Presets will do you no good if you don't know how to tweak them, to fit your needs.
Anyhow, it seems like you need to look into Fresnel. If you are already using it then the falloff may be completely off.

I bet the "fresnel IOR" defines the falloff rate - a high number would probably give you something like the 3rd ball in the link... but I don't use vray, so don't take my word for it on that one
Set the refraction IOR falloff to 1 - even though some may say set it to something low like 1.05 or whatever. It's not worth it IMO and adds to rendertime.
That *should* be it, really.. oh, and ofcause.. crank up transparency. How transparent it should be depends on how clear or tinted you want the windows to be. Just experiment

Funneh thread. I just recently finished a model of a '51 Chevy pickup truck for RC cover production, for an actual RC dealer who does "custom" covers.
Are there any fantasy covers out there, or are they all based on real cars? If so then LFS covers seems rather unrealistic, unless someone here can produce or knows someone who can.

Yah, I know. There is no way to output such result unless you use some fancy filter in the 3D app .. which you btw shouldn't do. As you probably know or are getting aware of, it is better and easier to do so in PS etc.
Heh, I've made same mistake many times. Make it a habbit to take small breaks away from what you think is final (or while working) and then come back and look at it again. It's normal.. happens all the time
Edit: Just completed this one... hope you guys like it.

Very good render - I'd have to say though that the dark's are too dark. You can have "super dark's", but when dark's from skin, tire and shadow can't be distinguished then it's too dark with the kind of lighting you have here. It's close to be perfect. but just a tad too much dark.. IMO.
Brakes: a bit more reflective.
Tires: Too much reflection.
The tires are most off, of those two.

Looks lovely.. btw, if you can model while being sick, then you aren't sick at all, are you?!
Cool idea
Odd - I converted from CMX myself and still have the unmodified on my drive - there's no problem like that in them
Very cool render
The verticies that are causing smoothing related problems are pretty much on top of eachother (on all cars IIRC), so you can get away with a very low threshold - it's good because then you avoid accidentally removing smaller details that you might overlook.
Thanks - it was actually a simple straight on shot, and I then rotated the render in post
Something looks very off with the window. Anyhow, high poly meshes will no doubt result in better looking renders, but the LFS models aren't that bad - see attached.
Your windows looks a bit like a triangle or more have been offset from original position.
You need to tweak the geometry as iFastLT suggested - that window should be a smoothing only thing (not verticy related). Play with smoothing settings (not meshsmooth/subdivision surfaces, but Normal based smoothing). I have mine set to 44.5 degrees.
Thanks
There is no triangle that covers that area, so he can't do it. As I don't use 3DS, I don't know what is causing this. Some things that could be useful to check:
Make sure your lighting solution isn't frozen - like, if you have Global Illumination (or whatever it's called in VRay) calculated, then make sure it's being recalculated when you render again.
Reset the material: remove/delete the current material and give the entire skin area a new material.
Although the render artifact looks odd, I kinda lean towards the lighting solution being the cause of this.
Om freking nom
I will see what I can do (im a bit busy though, so it may take a bit time). same setup as the rb4 render, or something different?
You should be all set then. I thought you didn't have 4GB in total at all - and if it's not enough for your scenes then "ur doing it wrong"
