Hi,
I've modelled a car (or, soon done), but I'm no good in texturing and stuff like that. I've seen car renders around that look like it's a real car. Thing is, how do I do it? Are there any good tutorials around for making car materials/rendering? Point is I want it to look like a real car, not some computer-made car..

Any help appreciated

Great! Fellow 3d'ers fighting for the same cause :)
I'll post here if I find something somewhere else. Maybe you could do the same?

May be i can help...
try this:
- specular level = 120
- glossiness = 60
- diffuse use faloff fresnel
the top color use the color u want for the model
the bottom color use solid black
- reflection use faloff fresnel
top color use dark grey
bottom use white

this can help but if u want more realism, use hdri on a skylight

ps: sorry about my english

Here's just a few that I've posted in the Mental Ray Shader thread:
Page 35 of the thread:

Also this one in the free material library thread:
http://www.pixelperfectgraphics.biz/cg%20posting/Blue%20green.jpg

These are but a few of the paint shaders from our resources section alone. I'm sure a search for paint shader will return plenty of additional help.

How can I did these ones? I watch the thread, but there aren't any indications about making them. Thanks

Simply download the .mat file on page 1 of that thread. They are all included in it.

I've also put more here:

and included screen grabs of the setup incase you don't have max6.

And if you want to work without Mental Ray and other additional Renderers, you can try a car shader I did some time ago.

Most of the paint materials I've posted above are simple raytrace materials. So your not required to use them with MR.
