Mini Cooper (Final!)

[RArcher]

I've been playing around with the mini cooper model created by Mandrake over at Ashundar.  There is still a lot of work to be done to this image to make it look right, but here is a mid-size test image to start with.  A bit of extra photoshopping to give it a very soft feel.  Trees are Lightnings great silver birch model.


*Edit*  Final version here:

oooh !
very nice
you should get rid of the reflectivity on the tyre ^^

[rcallicotte]

COOL!!!  This is what we're talkin' about!

[edit - Seth's right.]

[RArcher]

Yep.  The tire is  one of the many things that still need work.

Wow, this is looking really good. Can't wait for the final.

BRILLIANT I knew it could be done !!!!!

I saw an earlier post of yours and I guessed you were going in this direction. I know we're told time and again that we should be comping in models rendered in external packages but I don't think this image could have been achieved without rendering in Terragen, The reflection map alone would have to be massive! I would look more at the reflection myself, its a little too much in places and I agree with the others about the tyres.

Really looking forward to the finished image, one for the IOTW I strongly suspect

Agree with other on too much reflectivity, but impressive nonetheless!

Well after seeing this one I'm going to have to download that Mini
Cooper. I like it impressive.

oh wow this is sweet as ae
i love the reflection a little to much to be honest and yeah about the tyre thingi
you should add some blur effects in photoshop to make it look like the car is moving jst my thoughts though
p.s you like those trees don't you!

[inkydigit]

sweet indeed!!...though a tad too shiny in places!

[EBAndrew]

Very nice, indeed! However, is that the front-passanger tire/wheel I see through the grill?

[RArcher]

Here is an updated version.  Reduced the overall reflectivity, fixed the tires, textured the highway, and just overall tried to make it more realistic.

much better

[Seth]

yes much better already ^^

[lightning]

man that is realistic!
