Title: 'Tears in the purple rain'
Post by: Jake Williams on 2020-03-25, 17:22:55

I think we can call this one ‘Tears in the purple rain’. A combined homage to both Blade Runner and Prince. I was listening to Prince for a while as I worked on this and it wasn’t until I was nearly finished that I realized I was unknowingly making a complete recreation of the Purple Rain album cover. If you know, you know. Cheers to @fabiopalvelli for providing the base car mesh. Got a few days of entertainment out of it. It’s a 1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo concept car which I thought would fit perfectly into the cyberpunk genre. Image created with 3ds Max, Corona, and Substance Painter.

I think the first has a very Syd Mead look to it! Nicely done!

Nice.. looks more like a drawing :)
What was your Substance to Corona workflow? How did you converted materials?

Man, I have not quite been able to figure out the best way to convert the materials yet. Still quite new to this workflow. For this one I tried this script by Igor Novik that worked pretty well for the materials with metal. But other than that its usually a bit of manually tweaking the Corona shader to have the right amount of reflection. The Corona preset in Substance Painter never seems to get it quite right. In the end I just accept that it might never be the same as in painter.
