      Thanks for your comments I agree with them all. I have only been using Sketchup for a week and am finding it to be a bit of a pig when working with complex models. Im finding modeling tools and texturing/UV very limiting but this could be because im still a SU noob. Im will spend some more time correcting the materials when I got some free time.

          WOW... it looks like a photo to me. Is the background an image or modeled?

                  Thanks for feedback, I have been using 3dsmax and maya for several years now so have a fair amount of rendering knowledge. I used the new beta version of Shaderlight to create this render which should be available very shortly. In terms of scene setup this was very simple, just a HDR file for lighting and reflections and backplate photograph taken on same location as the HDR for seamless integration of truck into backplate.

                    Nice render. Granted there are issues but all in all it is really pretty good. One thing that stands out is the shadow or lack of dark shadow under the truck. It should be far stronger than it shows. Does shaderlight have AO controls?

                      Yes I agree the shadow does look a little to thin now I look at it. I think I could improve this by rotating my skylight a little though, I will try to get another render up this week with some material and lighting fixes. AO is not in the current release im using but may be in up coming releases.

                        Bloody hell! What a great job!! Good on you mate for trying out that combo and achieving straight up a pretty darn convincing image, can I say this though without offending - darn ugly truck, looks like a beast!
