maybe export the background minus the water and then the water on its own and adjust the transparency in pshop?

haha...i'll be totally honest and say that i am not always a fan of the bright bright colors you use Wink otherwise, they're beautiful...i guess i have sensitive eyes. cant wait to see if this progresses..

wow! is all i have to say..these are awesome, tom. i love the slight slight transparency...i've tried this before and have never really been terribly successful...these are great though.

nice...i just finally noticed this thread...congrats!

and welcome to the new members!

i dunno..in my model, the guy fits on the seat pretty well...you're saying the toilets too small for the guy?

here is a level change, which helps alot... going to make up a larger version..my background image was small to start with, unfortunately..

i did use the physical sun/sky the first time...but this time i used hdri's of the background for reflection/refraction..think that helped alot!

as far as the driver, it is actually correct...going by how the model was originally built...

sorry for the funky colors...

but i do like your idea..have it actually be the size of a toilet and have somone sitting on it? little steering wheel?

little update..changed the wheels/tires.. and added some reflections of the background image..and of course, a driver.. any help is greatly appreciated..thanks.

yeah..maxwell 1.5 now has a 'shadow channel' option.. so there was a plane on the ground with a specific material that only renders shadows.... so the original render + alpha render + shadow render..and paste over the photo in PS.. i do need an HDRI light source though for the chrome..

..found this model and felt it had to be used somehow Wink and then got inspired by some really cool images in the maxwell forum...

here is my first pass... missing a front wheel and driver.. also think it needs to be facing the camera a bit more? and a bit of blur to the wheels.. this is a WIP... any help is appreciated!

lol.. i will have to remind my good good friend about this ..loves pirates!... his company (shameless plug) http://www.pirateupholstery.com

there's gotta be like a water taxi or something to get you across to the beach..hha.

haha....yes.

it was a planned c section...but good thing it was b/c she was 8lbs 6oz and my wife is only 5 feet tall...they had a hard enough time getting her out as it was

ok...here is the update (a little belated)... Emmy Mae was born last thursday, the 17th....she's beautiful and everyone is doing great!!

and one more update, with a few minor client-requested updates..

wow...these are awesome..go podium.

i agree...these are definitely not bad.. i like the third.. the composition is almost there... just not feeling the right part of the image...keep going!

haha.. nice, i've got a big jump on mine just to make sure i didnt owe anything... so now i can sit on them until april

yeah, this is awesome paul! i'd agree with robert... a little speed might help... i know you want to showcase the detail..
