Airstream classic
-
Yeah, I'm also interested about all the aluminum, gonna be interesting, best line up some good HDRi's.
update.
-
That looks great.
-
Lighting is everything when photographing a brushed aluminum texture. You want a soft diffused lighting with only a blank wall reflecting in the metal. Thea allows you to do anisotropic scatter which really defines a brushed surface. Some Airstreams are mirror like and others have the soft diffuse surface.
I also like the little teardrop trailers and wouldn't mind converting one to haul my photo gear.

curious what the render might look like - love the model!

I'm actually gonna put it in a scene, maybe a field with trees around, I will try get a late afternoon lighting setup and hopefully it will make the aluminum 'pop', being a 1954 model it is not the super shiny version so I will need to set the anostropy percentage around 40%, an Extinction coefficient around 3.7 and a low refraction index of about 0.15 (or play around until it looks about right)
This is the one I'd like, small, compact, can be pulled easily and looks really cool.

Have you thought about photographing a probe rather than rendering the entourage?
-
Well that was fast, I set up and rendered the scene (originally twice this size, reduced to post) in under 40 minutes.
Thea render, TR1, Hdri lighting and scene, Evermotion Tilia trees.

Beautiful work as usual. Now you need to hitch up a Smart car to that bad boy
-
Stunning work, very inspiring.
-
Great work
If you're going for full photo realism you'd need to add some subtle bump/normal/spec/dirt maps to those aluminium panels though. -
Sweet.
-
awesome, pete... that looks great. i can never get things to sit right in an HDRI scene (tutorial?
)its frustrating, because i've wanted to do this for my christmas card and i start and fail miserably and you bust it out just 'playing around'.

Amazing work Pete. I would love a six month road trip in that thing!
-
wery cool!!!!
-
that's nuts. Just awesomely real looking work. Nice one

That's some serious playin around.. Indeed
Beautiful as usual -
Stunning work, Pete. Hope you're staying indoors and keeping cool!

Good grief!
Un freaking real!Paul
-
captivating mood. very nice and clean render

Love it, Pete...are you on some kind of alternative living kick? (...first BoxPod, then this)
