New Range Rover Evoque
Replacing an icon.
The first Evoque was a successfull product, opening a whole new category in the Land Rover line-up.
DNA
When came the time to replace it, the already established DNA has to be kept. Short rear overhang, long front overhang, rising beltline, muscular shoulders and the floating roofilne contribute to the charisma of this car.
From Sketch to Reality
Early photorealistic 3D sketches.
The ability to quickly transpose 2D shapes into mathematical volumes in few hours is a strong asset in the design development. Here is a 2 weeks work from sketch to render, blocking the key volumes with simple graphics to capture the essence of the drawings.
Hybrid technics
The design process is considerably faster with this quick images (half 3D / half sketch). They solve drawing interpretation and they still keep a very emotional touch.

Clay Design Reviews
Many months working on the model are always necessary to refine lines and surfaces to cover hard points while keeping the theme.
Stance is everything !
