I am working on a scene and would like to use fog... Could someone point me in the right direction?

Yeah, just listen to the filleting nuts as fillets only require bias tweaking. Well I will say... I use both. As should we all. The trick is to figure out which one is required with each object. Though there is no substitute to higher geometry, it becomes a balancing act between "quality" and "render times". For Most still frames I say bevel. For more complex surfacing use fillet. Remember I don't represent Hash or any of its affiliates. Just my own 2 cents gathered from hands on deep in the trenches.

Here's an update. Rendered in toon. Still a WIP. Still gotta do lights and finish up the textures.

I did another scene for work. Its in another post. I think thats what your thinking of. Actually its the inside of this.

Well if I remember right, there are no 5pt patches in the entire model. 3 and 4, but no 5.

Thanks. I try.

Well as far as bevels.... Some corners are but most are not. It will be rendered with toon so many edges would be lost. I guess I should have said it was toon.

Heres an update... I found the decaled version. Its a toon render and the lights are still, not even close.

This is a scene I'm doing for work. Its far from finished but I thought I would give yall a peak.

This is something I'm doing for work. Its going to be used as a backdrop for one of the scenes. It has since been decaled. But it still needs lights. After I get to the lights I'll post it again.

I just wanted to thank everyone that commented. The model has been submitted to Hash for the 2008 extras dvd. I hope everyone enjoys its use. Thanks for your time. Shane Perkins

So how would I go about sending you the model? And what exactly would it be used for? I still have a few tweaks I want to do, but all in all its done.

Reflections are on the car. And to save time its only 4x multipass.

Well it finished rendering and I realy wasn'ty happy with the results. I added another white plane in front and re rendered. As far as the environment map, I wish I had a little more control over it. Any way here is what I got now.

Ah. I added the map. Its rendering as I type this. Ill post it when its done. Thanks for the help.

How do I make an environmental map?

Thanks so much for the screen shot. That explains so much. I'll Render again after I make the changes. It may be a few days as I'm real busy with work and my BMW project. Thanks again.

After some lighting adjustments this is where I'm at now. Any thoughts? I could be talked into something like that. What rights to the model, if any, would I retain? Would I be given any credit for creating it or would it be anonymous?

Great suggestions... I'll try them soon. I love the idea about the many kliegs. And due to all the confusion i will be removing the "tint" from the glass. The dealership has tinted windows. But I think no tint would work much better for what i'm trying to do. P.S. The room you made looks great! Did you use Radiosity, Ambient occlusion, or defult render? Think I could see your screen shots of the chor? So I can see the light setup.

Ok it rendered. I'm tired. And I'm off to bed. Enjoy.

Ok I made the changes and am rendering again... Thanks for the comments. I admit that your comments have all been positive improvements. Thanks again for your help.

I have been using AM for a little under 2 years. My job uses it, so I do projects on the side to improve my own skill.

Ok here you go... I hope you all enjoy.

Heres a shot of the interior. I am still waiting on the corrected render.

This wont be rendered for a while. I'm currently working on the BMW 330ci. I hope the comments keep coming. I'm writing all this down for when I get back to this project.
