Case study
I have to rewrite my case study.I think to make a case study over car design so I find Indian car designer dilip chhabria  for a subject also I wrote about processing of car designing.I always love to do car design i brought a book on this subject that book helped me to write this case study.

Dilip Chhabria is a person who has always thinks about creativity, and a pioneering personality in the field of Indian automotive industry. In 1993 Dilip Chhabria set up Dilip Chhabria Design with aim to offer prototyping services to Indian automotive industry and customized vehicles for the individual buyer. What had started one man’s passion for cars has today evolved into an organization of over 400 designers, engineers and highly skilled craftsmen. In a span of 19 years the company has built over 700 concepts.

This is the car design book that mainly helped me to understand the design process of auto motive designing.

Today after noon we started with other half of the video of Pixar. After watching full I understand that the beginning of pixar animation studios was so hard because back in the 1980s  the 3D technology was just started also much more people wont accepted it. Mainly Disney played a big part in this because first time when Disney heard about the 3D they were also rejected it.Disney was doing 2D animation films that time there are lots of 2D animators there career may be in trouble because of this new 3D animation.

After the video Neil showed us and talk about Key Milestones of the last century that's mean How 3D change the industry or most important achievements of 3D animation and designs in movies.Neil showed us power point presentation.This presentation was about key milestones in 3D. I stated my own research on key milestones of 3D.

Key Milestones of the Last Century

The computer generated imagery goes hand in hand with all history of computer. this history makes CGI effects possible  as seen in today’s world First ever computer generated imagery animation was made back in 1968 by a group of Russian scientists, mathematicians and physicist . it was a mathematical model of a moving cat across the screen

I am showing above the image of that 1968 cat animation from here to this day CGI made the impossible things to make us believable.
