Mercedes sls

Having seen cheddas nice citroen c6 images my finger tickled to render my favorite car. I found a very nice model here http://animium.com/2011/03/mercedes-benz-sls-amg-3d-model/
actually the model is a 3ds max file, so you have to convert it to use it in sketchup.
so here's my maxwell render

Neat !
A couple of things though, the tire is too deep inside the gravel and there should be a trail in the gravel !Nice details on the rims too !
Just changed the front bumper of a SLK with a bumper shaped like the SLR one,for a client. Came out pretty sick !
-
...it was lifted to this location by a crane, so there's no trail. also the crane dropped it from 2 meters height, so it sank in...
of course your right ely
i would love to see your work on the slk bumper...are you planing to post it here?
-
It was not much of a deal(the models are low quality-not needed high), the model is from the warehouse, even the slr bumper is from the warehouse, but I modified it to fit the old bumper seals, and also modified the hood a bit(with the client's approval). Most likely it will come to life.
If you have nothing against I will upload it here. -
of course not...feel free to post your pictures in this thread
-
Ok ! Here it is ! As I said, not much of a deal !

very nice modelling as always from you!
sadly i never have the patience to model more complex things like cars...i always want to render it and than forget about modelling while testrendering

Looking good Carloh, did you use the car paint shader ? If not you should it seems matt or is that the style ? The displacement on the floor is killing your render time i expect. It took me a while to understand rendering a shadow channel for under the car and compositing, i think it is the most convincing method using a hdri background. The wheels & dof look excellent. How big is your sketchup file ? These cars can be crippling. I recommend creating a proxy when your done editing.
this is the video i learned the technique from:

thank you very much for your hints and the video link Simon!
actually i did use the car paint shader but somehow the lighting kills the shinyness of the paint, but i thought it was okay because actually there are a lot sls out there with matt foliage on them. i must admit that i didn't use sketchup for this rendering at all. i loaded the .3ds file into maxwell studio and created a simple plane for the ground. the displacement of course increases the rendertime but as there is only the car geometry in this it was okay for me... i just love playing with displacement
i definetly will try the shadow channel solution!
