Hi all,
just want to show the first full CG Packshot we did for a Mercedes Benz TV Commercial. It’s short and nothing special but 100% CG. It airs at the moment in Germany and Austria.
Credits go to:
Shading of the car: Markus Jäck
Shading of the floor: Me
Animation: Chris Godzik
Compositing: Erik Bochmann
Here’s the full commercial:

Very nice:smile:
WOW!!! You guys rock!!! Very nice animation.
BUT: are you sure that the licence plate is nailed onto the car that way? It looks very bended (oder eher geknickt).
Great !
Tell us more about the car-light effect. How was it done ?
Best regards,

Hi,
I wasn’t involved in the light effect, but as far as I know Markus rendered a lot of masks and light layers etc and the effect was done in shake.

Very nice Dieter, especially the warm colours on the floor that gently reflect in the lower panels of the car. Great job! :shock:
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!
nice one dieter and team!
The material on the car does look a little dull but the overall impact is spot on!
what you mean nothing special the thing is real nice!!! Havve you modeled the car or the guys at mercedes gave it to you?
Cheers!
this is very nice, is the mers modeled or scan?
Hi,
the car model is converted from the CATIA files. You couldn’t model as exact as this in a production period. I think some parts in car lights were remodeled.
Automotice clients want exact renderings of their cars. There’s even an increasing demand for measuring the exact car paint. Sphreron has a service (5000 Dollar for each paint) where you can measure the carpaint. You then get a mental ray shader with almost no parameters.
We asked Spheron if they are interested in porting the shader to VRay but they are not interested. But I expect that measured BRDFs are coming. It’s a marketing thing.
Best Regards,
Dieter
Excellent job
A clue for making such beautiful car shader ? 
very nice. Any tips on rendering cars! Beens truggling with Vray for ages getting the setup. Not a patch on that rendering tho! The mercedes blurred paint looks excellent.
throw us a bone! :roll:
the render looks fantastic. I’m downloading the movie from you site atm. I kept getting a 404 error from the link in your post tho.
