Maybe you over did on the bling bling chrome :chinese: That looks much better.
You think they look at them in order of submission?
I got lot to say but that does not mean I know everything
If they go by order of submission then I will probably be the last one. They would be pissed off by the time they get to my entry :banghead: Seriously you think they can look at 4000+ entries in 5 days? That is like 1000 a day
cylindrical bolt concept? Don't remember. Got link to an image?
eduardgray do you do 3d for a living?
I give honest to the point crits. Learn from them or just ignore me
Used to do 3d for a living, not anymore, moved onto a more stable lifestyle. Yerself?
Oh I see. They have selected worse ones though.
Yeah I design for a living :buttrock: There is nothing else in life that I am capable of doing, small or big. For example when at collage I joined a construction site to make some money on the side. I was so cr@p at it that the workers told me to sit in one corner and only work when the boss visited the site That was the easiest money I ever made thanks to those hardened but kind workers.

I like the presentation and the render quality...design wise not so much, the forms and curvature are in the outdated streamline category reminiscent to 1940's styling.
i think when looking at the peugeot contest, one must keep a lot of factors in mind. they aren't just looking at who designs the nicest concept. obviously it looking good doesn't hurt but it never appeared to me like that was first on their list of priorities. it's about taking an idea and conceptualizing it in a way that's interesting. As such, "concepts" where potential technology that fits the key-words and ideas set out by peugeot will probably do better than concepts that just look cool. Further to that, presentation counts for a lot as far as i can tell. I'm not trying to say that your design is bad. it isn't as refined as it could be but the pure side view shows potential. I'm just trying to observe that you've done a good job having an idea behind it which is ultimately what peugeot is looking for. it may not be the standard we usually apply to providing crits around here but it may be more applicable.
You never know where a design is going to end when you start it. This design is an evolution of shapes and an underlying function that have been combined to give the final look.
Personally I love the flowing unbroken lines of "the 40's" and I strive for beauty first in my designs. I think beauty is timeless, whereas "new edge" styling, chamfered wheel arches and the like will show their age shortly.
Naturally one must look at the state of the art and the current themes to sell to todays market, but in a futuristic design competition, one can fantasize about what the trends will be in the future.
My concept is based around the idea that the "megalopoli" of the future will be centers of commerce and great weath, like London today, where the less wealthy are moving away from the unaffordable city centers, therefore my design targets a more luxury market.
As a sidenote, I had a computer meltdown in the middle of the project and had to borrow a laptop to complete the project. Could have done with the extra time to refine the details. Maybe next year.
