here!
sorry about the background, i couldnt find a better HDRi and im on a rush..!

Quote from XCNuse :

ya, one skylight is all you need, and it can be put anywhere anyhow, it all works the same way

but for a basic scanline setup all you need is 1 skylight and 1 omni

yep, or just get VRay and add a Target Direct and turn on the GI (global illumination) option
it will be much better

Quote from GianniC :

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for someone who has..
-some free time
-good idea's how to handle banners/logo's
-knows very well how to work with PS !

What for ?
A *top secret* job.
That person must be able to bring some nice, good idea's in front and be able to put those idea's in reality. Has to be able to support some other persons who will make great 3D Renders, the man I need now is someone who wants to work with those 3D Renders and PS them. For example: a rendered LFS car in a nicer design, or put a 'special logo' on the Render, or change some stuff around the render scéne, make several new banners,...

Reward ?
Respect and your name in the spotlights
I'll make sure you're name will be seen!

Want more/better info's, pm me or leave a note here please. I'll try to explain it better then, in the hope someone will be able to help me with this

Quote from tristancliffe :

Tweaked the chrome a bit more, but I still don't like it myself...

try adding more black in ur chrome material

Quote from Priitmek :

Don't know if you like the scene, but here's my render of the skin:
http://admin.korsten.ee/FZR_HFD_2006.jpg

Can you please tell me the author of the skin so I could put this render in my gallery?

priitmek, you should add more primary and secondary bounces in your scene, its too dark

and tristan, msn me: [email protected]

so, are you using fixed rate subdivisions or adaptive?
id recommend you to use fixed at 8-10 or even less.. maybe 7. You can get descent results in "no time"
yep, i know, VRay rules, i use it for all my Architecture projects, but it aint worth the wait for LFS renders :P

Quote from tristancliffe :

3hrs and 13 minutes later you get this (see attached). It would appear I upped the settings too much by accident, for very little improvement in the render.

Hope you like it!

id say you should use brazil.. its much faster for object rendering..
VRay is more advanced and its all about global illumination in different techniques, ambience paremeters, environment settings and stuff used in Architectural Visualisations, etc.

Quote from TagForce :

I'll have an orgasm when your turbo goes fshhhhhhh and it gets totally drowned out because this smart passes you:

loooool
thats ridiculous!!!
crazy little thing

Quote from bLaCk VaMpIrE :

what car do you want.. i can make a few this sunday. -_-

I dont need any cause im not using blender..but it would be cool if you could make them all and make a little website with them. I can host them for you if you want!

Quote from XCNuse :

i was actually talking about switcher's render lol
(responding to ramtechs post)

btw, do u have any nice HDRi maps? i have a library of around 100 but they all suck for LFS renders.. (all intended for architectural visualisations)

Quote from bLaCk VaMpIrE :

because somebody has made a simple file, which has just to be loaded and rendered.
it could be as easy as in max if somebody would do this work.

i found the procedure quite simple when i imported the XRR in 3dsmax and edited all the materials etc. in order to render it..
i dont know if its that simple in blender, but why dont you do the favour and do it for us then?

Quote from wheel4hummer :

Well, for some reason ricers have orgasms when their honda's VTEC swiches the camshaft profiles. Heres an example: http://videos.streetfire.net/P ... 7EFB47E&kw=37&p=0

i have orgasms when i hear the turbo go fshhhhhhhhhh before the honda VTEC sounds while racing against them

http://videos.streetfire.net/P ... 7&term=matrix&p=0 <--- listen to that whistle

Quote from ldriver :

I have come to this so far and it was a pain in the ass

oh just get 3dsmax.. it will be way easier!

Quote from XCNuse :

need to get better lighting in it; if you did it wouldnt look so out of place and fake

i still find a good try..
maybe we can help him make it better?

Quote from mengy007 :

Is there a tutorial on how to render these skins? Can I do it with 3dsmax?

yep, search for the LFSWiki tutorial..
and yep, 3dsmax will do

Quote from Rouman :

could somebody be so kind and post the 3ds modelfiles. Particularly the FZR GTR... thx in advance

check this http://ds-autos.digiserv.net/scenes/lfs

Quote from glyphon :

just going off of a few examples, blender seems just as capable as the big/expensive software packages...it probably just takes a bit more work to achieve...
