Enzo Ferrari called it "The most beautiful car ever built".The Jaguar E-Type, Jaguar produced from 1961 to 1975, was a breakthrough vehicle for the design, handling characteristics and aesthetics, in advance of the times in which the car was introduced. Its price, lower than that of competitors, contributed to its success, with a total of 70,000 cars sold in the 14 years that remained in production.
I tried to replicate with high fidelity the series 1 Roadster hardtop version. Starting from the blueprint I tried to recreate the maximum volumes, and then thanks to several reference photos found on the web I've taken care of even the smallest details.
The model was made entirely in blender 2.72 cycles render. Post-production was done in Gimp.
I have to thank Harniman for the HDRI and backplates.Hope you like it, you can find more of my work at www.obliquodesign.com. You can also find this post on BlenderArtists.
