The life of an Alias Modeler in a real work processes starts with understanding the designer demands and understanding his/hers interpretation of the object that can be a vehicle or other industrial design project.

It starts with a briefing , sketching and then the Modeling work starts . There will be a number of modelers assigned to a project, each modeler making a different section of the vehicle.

Normally it is made with Class B surfaces, to achieve a quick understanding of the volume of the project. This shows the designer how the volume will look and most important, how the highlights will run on the surfaces.

This stage can take a few weeks until the designer gives his/her go ahead and passes the data to the clay department to make a physical scaled model.

VIDEO OF CLAY MODEL (CAD INTO CLAY):

The clay model is being scanned so the data will pass again for the Alias Modelers as a Mesh (Reverse Engineering) file  to make the  needed adjustments for the model, to change some design elements that in the “real” model don’t look enough to suit the designer’s requirements.

These processes will continue until the designer and Chief Designer, are finally convinced that this stage has been achieved .

After the head of the Design department gives the OK. to continue to the next stage the Class A modelers come into action and create the final model for the Clay department to make a full scale model (1:1 clay model).

The work of the Class A modelers is based on the Class B and the Mesh to create the final data for production. This process can take 9-18 months and include many design changes and several thousand Alias hours.
