LOL That was a pretty damn cool image

Thanks Newbert_Zero, you made my day here is the link to my thread on cgtalk http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?t=225816

Very much thank you Eos for your comment. Is it the clay and the wire render you refer to? I have been testing so much latly, so it has become a bit confusing... hehe. Anyway, here they are. Please do! It would be very cool to see how the master does it

Thanks for the excellent tip Jaqe off and away to buy a car mag btw.. did this testrender, where I placed the car in the city I created for my short "the revenge of the gull" note: tested depth of fields for the first time *edit* updated the picture

Thanks for your replies I'll try to lower the camera, what would be the best hight for it? something like 170cm (something like the hight where we have the eyes)? For the environment i'm wanting something like an salt lake or a desert. Or do you have any other suggestions?

I have been playing more with Yves skylight and Colins carpaint, and I'm wondering if this new render is better (less or more toyish than the others).. Also if anyone have a idea for an environment to put it in, tell me Thanks for any comments (your probably tired with this car by now.......)

Hello Jaqe How is your orc coming along? It has been a while since you updated your wip

you are right Ken. My knowledge in making materials is very poor... If anyone have tried Colins paint and knows what settings to change pls let me know (or knows how to make one from scrap).. Actually red is not my favorite carpaint (metallic grey, or black, or dark brown with a tint of red is).. This is what im looking for (ref images): black grey metallic LOL... or something like this.. It has/had a nice color (Rowan Atkinsons crashed his £800.000 McLaren) How about this render?

Thanks Colin I have tried out a new render, but i'm still not satisfied (have the feeling of this being a never ending project... it will end pretty soon i promise ). New in this render is; *Colins carpaint is almost untouched (decreased the amplitude to 25, but should probably be less to avoid the "dots") *Yves skylight dome (8) instead of spotlights *Added a light in the dashboard BUT: *The car still looks like a toy *The rims looks like porcelain *Could probably use a better lightsetup (settings on the dome)? If anyone could give me some tips about the mentioned problems or have any other tips related I would be glad to hear additional information: The car: *15.598 patches The render: *2048x800 *9 passes *2 hours to render

I like him.. Good work. Will there be many characters in your short? How about telling us a bit about the story?

Thanks Ken hmmm. I did my first toonrender ever, and I think the resault became a bit cool.. I did't adjust any settings, this was just for fun/testing! *have now played a bit with the settings. updated the image

I have been updating the car a bit. added a rubbersealer in the doorway, added a refill cap, logo on the hood, one interiorlight, fixed some materials on the steering wheel and exhaust pipes. updated the movie: the movie (.mov)

The mach 5 looks very nice.. like the overall dynamic shape, its very smooth Also like the rear end.. The paint is might a bit bright though (atleast on my monitor).. Keep up the good work

What??? are all the details splines???? If so, that must have been a big amount of work?!? Looks very nice

Sorry for late response (have been on a holiday). Anyway... thanks for the replies. here you will find colins carpaint http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showt...=15&hl=carpaint (It is a bit different on my McLaren though)

.....hrmfff... Thanks for noticing... one more thing that I have forgotten...

It looks very nice indeed! But give us a highres

and a screencapture: *edit* hmm, should I do the windshield wiper a bit thicker?

ehhh... I might do not know what that is.... hrmf... The carpaint is made by Colin, and the only thing I have done with it is to flatten it down a bit (the environment map is in use, and should probably not be..).. Anyway.. have done a new render of the 360', where the camera moves a bit up so you get a better view.. Also I have added a rubber sealer around the headlights, and a windshield wiper are added. the refill cap is for the moment just a decal, but will be redone with splines.. interiorlights is also to come. THE MOVIE (7MB)

I have been wondering in how to add that rubber sealer.. have been thinking of decaling it on (probably a bad way to do it).. also the backwindow have kind of a black "halftransparent" frame around it. I made a decal for that but the decal gets affected by the glassmaterial. any idea?

the mirrors are actually not a part of the body... but I see your point.. thanks... I'll look at it here are a few ref photos of the car for those that are interested www.atspeedimages.com

Thanks for a great tip... that i didn't think of *edit* arghh... I dont have any good reference photo to show me where the interior lights are..... need to improvise a bit then

And here is a 360' of the car MclarenSmall.mov

Never used CGTalk forum.... hmmm Thanks for your nice replies *blushing* I just realized that I have forgotten the windshield viper... *LOL* I don't want to drive this car at 240Mph in a rainy day for sure Here is a wire

hmmm. the material on the steering wheel disappears on the finished render, but it shows in shaded mode... why?
