[WIP] Bugatti Brescia Type 13

[Rich O Brien]

Still doing bits to this here and there...

And some preliminary render tests with Thea

[Starling75]

This is really nice piece of hardware

[notareal]

Great looking model. Maybe try IBL and 'shadow catcher'.

[Rich O Brien]

Thanks for the comments

@notareal

i have used IBL but I'll definitely give the shadow catcher a whirl. But I've also been looking at this to see how the pro's do it. But that's way off

[notareal]

Why not to use some HDR studio then. I am sure zbyg's HDR studios are familiar to meny, those are available also as high res at here.

Mate that first clay render is IMHO an "ABSOLUTE STUNNER!!!

Sorry I had to yell it out loud!!!

Mate well done on this little project, just stunning work in detailed modelling!

[Marian]

Really nice, I love how the blue paint turned out.

[liam887]

that is special rich the colors came out just right! I saw you doing some tests with this in basecamp was wondering when you where going to post some stuff up.

[ken28875]

Really nice renders, Rich. Love them.

Keep them coming.

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

[boofredlay]

Dang these are looking great.

[Rich O Brien]

Trying out 'Shadow Catcher' and DOF with Thea. Really not happy with strength of the shadow or the tyre material so any feedback or pointers are really appreciated.

[solo]

Tried using the contrast in Thea?

[Rich O Brien]

Yep, this was given PS treatment with exposure,levels etc. Follow your vimeo exactly. Would the fact that my ibl is a jpg matter? These are only tests so I can get to grips with Thea.

Using jpg in illumination channel certainly can have a negative effect, better stay in full range HDR. Best option is to use a low resolution HDR in illumination channel (Image Based Lighting), very high resolution LRD in Background mapping and medium to high resolution HDR in Reflection/Refraction mapping. Maps just like you can find in sIBL.

[Rich O Brien]

Still fine tuning the materials and looking for a better/suitable HDR. It's true, thea is Addictive

[Bryan K]

Wow!

Er, I just noticed. The fenders aren't actually attached to anything, are they? Unless I'm missing something?

[Rich O Brien]

Good spot. I have modelled some but didn't like them. The fenders at the moment are too low poly so they're getting bombed too! Eventually it'll be done

[pilou]

Very nice car render!
