Stroke 46 - Renault 4L




Here is another classic automobile that was meant to be simple, modern, cheap and functional.

Built over 32 years, between 1961 and 1993, was a bestseller with more than 8 million units, beating his rival, the Citroen 2CV, which sold just over 5 million.

But his story is spread around, just look, and what matters here is the 3d, as usual, started by the technical design of the model:


The images for texture were found at All Sport Auto:


The basic modeling as simple as possible:


And the end result:


Here is the model in a country setting, because in Portugal this model is known as the Jeep of the poor.


Finally see the video to appreciate all the work.


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