Thank you very much. It is a little bit too dark on the left side, i think. Greetings

Hm,
maybe there's still some work to but into the shaders.
In my opinion, car paint shader is something really tricky in Indigo.
Did you check the tyre rubber material from the MatDB? It's a really cool start. Combined with a dirt map, displaying slight dust on the tyre profile, it's getting very realistic.

Go on!

Hi zeitmeister,

thank you for your comment! I will try it with a little bit of dirt. I have used the tyre rubber material.
You are right, I find it is very difficult to get some good car paint. You have to tweak so much and if i ask some people, one say it is to shiny other say it is to matt. But there is still a lot of work to do. I will get this car in the nature or a parking lot.

Greetings
Christoph

I agree with the above comment, I am not sure about the wheel and tyre shader. I dont think there is any issue with the paint one, I would expect the reflections to be sharper in some places an maybe brighter.

If you were able to add a displacement map to the tyre wall and give it a brand, this would improve the over look of the tyre because I guess at the moment it looks a little plastic.

I hope you dont mind my constructive critisism. Overall I think you have achieved a highly believable render.
