Well the main problem is the side door which still shows some weird distortions. (See the image before)
Furthermore they needed about a week to fix the main problems, but they forgot the distortions at the trunk, which I had to fix myself.
Unfortunately I don't have the skills to solve the weird distortions at the door.
But yes perhaps those problems are based on the complexity of the car itself, so blaming humster3d wasn't correct. I simply don't have enough experience to give a precise assessment.

Do you have some other tips, which could help me, to improve the renderings? :-)

So this is the updated rendering, without photoshop. I guess I have to leave the model as it is and avoid humster3d in the future. :-(
But thank you guys for all your support. ;-)

Thank you guys, but the materials, the backplate, the position of the car and the HDRI are absolutely not final. I will start with them, as soon as the geometrie of the body looks good. ;-)

So I got a new model from humster3d. The side of the car looks better, but still not perfect. The complex design of the body seems hard to handle.

What do you guys think of the updated model?

I have some exposures without the sun (it had been covered by some clouds), so that I can remove the bright spots, as soon as I'm sure where the car stands in the final image.

While I'm waiting for the repsonse of humster3d, does someone know if there is a tutorial for bringing the edges of the body parts on the same level? It should fix the distortion problem.

Like this one. It should look like entire chasis is made of one piece which has been cut apart. Here it looks like two pieces that bend inwards into the area of the cut. So you can see reflection doing something looking like two bubbles next to each other. This is most common problem of the low quality models.

Ah okay,  I see :-) . I will talk to humster3d, perhaps they can fix it....

As for backplates, if you done them yourself, just make yourself (or get yourself) one that is either completely in sun or sky light, or completely in shadow, but ground area on which car will be placed should have no areas where shadows and light meet in contrast, like this one. These situations are solvable, but really difficult, so if you are just learning the process, then pick yourself easier scenario first :)

But you talk about the backplate and not the HDRI correct? I thought the only problem were the sunny spots in the car shadow, which has to be removed. Or is there anything else to consider?

Thanks Rawalanche for your patience  ;-)

I'm sure I can fix the backplate...I have some exposures without sun, so I can fix the sunny spots.
Is it possible to fix the distortion problem? To be honest I don't know if I understand that problem. I always thought distortions are a natural effect, if the surface isn't completly flat. But the car body has curves etc., so that distortions should be visible or am I wrong?

Thank you Rawalanche :-)
So I changed the HDRI and the Backplate with the static ones. I added some teapots as well, so that it might be easier to find the most significant problems.
The model is from humster3d, so I guess it should be fine....

Ok, I changed the colour, the red seems easier to handle, the position of the car, and the HDRI.
Does the postion still looks weird?

The bright spots of the sun on the backplate needs to be removed. I will add some reflections on the most important lines of the car as well.

Okay, thank you guys ;-)
I will show you the hopefully fixed version ;-)

Agree with Rawalanche on perspective. And i just can't stand that "Dragan" style. It's so overused...

"Dragan" style?

It just looks generally weird, as if it was tilted to the right. And to match the car with backplate better, i would first try to take some raw photographic backplate, without any retouches, integrate the car into it and render them together, and then stylize and retouch the entire image with a car. If you place car into already stylized backplate, it's a lot more challenging to do right.

Mh okay, but this is basically what I did. The first image is the "raw" image (ok some highlight recovery and the best people) with the car integrated. And then retouch everything together. But I will have a look at the perspective. ;-)

Ok I have to admit that I'm new to the whole "CGI-world" . Could you explain it in a a little more detail? The car was positioned with a reference cube (except for the first image), but perhaps I made a mistake....

I want to share the first results of my upcoming AMG GT series.
The backplates and HDRI's were shot in Dortmund/Germany. The AMG GT was modeled by Humster3d.

Feel free to criticize ;-)
