Hi, I solved that the picture is finished (but I don't like some details like car material, shaders, headlights).
C&C are welcomed

Hi coller_inc,

yes you are right, this has to be improved!
The model is nice, but try to play with the material, globally, this looks too much like plastic.

I am sure you can improve it

You have to play with material I think.

What are you parameters for the glass, the paint, and the chrome for example?

Regards, Phil

Thnx Phil for your reply.
Blender parameters:
car material RGB 0.13,0.36, 0.41, Ref 1.0, Spec 0.5, Hard 150
glass RGB 0, 0, 0, Ref 1.0, Spec 1.0, Hard 150, RayTransp IOR 1.33, Fresnel 4.0
chrome file cr.nk

The truth is near.

Hi cooler_inc,

I would increase the spec and also the hard much, make some test with a little resolustion, and you will quickly find a good sulution.
Perhaps is the light also a problem what are you using here?

regards, Phil

Hi, Phil!

There is a mesh light at the picture with car. And at the picture with cottege I used SunSky.

Now I made a couple of tests here are the results:

I used SunSky, White balance D75, Render Time is about 45-50min
Picture 1: Spec 0.7, Hard 250
Picture 2: Spec 0.7, Hard 511

So it still looks like a plastic

I tried to increase Spec to 1, but the result is awful

Any suggestions?

Heya cooler_inc,

I would say your specular is to strong and the exponent to low,
dunno but try something like this:

Code: Select all

		<material>
			<name>car_paint</name>
			<phong>
				<diffuse>0.486275 0.0313726 0.0313726</diffuse><!-- change the color to what ya like -->
				<specular>0.1 0.1 0.1</specular>
				<exponent>25000</exponent>
				<fresnel_scale>1.0</fresnel_scale>
			</phong>
		</material>

Hope this will help a bit.

take care
psor

Hi, Psor!

Big Thnx to you

I did as you say and the car material looks like it has to.

render time 10 min.

You're welcome! And as a sidenote, you can add more realism to the car if
you flatten the tires a bit where the car touches the ground, you know gravity.
Hope to see more pics soon! ;o))

PS.: Maybe a nice studio setup would look nice too. ^^

take care

Well, ... I wouldn't use it, it just renders wrong, Nick has to fix the code first
to get the dielectric .nk files to work. Non of them renders correct!

void .nk should look like this ...

Aha, ... so now you avoid the void ... looks good.

Hi, everybody!
I didn't see the latest posts and I didn't use void.nk
Here's my last render, but I'll do some tests with void.nk&2500000 exponent
