Sample Model for Rendering - Ferrari

[Carloh]

the ferrari model of the initial post is indeed not a good one...there are a ton of converted 3ds car models inside the warehouse which are more suitable for a comparison like this. not that i'm saying that sketchup cars can't look good...take a look at eliseis' work for example.

nevertheless, here's a rendering from me made with Thea from a Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series 3dwarehouse model.

Lets try to agree on a model. It doesn't matter that it was originally created in SketchUp, but rather that it can be represented with SketchUp geometry and can be rendered well with one of the SketchUp add-on rendering packages.

I we can get one more vote for the Jaguar XKR-S below, lets use that.

Why not use the one Frederick suggests?

[Al Hart]

That's the one I wanted one more vote for.

Lets use it.

Jaguar XKR-S

I am changing the name of this thread, and the link in the first post, etc.

in the streets of Paris... rendered with Thea unbiased TR 1 (rendertime 25 minutes), slightly adjustet contrast and brightness in photoshop.

who else thinks this car looks like a frog who just told a joke and waits for reactions?

Rendered with "Renditioner v3"

Just had to give it a go.

I used Thea4SU, rendered with Presto GPU MC, CRF Nikon D7000 only HDRI lighting on a shadow catcher.

Render time 3 minutes GTX 660ti.

Thanks for the quick responses to this. I have placed the rendered images onto the SketchUp Rendering site.

I will add more as we get them. Let me know if you want to change your comment or credits.

That looks completely real! Well done

[Krisidious]

I'm not very familiar with it... But here is an attempt with Revizto's new built in render engine.

wow, there are some reeeeeally perfect renders out here!

here is my try... still learning my way through VRay...

VRay for Sketchup, 9 minutes on my prehistoric Core2Duo machine
only color correction on PS

Nice overall scene - nice reflection on the car

What renderer did you use? Any other comments to add to the image?

[tadema]

Sorry Al, I used V-ray

sorry for the noob question, but im trying to learn VRay (slow process for someone used to Artlantis, lol)

how do i get softer shadows?
i used a "shadow catcher" material for the ground, and the standard sun light..
and i tryed to play arround with the 'size' and 'subdivs' of the sun light (in the environment tab), but i couldnt get softer shadows...

i suppose it can be done with dome light or HDRI, but i havnt got to that part yet, lol
is it possible with the standard sunlight?

[tadema]

Hello xonpt, Open V-ray output settings, open environment, open the Material Box and under Sunlight you can alter the sun size, bigger the sun the softer the shadows. Hope you can understand this.
