AMC Javelin 1968
3D Render by 3DClassicsModel created with a 25 years old Amapi6.1 ( ancestor of Hexagon ) and render in Daz Studio.
I am always fond of cars and trucks which have been designed when originality and creativity were important. Nowadays cars seem so similar...That's why I have three "real" vintage model in my garage to drive different.
The AMC Javelin is an American front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-door hardtop automobile manufactured by American Motors Corporation (AMC) across two generations, 1968 through 1970 and 1971 through 1974 model years. The car was positioned and marketed in the pony car market segment.
Styled by Dick Teague, the Javelin was available in a range of trim and engine levels, from economical pony car to muscle car variants.
American Motors marketed the Javelin as offering "comfortable packaging with more interior and luggage space than most of its rivals" with adequate leg- and headroom in the back and a trunk capacity of 10.2 cubic feet (288.83 L). There were no side vent windows. The SST model added appearance and comfort features, including reclining front seatbacks with upgraded upholstery, simulated wood-grained door panel trim, a sports-style steering wheel, and bright exterior trim for the drip rail and rocker panel.
Available only in a two-door hardtop, body style, the Javelin came in base and more premium SST models. The standard engine was a 232 cu in (3.8 L) straight-6. Optional were a 290 cu in (4.8 L) V8 with two-barrel carburetor, and a 343 cu in (5.6 L) V8 in regular gasoline two-barrel or high-compression premium-fuel four-barrel versions.
The optional "Go Package" included a four-barrel carbureted 343 cu in (5.6 L) AMC V8, power front disc brakes, heavy-duty suspension, dual exhausts with chromed outlets, broad full-length body-side stripes, and E70x14 red-line tires mounted on chrome-plated "Magnum 500" styled road wheels. A 343 Go Pac Javelin could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in 8 seconds, had a top speed approaching 120 miles per hour (193 km/h), and could run a quarter-mile in 15.4 seconds. The largest engine in the first few months of 1968 production was a 5.6 litre V-8 that delivered 284 SAE bhp, which made the car dangerously fast.
The car was longer and roomier than the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, but not the size of the larger Plymouth Barracuda.] Comparison testing of six 1968 pony cars by Car and Driver described the Javelin as having "a clean understated appearance that is not marred by phony vents, power bulges, mounds or bizarre sculpturing of whatever variety. The Javelin is an honest-looking car with a dramatic flair."[34]
Total production for the 1968 model year was 55,125.

Very nice model, especially considering the age of the software used to create it!
I remember the Amapi modeler, it was created by a company call Yonowat (the joke is: Yonowat Amapi, a reference to Tex Avery's Droopy character
) and was used to develop Hexagon, a modeler sold by DAZ... An old world!

Thu, May 15J'ai été testeur pour une version "bêta" d'Hexagon il y a déjà pas mal d'années! J'ai d'ailleurs eu deux versions gratuites sur CD qui sont dans mon armoire. Cependant, malgré ses nombreux "bugs", je suis trop habitué à Amapi et j'en fais quasi ce que je veux lorsque j'ai des plans assez précis. J'ai aussi été testeur d'une version bêta de Vue ( 7 ou 8 , je ne me souviens plus très bien ) quand je bossais pour eux et que je leur donnais mes modèles.

Fri, May 16Je n'ai jamais eu l'occasion de tester Amapi (je crois que le produit était payant à l'époque) et je n'ai jamais pu adopter Hexagon comme modeleur, je ne m'y suis pas habitué ! Je modélise très peu (à chacun ses compétences !) et lorsque j'en ai besoin, j'utilise Silo qui me suffit ou MoI 3.0 (modeleur NURBS) pour des choses plus compliquées en création... J'essaie de me mettre à Blender mais c'est un long processus, très long !
En tout cas, encore chapeau pour tes modèles !
