Stroke 42 - Citroen DS 19




This is one of the most revolutionary cars of all time, a classic that was really (but really) ahead of his time.


Its aerodynamic design is innovative enough to justify my tribute with this 3d modeling; near this one, all other cars equivalents at the time were little more than square.

I could leave here a list of innovations submitted for this car, but, that is not the intention of these strokes and there is plenty of information available for those who (still) do not know this piece of art.

Let’s go to the modeling, as usual, I started by the technical drawings, in this case different from usual, they are from Dan Palatnik whose work can be seen in http://www.palat.com.br.


The result of modeling is this:


After finding photographs that could be used to texture the model:


The model after applied the textures was this aspect:


The photomontage in SketchUp, very simple, also shows the flat bottom of the car, one of the many innovations of this machine.


As usual, the video with the overview of the model, here with some images from the original development of the car, obtained on the best site dedicated to this brand in http://www.citroenet.org.uk.


And the "photo-blueprint" of the final model.
