mercedesbenzAbelardo Perez Santiago shows his prowess with 3ds Max by modeling a classic 1936 Mercedes Benz, and describes the process in a new “Making Of” over on CGArena.

Today we have programs that simulate almost everything: aerodynamics, ergonomics and comfort of occupants, safety before an accident, etc… but all this was unthinkable in 1936, the machines were not manufactured in series. Undertake a project like this required a team of authentic master craftsmen who made up a puzzle master, and where each of them left their mark artistic designs printed on it reflected. The attraction that each of these unique work of art has on the observer, is so seductive that induces you to go on the pleasure of the unique details on each model. The choice of this model was motivated by the spectacular design and myriad of details.
