Ok guys, this is a shot in the dark, but would I love to get some insight into what the automotive cgi companies are doing to to get such amazing results, company’s like gloss, taylor james, npix, recom etc, Also form my research all the German studios seem to have a very similar look to their imag…

[image] New York Office Space Well you render ur IBL just like any other IBL. Then you add extra lights to fill the blanks or tweak HDR if u can in hdr studio. I more often tend to do the 1st option using extra lights rather than adjusting IBL. On IBL maybe I just do a tweak on sun power but I us…

Hi John, Thanks for the reply, thats excellent advice, I didn’t expect much comment on this thread but I’m really happy with some of this info. And yes it would be excellent to see those Porsche shots in raw! Would help hugely! I think the hardest part is getting the paint right personally, and Jo…

[image] Vrayshadowmaps? I think the hardest part is getting the paint right personally, and John the Porsche shoot is some of the best I’ve ever seen. Would the bodywork, rims glasswork be all separate lighting setups? No, not at all. It was almost always rendered in one pass. The only excepti…

[image] Vray Distrubtion bucket error I’d be interested to see what some of the raw Audi renders at PX2 look like, if you’re allowed to show any. I don’t have permission to show any of the Audi’s I did, but here is a comparison from a render I did at Jung von Matt ad agency in Hamburg. The ret…

Here are my answers to the questions from the first post, by the way. [image] On another topic How much does this type of work rely on the real cad data of the cars? Almost all the work I do in the automotive business relies on data delivered by the manufacturer. Mostly this is a tesselated M…

Place highlights the best in max! :- ) wish maya had it haha

We’re doing a lot of car jobs too and like others have said. Cad data is provided for most of them and there is a lot of post involved. But like koso I like to do produce good looking render (for the amount of time I have) before post gets the files. Lighting is a mix of IBL /HDR Studio/ Vray area …
