Alternate configurator renders of the other 4 FE colors

[EspritGuy]

It's scientific fact, as explained here

Have you noticed that penguin is sporting the Black pack?

After being frustrated with the lack of accuracy and/or realism with the official configurator, I decided to buy a 3D model of the Emira and come up with my own. These are my 4 best guesses for Magma Red, Hethel Yellow, Dark Verdant and Nimbus Grey. Nimbus is the one I've been having the most trouble with believe it or not, even though Dark Verdant was a royal pain to get more or less close to the samples we've seen. I'm still working with Nimbus but this is where it's at for the moment.

This is in a simulated outdoor setting with natural sunlight. All 4 of these are the same other than paint color, i.e. Black Pack, tan leather seats, silver forged wheels, yellow calipers. I'll do some more with different caliper colors, black wheels, diamond cut, and different angles, etc. but this is to start. I'll also do some in a studio light setting, as well as maybe inside a parking garage or something like that.

The idea here is to give people a more realistic idea of how the other FE colors we haven't seen on a car might actually look on the car. I'm not claiming these are absolutely accurate, but I think they're not too far off.

(I should mention that the model was created by 3D SQUIR and I did all the textures, colors, etc.)

ive seen all these colours outside and they are pretty good, but the red is way too orangey... not a close match at all, the others are VERY good

Well I have to say this was certainly an unusual request lol, but here it is.

Saw this on another forum and looked better than I thought!View attachment 3161

If you do this to a Honda Civic people will laugh you out of town, but some how it's perfectly acceptable on an exotic...

My attempt at a quick “World Champion” or “Fittipaldi” Emira render. I’d have one!

you can easily do that, wrap your car in black and do the accents in gold, heck, all you are getting different is a little stiching on the seat reat and a hefty price tag, BTW you are welcome!!

It wears it well! Reminds me of the two tone SF90, 296GTBs View attachment 9246

Tweaked the pic recently tweeted by Lotus Cars MENA to try to replicate the 007 Copper Fire Turbo Esprit in FYEO...

Here's one I prepared earlier (in July 2021!). Badging obviously works for the I4...

Hi Eagle.. I love your work. Would you help me out to see how some mods will look like on my newly ordered emira?

here are the details

nimbus grey
black pack
black wheels
yellow calipers
alcantara black interior with yellow stichting

as the black pack comes with black exhaust pipes.. i would like to change that to the titanium colour to stand out... is it possible to change that on your renders? I also like your yellow stripe color on the lower side skirts with the LOTUS lettering, maybe if you can add that stripe to the front black part of the lip below the license plate and on the rear diffuser aswel? Ive attached some examples and add the coloring (on my phone) to show what I’m looking for. All these on nimbus grey. Much thanks for your help.. can‘t wait to see how it looks.

I´m also thinking on my Nimbus to do something along those lines.
If you check the last video of the blue Emira from PB Racing in Italy, I also like the little stripes on the front air intakes

Do you have a link of that video?

Do you have a link of that video?

New video featuring some nice driving

About 4:20 in and again from 22:00 with pace notes! Probably the most exciting driving in an Emira I've seen - in this video it looks like the car I'd hoped it was. Of course I don't have those driving skills :LOL:

Here ya go.

This is as close as I could get for the back of the car. That lower black piece has all kinds of shapes going across the back. Where I ended the stripes, the plastic shape suddenly shifts on the bottom towards the front of the car, then shifts back to near flat in the middle where the backup light is. There's just no way to extend the stripe all the way across the back like you drew. Also, the ends of the strakes on the bottom of the diffuser don't completely connect to the upper back piece. They're two separate body panels, and the ends of those vertical areas curve under. There's hardly a single simple shape on this car, but that's probably why it looks so good.

Thank you so much @Eagle7. The first 2 renders look great and as I was hoping it to see. Thats for sure gonna happen on my. I think the color from the rear looks a bit darker then the sides due to color/shade right. Great work and thanks for your time.

You're welcome. Yes the color on the back is the result of the sun angle and shadows. I agree the front and sides work, but I'd leave the back stripes off.

 

[Concept24]

Would it be possible to show the Dark Verdant with low-in-the-sky sun hitting the car's side? I think that will really bring out the color.

Well done on these renders. I really like what you have done on the side. Any ideas where you’d get those letters from?
