Best Software for Car Design. ULTIMATE COMPARISON INSIDE!

[@BerkKaplanDesigner]

Seriously, what is the best car design software for you? Let's discuss further here!

[@allwinvlog]

Blender and Photoshop, sometimes ALIAS. :)

[@heroicmachine2716]

I like blender.

[@sahaksahakyan2404]

Oh, gods ! what a non-competent person you are in the 3D sphere. also give advice to other people... To begin with, Maya is not a standard for 3D modeling (polymodeling).for this purpose, 3ds max was created. Maya is sharpened for animation.also, many 3d designers use several 3d pockets at once. for example, a bunch of fusion360, 3ds max, zbrush. yes, in addition to maya and blender, there are also such packages as cinema 4D, 3ds max, fusion 360, shapr3d, etc. you can use a bunch of several programs. among the programs with polygonal modeling, the Blender is not the best, it's just free! and that cartoon nart, which you call "real time" rendering, is not physically correct rendering, and blender is not the only program where you can turn on a real time picture immediately in the viewport...

[@allwinvlog]

@@sahaksahakyan2404 Mr.Sahak, Berk sir already said that based on his experience with the tools and software was the video based on. The facts you are typing are true but i hope you listened to him carefully what he said, Have a great day ahead.

[@Crown_Unfiltered]

@@sahaksahakyan2404 Hey Sarak, It seems that you really know your stuff and you have mentioned so many different 3d packages - we are all very impressed. I fail to understand exactly what you have ranted about, though. I think Berk has been pretty clear on talking about 3d from the point of the Car Design Process, not specifically 3d or rending. He is absolutely correct in saying that Maya has (up till now) been industry standard for Poly Modelling in Car Design. In the process of designing cars, you are trying to crystalise ideas and realise volumes in 3d. You are also working out the graphical break-up of surfaces and showing material intent. Sometimes you are developing multiple volumes and would like to showing the variation between said volumes through a visual morph. Blender is an incredible tool for facilitating all of this. There is also a sketching element to the program that I have seen Designers using as well as an intuitive VR component. The general consensus is in the Car Design Industry, therefore, is that Blender is not just a free tool, but an incredibly dynamic one. Pay attention, think and listen before you go around attacking people.

[@armani5846]

I completely agree. Blender is a blessing. It has everything for modeling, animation etc. Only problem is part production. If you are designing a product, only use of blender would be visualizing the final result. Alias is a perfect surfacing/nurbs software. Solidworks is also an option, but it is more focused on mechanical engineering.

[@BerkKaplanDesigner]

totally agree!

[@Charlie-nb1xo]

With sketching you can resolve surfaces in your head much easier. In Gravity Sketch its either right or wrong and without a lot of experience its very hard to get the desired effect quickly. A sketch can be interpreted by anyone but if you're in gravity sketch its either right or wrong like I said.

[@rogerharsh]

Very helpful video ! At first when I wasn't heard much about blender , I thought it's a noob software but after practicing modelling it was so ausome experience with blender.. we can see many pro blender youtubers who easily render highly realastic shots better than softwares like maya , 3ds max which requires very deep knowledge..

[@spooky2466]

Plasticity (Studio licence) with X-nurbs its pretty easy to do surfacing for cars and very fun

[@thiagordooo]

its the fastest on hard surface modeling

[@alfamonk]

You should do an updated video. I would agree and add; Pen and paper / photoshop for initial sketch AI for quick iteration GravitySketch for quick translation into 3D wireframe and sketch modelling Alias / Blender for surface refinement Blender / VRED / Unreal for rendering

[@BerkKaplanDesigner]

thanks, I didn't try GravitySketch yet, I use Blender for quick 3D translation too :)

[@czr7j9]

The automotive industry uses A-Class surfacing tools like Alias then engineering 3d models (of individual parts) are created from the surfaces using NX or Catia depending what company you are working for. I have used blender at home and it is complicated but powerful.

[@ufuktekin9699]

I use Photoshop, Alias ​​and Blender. But in Automotive design you would have to do a section for mechanical modeling as well.

[@BerkKaplanDesigner]

Mechanical modelling? If you mean constructions or hard-solid models, I think it is not important for automative designers.

[@omer7464]

@@BerkKaplanDesigner why do you think it is not important for automotive designers?

[@simar7777777]

@@omer7464 i worked at stellantis group and i can tell u that is not

[@stefenbergdesign]

Thanks Berk! I’m an industrial designer and I am trying to choose between Rhino and Blender as a secondary surface + ideation software after SW. You really trigger me to go for Blender but every time I think if it will work with the production phase and if you can do the same stuff like in Grasshopper! Anyhow, great videos! Thanks for all the free advice and keep up! Cheers from Austria!

[@BerkKaplanDesigner]

Thank you Stefanos! Blender is amazing for ideation and creativity, you can model your ideas in 2-3 days way quicker than nurbs modelling. It is not for production that's true however i think it is worth to spend couple days first to be sure about your design and then you can model anyway in SW or Rhino etc.. Otherwise many designers struggle time-software balance and limit themselves because of this. Let me know if you will have any questions about my course or in this topic in general!

[@thiagordooo]

rhino has nurbs and subd and is way quicker than blender. also u dont have to worry about topology if u use nurbs and that is a huge time saver

[@roopamdas3515]

Thanks ❤️ 😊 love from India 🇮🇳

[@sebjochua5705]

Good work. I prefer ICEMSurf for Class-A modeling. I tested Alias and the quality of surfaces is worse than ICEMSurf. Maybe not on large patch. But on the fillet, Alias is not perfect.

[@NUCLEARARMAMENT]

Is this true even with respect to Autodesk Alias AutoStudio 2023? I would be grateful for your response.

[@nitishchaudhary6185]

I use procreate primarily learning photoshop as well

[@AskTheo_]

For Photoshop, what is the best device? Graphic Tablet? Photoshop on iPad? Or Touchscreen laptop?

[@BerkKaplanDesigner]

I personally use a graphic tablet and connect it to my laptop. So that I can use full version of Photoshop :)

[@ImFastrnU]

Blender is great...and free! I love Plasticity for hard surface modeling.

[@shreyashshirsat1848]

We really needed someone for all of these things to talk about and Berk is doing the perfect job. Thanks Berk after watching your videos i find myself more confident than ever before and that really helps me to be more productive.

[@BerkKaplanDesigner]

Great to hear man thanks!

[@CGcelestial]

I personally prefer blender, it's easy to model in it, you have subd tools, you can create an amazing environment and so much more. I started trying to design my own concept car in it too, and it's going pretty well!! The thing is, with blender, you can also experiment with abstract shapes and random decimate tools, to add a silhouette !! And then the transition of the silhouette can be animated until we have a base shape for the car!! So yeah, I agree with you 😂🔥 Thank you Berk!!

[@BerkKaplanDesigner]

Yes!! Thanks a lot! :))

[@CGcelestial]

@@BerkKaplanDesigner You're welcome!! You're cool

[@sophietarelka3900]

Hello guys, I wanted to share my feeling also. I’m very anxious about 3d softwares bc in my school we teach and learn with maya, and I usually work on it for pretty everything, but when I see the big amount of information and tutorials and curses about blender I always have impression that I’m using the wrong software, I’m afraid that all my knowledges about maya will not be that useful if I’m 5/10years when I will graduate and have a job, it will not be used to more and blender will dominate. If someone have advices or something to add or else,it would be a pleasure. Thanks all ! Good video !

[@BerkKaplanDesigner]

I know the frustration! Schools may follow the industry a bit slower.. I think and I see that Blender will dominate as the 3d for designers. What can you do? Well, you can always improve yourself! I was learning different softwares and doing extra projects at school. I suggest the same. School is never enough. And that's why I created my online courses :) you can learn from my website www.berkkaplan.com . And who knows what will happen in 5-10 years, focus on improving yourself now on the things you believe! Cheers 💪

[@omer7464]

Great video! I was wondering what is software is the most common requirement for a car designer job in car companies(like the big ones Ferrari, Bmw, aston etc)? Do they use Blender or other softwares are more important?

[@BerkKaplanDesigner]

It used be Alias however it is changing as I mentioned in the video. I don't know inside of all these companies unfortunately :)

[@DaLi_salt]

For my opinion, polygon softwares is not fit to do industrial design job, afford continious addition and substraction is really best solution to industrial thinking software , maya and blender are all not fridndly to frequent cutting and extending surfaces.

[@ZytheJR]

is blender really faster than Alias SubD for early model ideation? I might try it next! I wish SubD had a soft morph and smooth tools...

[@dadangtriarsaputra3833]

Hello I personally do a mix of everything you have illustrated, but i use rhino more than blender but I must say that you intrigued me and I decided to take it back. I have two questions for you. 1 why didn't you mention clay modeling? don't you find it valid for your way of designing shapes? or do you not consider it absolutely valid for some practical reason? 2 the second question is the compatibility of the files exported from blender which should all be based on wireframe (am I wrong?) and the files used instead in the "mechanical" c.a.d. that work more with nurbs files. With a blender file then there would be reverse engineering in a "mechanical" software? Thanks for your answers

[@BerkKaplanDesigner]

Hi, 1- Because I was talking about softwares, and clay modelling is not a software :) everybody likes clay model, at least every designer I talked so far haha, however you can't easily do it at home etc. Anyway, the main reason I didnt mention it is; it is not a software. 2- You can export files from blender as .fbx or .obj to import them different nurbs softwares. You can not use it directly and edit but you can use it as reference. That's what I do when I need it.

[@Ludovicodelia]

@@BerkKaplanDesigner Thank you very much ! for the answers you are right the clay modeling is not a 3d software :)
