3D-Sketching with modelling clay 2: techniques, tips and tricks for automotive design (part 2)

This tutorial explains how to use modelling clay (industrial plasticine) for 3D-Sketching. It shows the working techniques and gives tips and tricks about the use of this malleable material which is used in almost all automotive styling studios but also in lots of product design and character design companies.
The tangible clay model helps to enhance and understand shapes, surfaces and functionality of your design. Additionally we show how photos of the plasticine model can be used to improve your Copic marker skletches or as a base for your Photoshop work.
In the video we use Kolb InDeClay (INdustrial DEsign Clay) which is perfect for small and detailled models as they are used in product-design and character-design. Due to it´s colour this clay shows extremly well shadows and therefore edges, surfaces and small details. Beside that the light colour makes it very easy to enhance photos of your models in Photoshop.
This is part 2 of 2.

Hello. What is the name of the red tool that you use at 4:56 ?

[KolbTechnology]

@filisp It´s a "Profile Master", which is used to take contours.

What grade (product) clay is this? It looks white??? from the look of the swarf and sound while steeling it sound to be a sulphur free lightweight or hard clay more suitable more for machining? Interested to know expecially because of the colour. I've used Kolb "Superclay" which is quite hard but really good to work and machine but its still brown.

[KolbTechnology]

You´re right, it´s sulfur-free and lightweigt: It is called Kolb InDeClay (more info about it on our website in the product section). This clay is based on Kolb TecClay, but has this special light-grey colour, which makes it fairly easy to spot fine details and therefore this clay is great for small and detailled models.

what is the material used ?? is it pur clay ? i always thought they use the redish color for modelling..

im third year industrial product design student and have two weeks only for my jury day.. will i be able to build this quality model in this period of time ??

im thinking to make it out of cork isit a wise thing ?

[KolbTechnology]

The material is called InDeClay and is produced by Kolb in Germany (visit our website kolb-technology . com to get more infos about the different types of clay we offer). Our other types have a brown colour. InDeClay was developed for Industrial Design and the light-grey colour was chosen as it is great for small and detailled models. It is pure clay. As clay modelling is a fast process and most of all one which offers max. flexibility for the creative process, 3 weeks should be no problem.
