But these concrete plates are modelled. I suppose the wheel's are too deep down in the ground.

Probably not, I didn't expect that it was intentional though I understand why it would be. Well, we're left with a comment then: very nice old thing !

Ha, thank you! I like having the tires down in the ground, as it looks like the tires are flattened by the wight of the car. But I do see why you noticed it, because they are a bit too far down. Good eye! :P

My Koenigsegg is almost finished - been working on this render since yesterday, I don't even know if it's good or not anymore. :shock:

Nice, but it's a little dull. You could juice it up top gear style!

Please tell me how you did it! I like it a lot. Curves?

Tjenare Oscar, bilen ser tjusig ut men håller med om att scenen känns lite tom.
Tar resten på engelska ifall någon annan undrar ;)

Do you still use the 2 rendering and comp i PS to get the shadow ? I have been away from indigo for a while
so i just was wondering if there is any more refined method (shadow catcher) now supported in indigo?

Fix the white balance first. It's quite blue. Image > Auto Color works well as a start.
Then the curve in the attached image was used and some selective color to color the sky.
This should really be done on a raw hdr render and not an 8 bit image though.

Added a new image with better colors for reference.

Guessing you're using a backplate, so hdr tonemapping is out of the question.
Changing to 16-bit mode in photoshop before postpro might help some.

I get close, but not quite as good as yours. I think I'm going to let you have the last word on this one, and keep your version! :D

Thanks for helping - didn't know Auto Color worked that good, and the curve settings could work for many other renders too.

That looks... PROPER. :)
There's some heavy banding on the sky though.

Thanks!

You're right, it was there in the original backplate. What's the best way to deal with it?

Also - the carbon mapping on the headlights are screwed up - will have to rerender... :(

Lasso select the sky as close to the trees as possible then use the smart blur filter.
After that hit ctrl+f about 48000 times.
