very nice work, well done:thumbsup::applause:

Good work!

Nice curves and overall design.
Lighting is good, materials are good.

One crit though, the specular seems a little wide.
Could be a reflection problem too. But since you used HDR lighting it's probably the specular.

What I would suggest is to narrow the specular a bit or tweak the falloff.
Then use a basic object like a plane or cylinder as an area light and force it to show in the reflection.
Are you blurring the visible hdr dome? I always blur it just a little bit. Not nearly as much as the GI dome though.
You could also try rendering the specular and/or reflection as a separate pass then play with blending modes for those layer/s in PS.

Other than that it's a great render.
NURBS always have such nice curves...

great job. the model looks very clean. i think the render looks good too and i ithink it would look better with a background. 5 stele. felicitari

[mariusce]

ty guys ...i agree with critics and yes specular looks to high but that can be change easily i think.


i attach clay renders because thats helps a lot to see the model better.

Really cool i like it:) How long did it take to model?

...i want to know it too.

What a lot of details!

Is the color original VW? It looks so nice!

Greetz, Tilo

Yeah those clay renders look great!

Alot of detail there.

A couple questions:
Did you use blueprints?
When you model things like the windshield wipers, do you actually have a physical wiper blade for reference?

[mariusce]

i made this car in 5 weeks and i used some low res blueprints and a lot of reference pictures (including wipers )
the color is not original (i dont have colour codes ) but i think it suits with this car

[JGW]

it surely is a lot of work, well done.

Nice Model
But u need some Environment..

[Dtox]

When you say he needs some environment, do you mean an actual environment or an environment map?

An env-map would be good, but since it's a studio render an actual env would detract from the focus on the model.
At least IMO anyway.
