Hey-hey!
Here is my new project! Modelling done in Blender 2.73. Texturing - in Substance Painter and DDo. Rendered in Maxwell Standalone v3.
I will be more than happy to hear a critique)) But what I am really not big in is post-production… I want to do it, but I have no idea what sort of effects will do here. May be you could give me an advice? Any advice really - have no idea where to start ))
Here is UPD (I leave the old model just for comaprison:))
Here is the model
Hi!
Nice model and textures!
I’m not good with post production too unfortunately.
Maybe the lighting looks a little bit too flat. Especially the darker areas look a bit too black in my opinion. I know nothing about Maxwell though. What kind of light setup are you using?
yes! the model is too dark )) Maxwell render does an automatic gamma correction, plus my textures were initially too dark)) I will fix that, just a little bit later - have some urgent stuff to make at the moment. Thank you so much for checking up on me! 
a car paint shader on that red area with nice flakes reflecting the light would be cool, right now, the lighting doesnt scatter as it should…
example:
car paint 02 (cherry red car)
for post processing, maybe this helps:
Totally! I removed flakes from Maxwell in-built car material, since I thought it makes everything look too smoothed out, but if this detail is the one which will give more realism to the picture I will surely rerender it with flakes and compare the results!
Thank you so much for the advice and video! :)))
hey! i spent some time veryfying that. I export textures from Substance Painter in sRGB 16 bit PNG. I believe that is the format that Maxwell is using. Maxwell Render also does 2.2 gamma correction by itself, but I raised it to get a lighter image (i think that was not enough in this case - right arm is still black))).
I hope it was a right answer. If i am doing it wrong, please, let me know!
Thank you!
Hey-hey! Tried to update the image and totally forgot about flakes! Darn it!
Do you guys think it might wourk without them?
you can add some decals, stickers, details in post, nice background or volumetric effects, depth of field, fix antialiasing issues, change color scheme
hey! thanks a lot! :))) great advice about DOF, totally forgot abour it))) What do you mean by volumetric effects? Fog? :))) And also are there problems with anti-aliasing? could you, please, point them out?
Thank you so much again!
