3D Sketching + 2D Generative AI for Car Exterior Design
summary
A workflow combines 3D sketching backbone with Photoshop and 2D generative AI to produce view-consistent car exteriors: four tuned 3D sketch modes (plane, surface, mesh, in-air), automatic pseudo-mesh reconstruction in ~30s to hide overlaps, and direct export to Photoshop for detailing and then 2D generation. Six professional designers create concepts for all 12 body types, averaging 1h20m to produce three 3D sketches, 13 2D drawings, and 46 renderings, switching between 3D and 2D every ~6 minutes.
