A series of renders trying to develop my automotive materials further. Corona Dome map used for environment and lighting.
Charger model by Narek Gabazyan with various additions & modifications from GrabCAD.
HDRI by Panocapture
3DS Max & Corona 1.7.4 with Corona Image editor for post work

I also plan on doing a more extreme supercharged Pro Stock (drag racing) version.

C&C very welcome

An image i created in 3DS Max & Corona 1.7.2 for the latest AutomotiveCGI contest - Low key lighting. I created 120m length of straight road and used Corona scatter to line it with kerb stones, a crash barrier (behind the camera), street lights, herras fencing, small bushes then larger bushes and well as grass over the built up verge to hide the horizon line. I animated the BAC Mono model (from Squir) using simple wire constraints between the Y position body and X axis wheel rotation. Lighting is Corona Sun/Sky with an HDRI in the visibility override slot and lighting from the street lights.

Not entirely happy with the final result, I didn't have time to map the model properly so the Triplaner map for the carbon is a bit ropey in areas and the orange peel on the clear coat is too heavy.

Post work was in Photoshop.

C&C welcome

A couple of images from a client furniture & branding update for their standard sales suite ranges. Can't post any more till everything is signed off but these have no branding in them so throwing caution to the wind and sharing them here - please don't share further anywhere else.

Playing around with a 911 GT3 R. Decided to go full carbon with yellow detailing. My CEO is a massive Porsche fan so I'm thinking of doing a version sponsored by the company I work for as well.

Car - https://grabcad.com/library/mclaren-570s-2015-1 Beware, it will take some time to get it usable for rendering and there are multiple parts that need realigning, though it is well mapped in the majority.

There is an accompanying Facebook group that is currently running a competion using the McLaren model - https://www.facebook.com/groups/automotivecgi/

Thanks Juraj. Rex's models are awsome, well mapped, but require a fair amount of work in Max. His The Centenario model is probably the easiest to work with but least favourite in terms of looks, I'm yet to find an angle where I like the look of it or a certain feature on the car ruins the overall balance of the image.
The BMW M4 is boarderline useless without a silly amount of hours dividing up the mesh as ouside of the main body panels everything else seem to be individual polygons and I lost patience with it.
The McClaren also took a lot of work to make usable. I used to use Rhino so I re-exported the model to a new OBJ file.

Thanks Jeff, the emissive material has an opacity falloff and the model has two geometry layers so there is a frosted transparent material above the emissive material. Can't take full credit for it as the model contributes to how well it works. This was meant for the latest Automotive CGI competition but between rebuilding my workstation and work it never got finished.

Dude, stop it! We can't handle that much fabulousness all together!

Thank you for the kind words. I'm also playing around with a studio scene using the Corona Volume material to create some dry-ice esqe myst.

C&C Welcome

A few more shots from different angles and some tweaks to the car paint - turns out I had the upper flake layer (there are two flake layers) placed above the clear coat. I also reduced the dust layer on the tyre tread so that it fit better with this environment.

I can't share any of my archviz work here (yet) so in my spare time I've been messing around rendering some automotive bits and pieces. I find it a nice change of pace from my usual work and get to experiment with a larger variety of materials.

I haven't had a chance to play around with the dome mapping options in the Corona bitmap so I did a quick test last night to see how the car paint I've been working on looks.

HDRI is from AutomotiveCGI, model is by RexFu.

Ludvik you and this scene are the reason I slaved to learn MR in depth and why I am over here now on team Corona. Many thanks for this, will definitely purchase.


you may count me in too. Thanks Ludvik!
You put me on the path of Corona.

Yep same here, despite beign 5 years old this project is probably still the best MR tutorial online.
