4 out of 5 stars Cosmic Motors Inspired Design   May 7, 2008
This is a great book for anyone looking for inspiration in the creative design field. The renderings were out of this world. I hope to see some of these creations in sci-fi movies in the future. I know the car on the cover is being used in a comercial for Autodesk "Digital Prototyping"



5 out of 5 stars A very inspiring book! Highly realistic renderings!   March 18, 2008

I really enjoyed Cosmic-Motors. As a 2d/3d artist I was inspired by the concepts that Simon created and his use of photography, 3d and 2d apps to bring his work to life. From scketches to final renders, his work is amazing and inspirational.


5 out of 5 stars One of the best book for desiners!   March 10, 2008
In this book you can find so much inspiration, Dimon Simon did great job! A lot of drawing by hand, Photoshop and Alias. All my friends(designers) which saw this book want to order it or already ordered...
Highly Recommended!



5 out of 5 stars awsome   March 5, 2008

I have to say that I am very pleased with the illustrations and drwaings that Daniel Simon has cretaed for this book. The stories are entertaining to read and the illustrations are great. If you are looking for clean drawings, you will find it here. A lot of 3D renderings are shown for the final piece of each major vehicle he produces for the book, but there are nice progression pages that show Simon going from rough drawing concepts, to refined pen drawings with photoshop shading to complete detail perfect images. If you are a car designer, want to be one, or appreciate them, you need this in your library.
