Dang, dunno why I didn't notice you replied - sorry for the delay.

I'd say the render is much better now. Adding dirt adds a lot to it. The lifts and barrels looks "planted" and more realistic now

I have AA on.. dunno why

It's due to Jpeg compression. You can't always avoid it completely (especially with bright colors) even at highest quality. Use formats such as PNG for rendering purposes - if you can.

Cool renders, RAYfighter

Quote from Mustangman759 :

btw raptor ment to tell you, the driver of the lotus appreciated the render and liked it alot (his new wall paper i think )

I'm glad to hear that. Cheers.

Epic <3

Hazaky: that pic ain't bad at all considering it's from a cell phone cam :o

Quote from rockclan :

I tried to work with it in photoshop, but it was a hard time figuring out what to place where.

Thanks for the comment. Would you care to elaborate how it is hard? The Master Skinners wires are no simpler than these, so I'm puzzled by what you mean.

Legalize it, tax it, end the drug war.

It's absolutely absurd that alcohol is legal and pot isn't.

True. It's outrageous and display of double standards that it can be like that. Ban alcohol!

Quote from l200 :

Hiya again , Thx r4ptor for the nice reply ! Well, here is my 2nd render

Oh yah, keep'em coming.

Quote from e2mustang :

small updates on car,and i'll go with these rims.

Few things I'd like to point out:
Reflections are completely random. You need to re-position the refl. plates.

Rear wing should have body paint too.

The rubber profile seems to be too thin to be considered realistic (http://autoanything.files.word ... om/2008/09/amuse-gt-r.jpg).

Car (tires) have been sunk too much into the ground. Makes especially the rear tire look like it had a puncture.

Get rid of refraction. It's not adding anything to the render, but instead making it worse. I mentioned some time ago that refractions would be so little noticeable that you can render without any. Here it is 1: done wrong (needs thickness) 2: low poly model (can cause errors) 3: possibly disconnected verticies (more errors) - all 3 mixed together. It's apparent on all LFS cars that reflections can't be smooth on areas that are round (or even on somewhat flat areas) because of the low poly nature of the models. Refractions suffer from this too.

It's not necessarily going to be a more realistic render if you tick on a "realistic setting". You need to recognize the limits. RB4 is one of the worst cars to render, but that just means you need to be even more aware of what you are doing.

Quote from Gunn :

Could you please check the svg file and see if the problem persists there too? I don't have Inkscape installed any longer and can't check it easily.

It's the same with SVG.

Thanks for the feedback!

5tag: I was inspired to release these by that thread. I've had vector wires for more than a year - been using them for skin work in my previous team, and I had planned all along to make them public but I actually forgot all about it

I re-did the whole thing few days ago because I couldn't remember any more if they are fully up to date or not. Now I know for sure they are

Gunn: The "problem" originates from the exporter (and possibly my limited knowledge of Illustrator). The smallest component in Illustrator equals a 3d face/triangle. Overlapping is occurring since none of these faces are sharing points with the neighboring ones. I would have to delete a big bunch manually and that would be too tedious and time consuming.

I'm not aware of any tool AI may have, to make it easier for me to delete the overlapping edges. Feel free me enlighten me if you happen to know about this.

ajcham: I'm always happy to discuss gfx stuff. Fire away ones you are ready, and hopefully I'll be able to help.

the room was already made, in tutorials folder, it had a kitchen it in , i jus deleted everythin but the walls, threw sum spheres and boxes in, all the shine and objects where me tho, eazypeezy

It's still a big task though, especially if you run into some sort of problems. Troubleshooting a scene like this would naturally be more time consuming than a scene with just a floor and a car

Quote from Gustix :

its a thumbnail , press it

trololo

Ahh, the cool thing about Lux etc. is that you get different things for "free", whereas with traditional renderers, you have to set them up for caustics and this and that, and do tons and tons of tweaking to get the look right.

Quote from SEV7N :

my 1st render, after sum practice...

Woar, thats a huge scene you got youself involved with as a "1st" thing... that's the spirit

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

Reposts? Kiss my ass!

Trololololo and Lewis too lol

Quote from 5h4dovv :

Hey Guys, Where can i get the Brazil and Vray plugin for 3DS max 2010? Because i am going to start rendering, i just need the plugins. And Also, are they Free?

Brazil
VRay

These renderers aren't free though, however you can probably download demo's to play with. You could also have a look at Blender which is a free and fullblown 3D app. You can find other free 3rd party renderers for it too such as LuxRender. LuxRender is an unbiased renderer though, meaning it's build to do things realistically. that sounds good, but it also means it's slower because of it's unbiased nature - just like iFastLT's rim render few posts back. That was done with a different but also an unbiased renderer.

Quote from leonardo555 :

No, I don't think.

Indeed.

Quote from matijapkc :

I think you accidentally put the wrong pic in the link for "Photo 2"... Those two are same.
And yes, RL model is the example that should be shown.

Woopsie - fixed now.

Thanks.

Quote from leonardo555 :

Look at the attachment:
This part is completly wrong, we can see edges, and its so soft, it needs to have more depth.
If possible, show us your wire

(I just added turbosmooth to one part of the rim as I've not finished it yet, just for you to see.)

If his rim is "way off" then what is yours?
Photo 1
Photo 2

Pretty arrogant to show your version of 3d model as reference, don't you think?
