I haven’t done a car that wasn’t for a job for a while now, I started this model last summer and had to get around to finishing it as it easily one of my favourite classics.
I used some of my own photos for the wall textures along with a couple from mayang.com, and the HDR is from sachform.de..
cheers 
amazing render and modeling.
:shock: 
I like very much your image and ambiance.
stunning! love it!
is the lighting purely HDRI?
nice. Congrats on being selected for the front page of cgtalk.
thanks
s0real : it is a hdri skylight as well as a direct sun light
Nice to see a classic car rather than protoype cars.
Really well done
I’ve always wanted to model a car, but never had the time…
Gave you some stairs on CGtalk
Geoff

Excellent :shock: :shock:
I love your job

Simply BEAUTY… 5 Starts…
can u share the CAR-Paint… really gr8 looking…
EDIT: is this a V-Ray render, 'cause i looked at ur WEB, and saw U are using also M-Ray… ???
:shock: stuning work, congrats. By hdri skylight, you mean just putting an hdri in envirronment slot ? Damn i must try hdri stuff. Keep up good work
yeah Id like to also know what kind of carpaint shader was used.
Also, and it has been said on cgtalk, the aa is very visible on the door.
gj tho.
Damn, that cars sexy 
Beautiful render. Nothing to critique… perfect model, pefect lighting, and I love the style of it.
How about an animation? :lol:
cheers
ya it is vray, the car paint is just usual fresnel falloff, although I was using a shadow/light falloff for the diffuse, I think it was verrry subtle and not doing much at all in the end
and I used a shellac material to get a proper specular on it instead of using the useless spec in the vray material…is it just me or is it pointless? would be 100x better with just standard manual controls imo
heres a wire
simon, I wouldnt say its totally useless, but yeah I like more control so I use highlite only or other specs with shellac
What do you mean by “useless spec” in the vray material?
Do you mean the highlight glossiness setting?
davision ya..
you can control the glossiness but the strength is just controlled by the reflection right?..
I mean fair enough that is supposed to be “realistic” but usually its way too strong I find
Okay… I know what you mean about the strength. However, I honestly don’t use h.gloss since I leave it locked to the reflect glossiness.
I thought the whole point of Highlight glossiness was when you wanted to do ‘fake’ speculars and didn’t want to deal with raytracing the true reflections. Since your image has HDRI and a nice reflection map -- why do you need to mess with the ‘fake’ speculars at all?
Granted, I’m speaking from theory (at least as I understand it) and not practice since I don’t use h.glossiness as I said.
Wow :shock: :shock:
Great modelling and render as well
How long did it took you to model that car?
can you show me exectly what you did with the shallec mat in order to get those highlights?
Oh.. that’s awesome!!!
GR8 work man!.. just i don’t see James Bond somewhere.
