Hi guys, Long time DSMer New Freelancer here, so let me introduce myself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now with that out of the way. A friend is selling some of the equipment of his shop, and that includes a fancy Artec 3D scanner.
He's willing to let me finance it, and the only way it makes financial sense is to get enough work to justify the expense.
I saw this as a good opportunity to keep the aftermarket for these cars alive.
My current goal is to get at least 10 people to commit to $30 a month to be able to start this project, that way I can pay some of the financing for the scanner and make time to scan and process the parts.
My plan is to scan as many parts as possible and relese them in a weekly or monthy basis.
I have my 2g GSX in pieces for a rebuild so it's a good starting point.
The Models will be uploaded in OBJ format fully textured.
I have been debating what would be the best way to manage files and subscription, I was thinking that patreon would be a good option, or a google drive + paypal folder? I'm not really sure as this is the first time I'm doing something like this. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some test scans with parts that I had lying around.
(i hope the gifs work, if not just to the video below)
I made a Video to show how this files can be used to desing new parts or check stuff. they are already up to 1-1 scale.
Please excuse all the "ermms" and "uhmms" as not always i get to speak english so i was a bit nervous. Hope everything i said is clear in the video.
Here you can see the finished part of that video.
All coments and questions are welcome.
And Thanks for reading such a long and unusual post.
I'm Pepe from Mexico and I got my first DSM at 16, and that's what got me interested in studying Automotive and Transportation Design, I did some of my student work at Chrysler Mexcio Designing accessories for the JK Wrangler, then I got a job as A design engineer at an industrial valve factory, where my job was to design new valves and then machine the molds for casting, I bought some of the disused machines they had and opened my own machine shop. where I have been making parts for DSM and Evos, but only sell them locally.
