A car is typically among the most expensive things that a person buys in their lifetime. The industry was estimated to be worth roughly $3.8tr in 2022 Cars are usually painted high gloss, so the shape of the car will affect how the paint reflects its surroundings. This is commonly called “highlights” and it plays a major roll in automotive design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/1646827794703-SZZHVXLQR6HJU83ON27T/clamshell.JPG What is a-class surfacing? - A-Class.. Probably the least known of these words “A” is referring to A-surfaces. It is an industry way of saying that the surfaces are on the visible side of the finished product. As opposed to the B-surfaces that are on the inside of the finished product. The “class” part is a way of saying; “these are standards and tolerances that apply” So A-Class is saying “The surfaces will be the most visible so these are the standards and tolerances that apply to them.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/1646831832985-WOLINO2W65R6867GYR67/surface.JPG What is a-class surfacing? - Surfacing.. this is just a form of modelling A common form of cad style is called solid-modelling, this treats parts in a more lifelike way where they behave like solid objects. But all CAD software renders only the surface of the parts. In a way of looking at it, all CAD models are hollow. Surface modeling or “surfacing” is just an extrapolation of that concept. In my line of work we only build the a-surface since that is where our expertise lies. The b-surface usually has a different set of challenges that are better suited for the engineering team. At the end of the project the A and B surfaces are joined together to make a solid part. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/944cc986-6183-43f2-b9e8-85f9bb37c9fc/ps3.JPG What is a-class surfacing? - What it means I don’t want to come off as elitist but the simple truth is. The only reason my job exists at all is because cars are in a league of their own. These are probably the most scrutinized surfaces in any consumer product. They require both tools and skills not typical in product design. To add to that, more and more technology goes under the surface for every passing year. A side mirror used to be a mirror in a frame on a swivel. Now it also includes, adjustment servos, several cameras, heating elements, turn signal, blind-spot detection, puddle light, power folding and circuits to control and monitor it all. This usually has to get crammed into a space as small as possible and still look good. That is just the simple question of feasibility. Then we need to consider: production, assembly & service, legal demands for target regions, safety, ergonomics, aerodynamics and price. Last point might seem a little strange since cars are so expensive but I have seen very heated debates over a $0.1 increase in a part cost. In all honesty, in most cases the margins are pretty slim. It is a far more vulnerable market than people might imagine. A new car is pretty much at the top on the list of the things people don’t buy when the economy takes a downward turn. https://www.surfacingbylinus.com/a-class-practices daily 0.75 2025-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/1646843926390-TC8KPV5KGPKB1S3CS81K/mesh+and+nurbs+2.JPG Automotive a-class practices nurbs and mesh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/1646910574052-U0NL3C9B65EA5OBNEF89/513228_title__55368_eCvDD4RhE.jpg Automotive a-class practices - Make it stand out Old-school spline ruler https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/1646913731244-IK4CN4Y104FKH3PHAHJ6/CV+spline.JPG Automotive a-class practices Bezier curve https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/1646922491110-B6SQ1CCBG2I47SIX9NTV/mesh+and+nurbs.JPG Automotive a-class practices - Make it stand out nurbs and mesh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/1646927529275-YJQUFI3OC5LVKKZH1V1W/G0.JPG Automotive a-class practices - G0 “Position” The two edges are touching. G0 is the lowest level of tolerance when surfacing. If the surfaces aren’t touching (within tolerance) you won’t be able to treat them as a solid object and so they can’t be produced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/1647244176442-D615F0E7MH8YPUMT7WKA/tangent+lines.JPG Automotive a-class practices Unfortunately a tangent transition look pretty bad even in matte or grained materials. They cause what looks like darker lines at the transition, commonly called tangent lines. This is what I was talking about earlier. Since it is so commonplace I get a little annoyed by random things on a day to day basis; plastic bottles, appliances, electronics, peoples glasses, phones, trains, furniture.. I’ve even seen it on a building. If you enjoy pet peeves like these I would also recommend you look into “kerning” So how do you fix tan-lines? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/1646927787516-PPYQSXTUMJSY6QLKFGKD/g1.JPG Automotive a-class practices - G1 “Tangent” The surfaces have the same angle where they meet. This transition is often circular, it is relatively quick and easy to make and is (too) often seen as good enough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/1646927810126-9WF61QNJDLT12YZ43B3M/G2.JPG Automotive a-class practices - G2 “Curvature” The surfaces have the same bend (curvature) in the transition This is typically the transition we strive for in the automotive industry. It looks a lot smoother than a tangent transition. It can however still show a little bit of a tangent line if the surfaces the fillet builds on are too flat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/1647255561144-FJ4V3329TTU2YS09SYLU/G3.JPG Automotive a-class practices - G3 “Torsion” The surfaces have the same curvature change in the transition This transition is pretty much “invisible” it is mostly used for very visible edges, large transitions and flat surfaces. It is also a pain to build with. I try to remember what Renoire said “The pain passes but the beauty remains.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/1646927931941-KIGVAB45JVLUKB8CVHDC/transition+comparison.JPG Automotive a-class practices - Transition Comparison G1 at the top G3 at bottom https://www.surfacingbylinus.com/gallery-1 daily 0.75 2025-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/ddb3adc3-3581-4b68-bd2e-05d22e995910/personal.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/441966ae-4118-40ba-82dc-92babc44f426/Crafts.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/57499327-ea7b-418b-933c-1023952504cd/professional+cover.jpg https://www.surfacingbylinus.com/gallery daily 0.75 2025-10-14 https://www.surfacingbylinus.com/gallery/blender-projects monthly 0.5 2025-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/dd2d8d96-706b-46be-af90-63a47376ce1f/stanley.JPG Personal - Blender projects My first solo project. I had recently played a game called "the Stanley parable". In the game, little statuettes like these, resembling the player character "Stanley" were hidden hard to reach places. I liked the game a lot and decided the cartoon looking character would be a good solo challenge. I had a lot of fun with this one. Especially with the shading, like using geometry nodes to generate something that resembled text on the papers. As well as doing my best to make a grubby dull office carpet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/6769682b-1dc0-475f-aa35-ac3ec8be3963/donut+render.png Personal - Blender projects The obligatory donut.

I was 9 years old when PlayStation released the PS1. I would be lying if I said that is wasn't a huge influence on my life. Having said that I got to thinking what PS1 style graphics with realistic lighting would look like. Again I had a lot of fun with shaders for this one. Some geometry nodes to pixelate and posterize the shading. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/a817c007-385f-406e-9d85-7bd32a21cf77/moon+2.JPG Personal - Blender projects I found a high resolution elevation map of the moon on nasas homepage. I just knew I had to try it. I made it into a displacement map, wrapped it around a sphere and added a linear light source. Spinning it around the results blew my mind. This is not a photo of the moon, the shadows are part of the render. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/adfa30f8-02f7-452c-b75d-beb58081e976/moon.JPG Personal - Blender projects A close up of the moon displacement shader.

I was playing around with the thought of turning it into a table top lamp. Never got that far but I really adore the neo-retro feel and swooping lines. I think it has a lot of character. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/7276c942-9090-41c9-bb37-b54e91b28996/lotus+zill.JPG Personal - Smaller Projects "Zills" miniature hand cymbals usually used in dance performances. Modelled this for a friend. It's always good fun to model something that has a semi organic feel to it. They were later printed, then cast in brass. Because of casting I did my best to give it generous draft angles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/d86dd84a-a3d1-40af-83c3-17efddbde6dc/lotus+zill+2.JPG Personal - Smaller Projects Zills visualised in bronze.

I thought it would be fun to make a fancier version. Made out of birch bark, bronze and oak aged with iron oxides.

Art neuvau inspired. Silver. Made pretty early on. A bit lacking in technique but I'm quite proud of what I could achieved with very limited tools at the time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/b0f6a4b6-b373-49c7-ab18-7cae854e7ddf/20250107_105508.jpg Craft - Metal A friend gave me a broken watch for practice. I fixed it up (broken spring). Then it was a little too sporty for my taste so I made a new dial. A lightly hammered minimalist bronze, radial polish, silver inlay with proud 12h mark. Then I de-lumed, polished and filled the hands with black pigment, for contrast and to match the case and band. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/1917fba2-8ddf-46f0-a5db-ec97a092f6bd/20250609_202632.jpg Craft - Metal A friend asked me if I could design a historic looking locket for safe keeping of a replica coin. Very fun project, lots of problem solving and interesting challenges. Built all in bronze with a hinge at the bottom edge. I'm quite proud of the locking mechanism at the top. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6227c2de9cdd0a0fc88440bb/bf5fba4e-3a00-4ac5-9b2d-5eaeb3f0e0b6/20250226_235944.jpg Craft - Metal My sigil ring. I made it from a stainless nut and engraved my makers mark on it so that it can actually be used for its purpose.

"sea bag" since it's a little big to be considered a ditty. Very fun project since these were a rite of passage for a sailor. They were often used to show of their skills with different seams.
