      Another car from me, an Aston Martin DB5 1963. Sketchup & maxwell as usual. I tried to create a backplate and sharpen it from the hdri following Olishea's advice. C&C welcome as always.

      link to model:

            Not sure this is the proper color for an Aston Martin, is white isn't it ?
            They are usually silver.

            Pretty nice though !

              Yes silver is the popular colour, it came in a light blue which i adjusted. I expect it's too light should be more this colour:

              Thanks for the comment.

                really nice Simon! πŸ‘
                the only thing telling me that it's a rendering is that little white shine around the tires...i don't know what is causing them.

                i just rendered a nice aston martin rapide model and if you don't mind i would like to show it to you here? i don't want to flood the gallery with all the car threads πŸ˜‰

                        i liked the dark atmosphere of the industrial warehouse HDRI so i kept it quite dark...maybe a question of personal taste. but thanks for your suggestion ely! πŸ˜„

                          I have used that hdri in some of my renders too. What is a bit bothering is that,as you can see, there is a hard light reflected on the left side of the hood, and I think that with that much light reflected there is almost impossible that the car remains so dark.
                          I also thought you like it this way, perhaps a better resolution render would have made it justice with this setup.
                          Cheers !

                            It looks good Carloh, matching the scale & dof of the floor to the background is the only problem i see. PS i'm also working on a Green Vantage from another source watch this space !
