Who has a software 3D model sketch file of a R75?

[Azur]

Hi, does anybody have a software 3D model of the Rover 75?

Furthermore thinking, the Rover-company had them ofcourse, and all of the individual elements where in 3D models designed. Now, with nowedays 3D printing available....could mean something for all of us?

You can buy them, but I very much doubt any are available in the public domain (i.e. free)
Here's an example: https://hum3d.com/3d-models/rover-75-1998/

I understand the amount of time and work that's gone in to it, but its a shame its so expensive, and the wrong model for me personally. Unless you can get a group together to chip in for the file and have some printed, and someone else handy in cad to draw up different wheels and make a customisable kit out of it.

Indeed, but even a seemingly simple job would require a 3D specialist/designer who wouldn't be interested below £100/hour. About thirty years ago I was into LightWave 3D by Newtek, but an accurate model of an R75 wheel would be way beyond my ken. I guess there might be a member here who uses a LightWave, Maya, etc. 3D system professionally who might help?

Yes indeed, it all depends on the quality of the model and the price. I have been doing a search on the net, and find out that for a detailed model including the interior a price around 700 euro's is asked. I have done a recent project at my work, to 3dscan complete buildings. I will have a look if it would be possible to 3D scan my own Rover 75. One of my purposes would be to re-create a scale model printed 3D in scale 1:18 of the car, and thinking in the future when spares would become less avaibleble, 3D printing of parts would be a possibility to re-create parts needed.

3D or laser scanning is going to be the best option. Just directly scan the car and you should have detailed framework that you could scale.
You shouldnt need to bother creating anything with cad, just scan an example of each wheel for example. Most of the scanners have an inbuilt camera so they can gather colour information too.

My day job requires just a little 3d work:




And I have never found a client who would pay anywhere near £100/hr.
Generally nearer £25/30

Has anyone thought of asking the question on the ‘ex longbridge workers’ Facebook group?

Someone may still have the files tucked away somewhere?

Hi Andy,

I guess these files must be somewhere...I do not have facebook, who could ask this in the group Trikey mentions?

looking for images for a model I am building, I stumbled upon THIS site, which appears to be suitable. Seems to be quite good value too.

ZT is in the list

Roewe too
