April 29, 2008 Cars Illustrations in vDream

The neatest feature, in my opinion by far, that vDream boasts is it’s car rendering engine. Now I know that when many of you car buffs out there hear the word “engine” you immediately think to yourselves, “how many liters is it?” or “how many cylinders does it have?”. Well, this is a different kind of engine.

The car rendering engine is the technology behind all of the 100% customized car illustrations in vDream. As you will see once the facebook app launches, each vDream user owns their own virtual car onto which they can install a variety of after market parts. Aside from affecting a car’s performance, many of these after market parts will affect the visual appearance of a car. User’s will have hundreds of ways to express themselves by stylizing their cars, including installing full body kits, upgrading their wheels, lowering their cars with after market springs, and hanging fuzzy dice on their rear view mirrors. You can even pimp your ride with a Boba Fett bobble head dashboard accessory!

Here are a couple babies that the car rendering engine has popped out as examples of what it is capable of and as a sneak peak of what vDream will have to offer.
