Rendering Workshop - Model Cars
-
Thanks, Al.
Ok, I decided to go for a "toy" look, so I applied a shiny plastic template to almost everything in the model, except the wood. I'm trying to capture the childhood fascination of crashing your toy cars.

-
i'll let this cook overnight and see what we get! i have a feeling the lights too bright in the cafe??

Oh, That's a cool one for shininess map as well!

I'll post the file tomorrow with a short animation (if my cat doesn't turn off my PC tonight). I have to go out early in the morning an I'll be returning in the afternoon, so I'll post it then. In the meanwhile, here's the bump map for the wheel. The background HDR is from this Deviant Art collection, it's the #21. Oh, and the girl will be a mechanical doll in this animation.

I generally (or rather "sometimes" - when I am not sure yet) let some topics cook for a while to see where they are winding and where they should eventually belong.
So keep posting and we'll see.

Thanks Gai, missed that one. Some incredible renders there.

Lit by two big vertical planes left and right, one with a warm emitting material, one with a somewhat colder emitting material.

Is this model on the 3D warehouse so we can all use it instead?

There are so many cars and tastes. I like these Ford T models for instance (and the youths like the mustangs nowadays).
Here is one as it looked when my grandpa bought it:
...and as it'd look nowadays:
BTW this guy Stanisław Ludwiński (aka "Bubus") - has some incredible amount and probably quality (at this first sight at least) of old car models. They are such beautiful than modern cars that they are also much more fun to render about with.

This is also good.
I was hoping we would get some good examples of how to showcase a product.
I think these two postings might have "set the bar too high" and will scare off people who can't do as good a job. I feel the need to add something on the lower end of the rendering spectrum so that people who are newer to rendering.
This is a "clay rendering". For a clay rendering, you make all the materials flat and white. It is designed to highlight the quality of the model, without the distraction of colors, textures, etc.

well i know when i'm outa my league but...
any tips to clear up the glass? i think you know which renderer i'm using
-
Use architectural glass > no shadow from the Templates. That should make it (or you can go to library > Architectural_... and select either of the architectural glasses (although warped would no have real use here as that would be good for reflections when it's lighter outside)
-
seems to be no difference. i had shadows unchecked in the common glass too. if thats the same thing?
maybe i'll ask at the support forum.

Just an aside as I see you adding cars to to the Hopper pics
Notice anything familiar in this Ford promo video (39 seconds in)

I was deleting the intermediate files of a video I finished yesterday, but I think these four look nice together. They bring back memories from the iMac era:
