Actually a portrait configuration of my Ferrari scene from the old computer, but with an Austin Mini I found...Hannes' car paint preset dialed Austin Red from the default Blue, thanks Hannes. Dunno where i found the Mini but it were free somewhere. C&C welcome.

I like it Bobby.
A better road texture and maybe diffeent trees would be even better.

Thanks Kadri. The scene is from way back last year and it was my first 'sort of successful' road with Dunes coaching so I'm semimental about it but I may try another tree type...it was under an hour to render so no biggie there.

Nice setup bobby. Agree with the tree replacement.

First like comes here...

...more likes if you eg. change the tree in front of the house with shrubs/bushes (I heard you have a nice japanese maple ;)  )
Perhaps it fit good left and right side in front of the door...

The other trees perhaps a bit less "heavy" - do you have some slim and elegant ones?

I have more trees than you can shake a stick at, he hee...have taken advantage of at least 3 different offerings from XFROG over the years.

However, I really like the soft lighting here, which looks quite realistic. Although the shadow below the Mini looks a bit flat. Have you checked occlusion weight?

Indeed, it's set at 3..I think it's the road surface at fault there...it was my first semi successful one with Ulco's coaching so I haven't tweaked it...I may if I come back to this but other stuff keeps grabbing my attention away from whatever I'm doing;  AADD I guess...

3? Oh, well... Anyway, good stuff!

Thanks...like I said it's likely the road texture giving that flatness. Will look at fixing that next time it pops up.
