Oscar's rendering thread

I finally got the carpaint working. Not sure if it looks better or worse though.

[tar_gniK]

Definitely better.

Its not carpaint for my eye, needs more work

[Oscar J]

I simply used Ono's carpaint and made the colour red. I really don't know what to do next.

Needs to be more glossy, even with soft lighting the reflections should be crisp

I uploaded two of my cars for sale. These are the advert pics:

Sorry Zeit, this is just a google image result from "car paint" not a render of mine im afraid!

I got a really horrible HDRI from a friend, who wanted me to render a car inside it. Not to let him down, I did it - but it required a lot of layers and a lot of editing to get an acceptable result.

C&C are welcome

Here's my old Agera, trying to break the top speed record at Nardo...

[Polinalkrimizei]

Wow nice (car and render!!)
really a very dynamic image, I can feel the speed

[Oscar J]

You like it? Looks a little plastic to me.

As you can see, a much better render is coming. But why is the PP AD looking like that? It's not supposed to be all over the car.

That are fireflies caused by the Sun interacting with the specular glass material of the car (caustics). As a "quick workaround" give MLT+BiDir a try...
Maybe somebody can give a better more complex and satisfying explanation -.-'

btw: don't forget to spin the wheels too

[Oscar J]

Brilliant Zom-B, thanks a lot.

I'll look into the Motion Blur thing.

Edit: Got it!
