Learner’s Corner / "Borchia V8" - a fictional sports car at Goodwood
« on: 2019-07-24, 14:25:23 »
Hello all,
I am mainly a 3d modeller with a strong affinity to automotive design and to improve how I present my work I have recently started thinking of getting back into offline rendering. I am working in the video games industry and maybe because of that most of my personal projects have been created with real-time rendering in mind and even though real-time has evolved with leaps and bounds I am after for that bit more detailed and accurate lighting and reflections for the individual renders. Previously I have used mental ray and recalling that I had heard a lot of good things about Corona I decided to get the trial version and give it a go! So far I have managed to find my way around Corona just by poking around trying things and watching videos based on what I have been after but I am sure when something gnarlier comes up I hope I can count on the help from this forum here!
Now that we are past the introduction, I would like to present my first Corona project. I decided to post it here in this section because I feel it's a rather simple scene with a simple lighting and it is my first Corona project after all. It's a model of a fictional sports car that I created a few years ago, now set into a drive-by on the Goodwood Festival of Speed hill climb. I shot the back plate photos myself earlier this July. The goal was to create a series of images that look convincing enough to give the feeling of "Wait, did I miss something at the event?" or "Whoa, what car is that?" but mainly to familiarise myself with Corona and test how well it meshes with Substance Painter (=really well).
The scene is a simple road and simple hay bales just so that they show up on the reflections on the car paint. Car is animated to move past the stationary camera to get the correct kind of motion blur onto the car as it goes past. Lighting is done with a cloudy hdri and a CoronaSun only.
It would be greatly appreciated if you would let me know what you think about these images!
