Auto Car | Dodge Challenger Le Mans Concept Bo Zolland 2009 | What is the point of the internet? To distribute porn, of course. But what about after that? How about designing automobiles in 3D, posting them to your website and inspiring builders to turn them into metal? That's a worthy use of the internet, too, don't you think?Looking at the output of Vizualtech, the Swedish design firm created by Bo Zolland, you can make a few simple observations: He has a powerful computer. He has a very good 3D rendering program. He has excellent artistic skills, and, tying the first three together, he has very good taste.



In the world of custom cars and motorcycles, I've seen very good artists and very good craftsmen with no taste at all. They can draw or build the things they see in their heads, but what they see isn't worth the time of drawing or building. It's the vision that is rarest, and Zolland has a great artistic vision. I became aware of his work about a year ago when several different car sites posted images of his 2009 Dodge Challenger Le Mans race car concept. Since then I've been avidly searching for images of his work online. He has exceptionally good taste to temper his skill as an artist.

 

It's clear he's a fan of American cars and car culture, with plenty of hotrods, muscle cars and customs in his portfolio. But, perhaps not surprisingly since he is Swedish, he's fond of Volvos, too. And boats. He loves boats and has created several different beautiful watercraft.Vizualtech exists to create more than just 3D renderings of cool cars and boats, however. He creates renderings of mechanical and electrical systems for engineering companies. Car magazines commission renders for articles. Car customizers commission renders from him to help them with their builds. He produces several variations on each theme, giving craftsmen ideas to work off of.



I personally love seeing all the different ideas he has, from modern big-wheeled bling to nostalgic salt-encrusted hot rods. Cars, trucks, Indy race cars, hot hatches, boats, trailers, campers, motorcycles, he covers anything that strikes him as interesting, and I really respect that.Zolland has a website for his work, www.vizualtech.se/engelsk/, plus a HubGarage.com page. You can find many, many of his 3D renderings on both pages. But if you want good sized wallpaper quality images, then you really need to see the various pages at SeriousWheels.com that features his work. For some reason, some of these pages are hidden links.
