Hi everyone, this is my newest work, one of my fav cars

modeled in blender and rendered in indigo.

the shaders turned out perfectly as expected
Rendertime was a little human ~3hrs but I have to cook it a bit longer,
a newer different version is coming up too
what do you think about it

wow !
Modeling and materials are superb. Good work!

Only thing i'd complain is the lighting. It's a bit too dark. Try to tonemap it to increase the overall brightness level.
Maby something towards this?

It's really a mather of personal preference though.
Otherwise - really nice !!

[edit] Where are the windshields?

Good job man!!

I would like to be able to model a car or something like human faces or human sculpture (v. "Aurora" of Michelangelo).
I'll learn... I hope!!

suvakas: cheers man, you are right about the tone map, but whats the glass

I think I set the IOR to 1.0, but it should reflect certainly, I have to look in a bit. thanks mate

radiance: thanks man !

CTZn: cheers

8bstudio: thanks man, and best of luck too

Camox: thanks !

a newer version is coming soon

Using an IOR of 1.0 will result in no reflection, 100% transmission, due to the Fresnel equations.

hey there Ono, that was quick ! thanks for the theory, my assumption was wrong

back to IOR 1.33
great job with the renderer man, cheers !

Posted: **Thu Dec 21, 2006 5:18 pm**

close... but 1.33 = water, glass = 1.5 or more

here is a new version, did a 6 odd hours

still some noise exists
cheers

Still a beautifull model and very good materials, and a nice render also, but it's a pity the front and sides are so much in the dark

It's mainly a matter of a lighter floor/background if I shall...

Or, well, that's the way you like it but I'm thinking that maybe your screen gamma is too strong or something. If you see it like le and like it, then fine
