Hum3d Car Render Challenge entry

My original concept was to have a classic Mustang retro-fitted in the future with sci-fi tech that would allow it to take flight. After working on it for a time I changed up the concept to one where the Mustang was being re-manufactured for buyers to get that old Mustang feel but with modern (sci-fi) technology It would be augmented with a 'flight module' to provide it the ability flight in Earth's atmosphere or in space (along with the car being built to handle space flight).

The final composition is a brochure giving potential buyers enough information to want to head to the dealer and check out the thing in person.

Big thanks to my friend Dirk Soelling for developing the Flight Module concept and helping develop the final composition layout.

Project completed with the use of Silo3d, 3DS Max, Laubwerk, ZBrush, Photoshop, Forest Pack, Corona Renderer.

The final composition. Many fast renders and lots of cleanup. Most of the work done on the last day.
