purple Puppy]

Nice design... nice renders. Awesome presentation!

I like the top down view. The design of the car looks very futuristic and streamlined. However, a problem is that it can get a bit difficult to see the Peugeot logo on the hood of the car. Also, the paint is a bit too glossy.

It would be hard to use magnetic levitation on such a track, however, considering that in magnetic levitation there is no stable equilibrium.

Nevertheless, good luck in the competition!

Rodderworld, where are you finding all the peugeot entries? I'm curious about the competition.
I suppose you see everything that comes in. I'm not sure all the entries are turning up in the Peugeot forum.

Got any links to your favourite designs?

Gotta say that I'm really impressed with Maxwell. These images are all rendered with one light only and no postprocessing. One click rendering really. Handy when you're running short on setup time.

Very good feeling!

Aw, a downgrade. Well it was nice while it lasted.

So you don't like the long tail, eh?

Just hope the judges are buzzed out on too much coffee from evaluating the 4000+ entries and miss it.:clown:

The side view of the car is not nice and the front on is also not that nice. It's not just the tail, the whole side area is bit messy. The first image had me sold though. You still have a good chance of making it to the first 30.

From the ones posted here your one is the better one :$:

4000 entries mean some luck is involved. If 5 people look at the entries together then it's more fair. On the other hand if 5 people divide the entries between themselves and look at them alone then the person's taste comes into it and a perfectly good entry could get binned.

Some of the ones they picked in the past makes you wonder if supermarket workers were doing the picking :search: Last year the quality improved though.

This is what the side of the car looks like without the chrome and lady in the way anyway.

Judging starts today. Hope they're in a good mood. You think they look at them in order of submission?

And what was with that cylindrical bolt concept last year anyway?
