The breathtaking future of automotive visualisation

[kosso_olli]

Do you guys remember chrysler, that shared their meshed cad models with community ? I have 'em, if that will help to profile rt for a better experience.

Can you please upload these scenes somewhere?

So the sample model is very light compared to what we have to deal with at the moment!

The secret to great automotive rendering is great retouchers
Don't get me wrong, you need to understand HDRLS and Automotive lighting quite deeply but any Automotive CGI artist in here will tell you the raw render(s) and the final render are worlds apart

This ^^^

Our lighting artist at Staud worked in the photography studio for 25 years before ditching the camera for a computer. He lights the car as he would a real car (rather than take advantage of features such as excluding and including objects from lights - although in VRED this is rubbish) and the renders always look amazing- but our retouchers really do make a difference. In a perfect world I'd be prepping, shading, lighting, rendering and comping my own renders but when you've got 20+ shots per car... no chance.

And I'm sure the photography required an equal amount of retouching. They don't do it like they used to, spending 3 days on shoot setting up all the lights for that final click, I wish they did, CGI artists could learn so much from those times!
Now it's 25 images of lights all over the place and the retouchers have to blend it together creatively.
