AI in 3D Car Design: Is SubD Modeling being taken over?

Discover how cutting-edge AI tools are transforming the car design industry. In this video, we explore whether AI is set to replace traditional SubD modeling workflows. Learn about tools like Vizcom, Hyper3D, and how they compare to classic techniques in Autodesk Alias.
What we'll be talking about:
How AI accelerates 3D concept creation
Real-world applications of AI in car design projects
The strengths and limitations of AI vs. SubD modeling
Is AI the future of automotive design, or does SubD modeling still hold its ground? Watch to find out!

Its difficult to predict how we will design cars in the future. This method is used to build a 3d model of a 2 dimensional sketch. Once its built a model presumably the designer will want to develop it further. This might be done in subd or perhaps AI can continue until its built exactly what the designer wants. If it can go this far then even more advanced AI's will be able to consider any engineering constraints and build an A-Class model too. In the future the end user might describe what they want and AI would do everything and build one-off disposable cars at fractions of today's production costs. It all depends on your imagination.

It would be interesting to test this workflow with a car a bit more complex. But the output from Hyper3d is quite good. It's really hard to predict what the future will be with this ever changing environment, I'd say that sooner or later we will have an all in one tool (Photoshop - Vizcom - Blender - Alias) anyways it's cool to see all of this happening in real time. New sub btw!

@@nachoalfonsogarcia2305 thanks for the comment 👍 tools are changing rapidly and yes I agree, all in one tool very much needed. Or some features will be adopted in traditional softwares at least. Alias AI maybe idk. Thanks 👍👍

This is really interesting, so thanks for making this video firstly. I've been waiting for this to come along, and I didn't think it was far off when I first had a play with Vizcom some time ago, and could see the exponential path ahead. I think we will be getting good meshes out of ai in the not too distant future. I suppose the 3D output of these ai generators is limited by the amount of form expression that is put in at the front end in 2D form.. however, that said, I imagine an ai could very quickly categorize surface language of any manufacturer by analysing surface curvature vs. surface curvature rates of change vs. distribution of features across existing product which would give a reasonable estimation of what makes up a manufacturers (current!) design language, and therefore perhaps only a rough sketch is required for the ai to spit out a beautiful model, (and probably the tooling drawings beside!). What I am looking forward to trying now is to do some experiments of my own and bring these meshes into Gravity Sketch and start chopping them up and using for inspiration. I don't know what the future holds for us modellers - I can imagine clay modelling may become a thing again as people revolt against the "ai produced" in search of something altogether more artisanal...

@@sculpt3d.digital Big changes are definitely coming. We should adopt these methods into our creative workflow. There are too many different platforms and it seems like we are jumping between those platforms too much. What we need is basically one solid strong ai tool that covers most of the aspects in the best way. Another thing is onboarding these systems into big corporates take too much time but small companies will adopt better, it seems. Thanks for the comment 👍

I don’t think it will overtake sub-d. But it will definitely speed up the process a lot. When doing exteriors I usually start with the base meshes of my car primitives addon, which already helps, but of course it needs some hours to get a sketch in. Using AI to get a mesh is a nice way for getting a more detailed model. The NVIDIA tool also looks great in that regards and it can output a low poly version with decent topology so one could do changes quickly. Looking forward for those tools to be actually usable in the near future

Anlatımınız için teşekkürler ❤

[@borazeytunlu963]

As far as I got it, it would be a sure-fire way to be replaceable in the competitive car design industry if we learn only how to use subd modelling 😅. Thank you for this highly informative explanation, Sir 🦾

[@somehowidesign]

@@borazeytunlu963 thanks Bora 👍 as if it is not enough competitive field, these tools are the new things we should learn additionally 😂😂

[@borazeytunlu963]

@somehowidesign at this rate, it seems we'll be snowed under with all new tools and the other things like that 🤣🤣. You're welcome🫡🦾

[@riccardoanzaldi359]

Thank you for the video really interesting. Honestly i´m not sure it will replace the Sub-modelling entirely. Especially if the Sub D will be futhert developed. Anyway very exciting times

[@somehowidesign]

@@riccardoanzaldi359 even this level really speeds up subd modeling process. I could have saved up at least an hour if I applied that before I’d modeled jagu00 😅 thanks for the comment

İsra ve Mirac gecemiz hayırlı olsun.teşekkürler elinize sağlık.yapay zekanın bu hızlı geimi ve olası hedefleri tasarımcıları korkutmalı mı

[@somehowidesign]

Teşekkürler sizin de kandilinizi kutlarım. Yapay zekayı çalışma yöntemlerimize adapte etmemiz gerekiyor. İlk etapta yapay zeka yetileri de artık belli başlı rollerin işe alım kriterleri arasında yer alıyor olacak ya da çoktan almaya başladı bile.
