Not half bad Exar. Now you can see why I make my own wheels

What program are you using Exar.

I've had a fiddle with Blender so far, and just getting a Skin on the model seems unnecessarily complicated

Studio Max dude.

I just downloaded the model linked to somewhere here and chucked materials on basically. Everything was mapped already.

I use lightwave but Max plays a little part for me. I use the plug developed that allows Max to import CMX files and then I export it from max into LW. When I first started doing these I was creating all the UV maps myself

Once I worked out that I didn't need to I was both relieved and pissed off. But I learnt a crap load about how the LFS devs go about their UV mapping.

Like I said to you before Hz, best skin I've seen in a long time. Can't wait to drive it.

Great renders fellas.

green machine looks awesome Hz

Righteous · Post by **Righteous** » Sun Dec 09, 2007 9:06 pm

It's a fantastic skin HZ... It certainly looks the part.

I'm sure if I had a look back through the thread I could find you a few renders with DOF settings. I remember repo did one for the PRT BFR. Just off the top of my head

Here is my Final one for today.

Man it takes a while to get things the way you like em.

Fixed

pics not showing righty, any chance you can do the AR skin on the same position and settings as the FMR one, looks sweet as

Righteous · Post by **Righteous** » Sun Dec 09, 2007 11:27 pm

I'll do one up tomorrow Shaun.

Shaun · Post by **Shaun** » Sun Dec 09, 2007 11:40 pm

Indeed... And unlike most of this tread the image is actually still hosted somewhere! Possibly the worst skin I have ever seen. Spent more time working on the render then the skin :P

Nice stuff Righty - really like the BMW one. I'm going to have to make some proper wheels for this one instead of using some borrowed items.

Righteous · Post by **Righteous** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 5:20 pm

A nice DOF example

Post by **Hz-Lab** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 5:26 pm

Righteous thats fkn amazing, but i have a question..
.
Why go with chrome wheels? i think they look out of place on a race car.. is it because of the reflections they create? or just your personal bling favorite? :P

Righteous · Post by **Righteous** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 6:16 pm

Personally mate I don't like it

But it seems everybody luv da chrome

I much prefer a matte colour or something like that

People tend to go ohhh shiny

I would like to render out a "focus pull" I might do one tonight. They have just updated all the DOF and Motion Blur stuff in LW. It looks pretty good these days

I can replicated any camera and lens, I have a shift camera at my disposal, I can alter f-stop, shutter, iris, diaphragm you name it. So for all you photo nuts out there I can replicate all your settings and get an identical look

I have attached a pretty simple one I had done a while back testing out a few new settings

Post by **Hz-Lab** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 6:28 pm

ok smartarse.. where's the reflection of the photographer....

replicate my left foot

Righteous · Post by **Righteous** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 6:35 pm

It's a funny but serious thing HZ. The problem with trying to do photrealistc renders is that you need to allow for human error, which essentially is making mistakes on purpose

the best "Photo real" renders are the ones with imperfections.

Yep, exactly. The v-ray renderer I use has the same deal with the camera dude. That DOF shot I did above has f-stop of 1.2 and 1/300 exposure, for example. You usually use the camera in conjunction with a "sun" so the camera settings are slightly closer to what you would use in real life. Also not big on the chrome.
