Thanks for the links and video Pilou. I'd prefer free but the link you gave me seems like a dead end. This is the best paid version i've found:

The last render in the outdoors looks incredible. Worthy of any commercial/advert.

Thanks Bryan, i would have liked to add a bump to the tyre wall. Just not sure if it's possible in the plugin getting the mapping right.

Very nice render, Simon.

Two questions for you if you don't mind. How did you match the background perspective and the car? HDRI with background plate?

Thanks,

_KN

Ken i have matched hdr's to background plates before they can be tricky to get right. However in this image there is no back plate it's all HDR for everything. The perspective was basically trial and error. i got the car how i wanted it, then moved the the HDR until it was close and then fine tuned the car position. It was actually quite easy, the hdr is from the dosch car backgrounds collection.

By the way Ken there is a specific calculation and geometric way of setting up the camera etc. It often helps if the backplate has all the camera and lens details. The recent competition with Maxwell & Maground posed this process of matching the back plate to geometry and lighting take a look in the forums there:
