The first step is to make a number of quarter-sized models in clay, illustrating different design options and directions.
Each is considered, and eliminated or approved, through a process of meetings, until the best are left to be produced full-size in clay.
Digital and clay modelers work side by side: as the shapes are rendered on a computer screen, they are simultaneously produced in clay, turning a graphic into an object that can be touched and examined.
For the Nissan Note one goal was to use the design of the rear of the car and the detailing on the doors to make the car feel sporty.
It is many hours and days of work before the final touches can be put on the completed model. It is wrapped in a special plastic sheeting, covering the clay and making it look like painted metal.
