This car is just so gorgeous.
A few days experimenting with camera angles, materials and light. Doing my best to push realism and photographic qualities by studying work from people that I really admire (Johäll, Bakke, Nivalle).

Creating imagery that stands out is HARD. Finding that extra 2-3% that makes it feel real is HARD. But who goes to the gym to lift easy, light weights? No muscles are built from that. Practise should be hard and challenging, with many "repeat to failure" to really trigger those fibers to grow.

Same goes here. Don't be afraid of not reaching your goals. I'm afraid of the day I stop trying.

Just having a good time. Practise, practise, practise.

Full 3D, no AI and minimal post work.

Had to do one more in the same scene, just added a new groundplane with some big noise and some grass. 4 renderings comped together to get the right light and atmosphere.

I think the new Vanquish has some really interesting surfaces and just find it very inspiring. So while waiting for feedback from on another CGI job, I did these images in 3DS Max. They are full 3D without any AI. Just as a tribute to a great looking car.

Hope you find them inspiring!

Hi!

Not really focused on architecture, but uits still plays a vital role for the images.
A little tribute to a very beautiful car.

There is always room for improvement and polish, so what makes your eyes "itch" here?

- Scene layout & assembly in Max.
- Rendered with Fstorm.
- Vegetation from Maxtree.
- Car model from Turboquid.
- My own architecture.
- Carpaint from scratch.
- Lit with HDRIs from Polyhaven.
- Ground textures from Megascan.
- Proprietary LUTs.
- Minimal post.

Hi!

Just practising my rendering, camera and material-skills. The car is from Turbosquid, most vegetation from Maxtree and the rest is my own. Spent most of the time on light and materials. The car paint was fun but tricky.

Rendered with Fstorm as usual, about 15 min frame/7000 samples at 5k.

All feedback and critique is most welcome.

This is just a perfect setup for my daily needs. I spend my days in Unreal and Max.
The Dell U4025qw + Benq 27” 4k is such a nice couple.
My old second 27” recently starting acting up on me, so out it went and in came the Dell. Couldn’t be happier, it works so good. The Ultrasharp U4025qw has the perfect size and curve. Everything looks so good on it.
I never play games so I didn’t care about that aspect.
