What is Class A surfacing?

- [Instructor] What is a Class A surface? A Class A surface is the physical manifestation of a stylist's idea in the real world. Technically speaking, it's surfaces that are highly stylized with very clean transitions from one to the next patch, as well as engineering considerations taken into place. There's a lot going on with a Class A surface. You'll find them all over a car, basically anything you see, you touch, you come in contact with, all over your house, in airplanes, and all sorts of products all around you. They represent the artistic nature of an item. It is the ideas, the emotions of the stylist, put into the real world. The stylist comes up with the concept and a digital designer takes that concept and puts in surfaces to meet those requirements, whether it's something big and bulky to represent strength or if it's something small, soft to represent tenderness, something that looks like it's going really fast while it's sitting still or something that looks like it's impossible to break. Those are the artistic and realistic manifestations of what a Class A surface is.
