    uniE621 ART CAR FOR BURNING MAN 2024
    My task was to model and visualize the decoration of a golf cart for the Burning Man festival, based on rough hand sketches provided by the client. I developed the design and produced photorealistic images to support the application process. The project began with a standard six-person Cub Cadet golf cart. The rear seats were removed, replaced by a custom-built flatbed made from plywood and covered in vinyl, designed specifically for hauling ice to camp. The build incorporates a variety of materials—metal, vinyl, cloth, wood, and plastic—resulting in a unique 'mutation' vehicle. LED lights were installed underneath the carriage to illuminate the ground at night and inside the cabin for interior visibility. The vehicle's 'eyes' double as headlamps for nighttime driving, with tail lights added for enhanced safety.…
