In this bonus episode of his first VRED series, DGDesign’s Senior Designer Mike Turner walks through how he created a “retro wave” aesthetic to show off a performance-ready DeLorean model. (Mike’s already talked us through getting into VRED for bespoke automotive design, importing data from Alias, working with backplates and other rendering approaches.)

Model of a performance-ready DeLorean

Mike starts with some research on other DeLorean renderings, which all share a futuristic, racey, garishly-lit (ah, the ’80s!) look. He picks up on the geometric background and color palette to create a new way of showing off this iconic vehicle.

Yes, there will be more! We’ll have a second series of skill-building videos from Mike Turner over the coming months.
