it took almost 11 hours to render =D that's why I like personal works ..no time constraint !

I Found these great and free HDRIs with backplates and even tho I am archviz guy these days I couldn't resist trying it =D

the whole setup took about 15 minutes as I used ready model and just played with the car paint material
this is the first time I use Vray shadow catcher button and it worked flawless !
render took 6 min and with a bit of post production in Photoshop I get this result )

crazy nice, love the lighting in your work and attention to details

[M.Max]

Thanks ! I like to experiment with lighting it is just so fun to play with

[M.Max]

I couldn't sleep this night so I did this quick project =D
The backplate and HDRI areagain from http://www.automotivecgi.org/
Car model is from Evermotion and I re-worked on car paint and wheels materials .
I hope you like it =D

[M.Max]

A few renders to keep this topic alive =D
some examples for the modeling course that I teach online
I know that the last image isn't rendered -yet- but lets ignore that fact for the time being .

P.S is there away to change the thread name ?I want to remove "2017 "as I think one topic would be enough .

[M.Max]

Something I worked on for 2 nights for a small competition ..the idea was to make something dark but with a single key light ..or at least that what I think it is about
I'll post a breakdown later for the post-production and scene setup if anyone interested.
side story :
When we want to cheer some one and encourage him we say in Syrian Arabic "رحلها " which can be writing like this "Ri7la" ..the best translation that I can think of is "Go for it " ..and that what I wrote on the back-plate .

Very nice renders again man. Wooden shader ball looks great. Anything special in this shader or just diffuze+glossiness+bump? Details looking really great.

[M.Max]
