amazing

[nehale]

are the caustics on the ground also rendered in corona?

[Ondra]

it is probably direct light from IES lights

[JeffPatton]

No.  On the third image (green color), I rendered a reflective caustics pass in mental ray for that particular effect.

Correct, the headlight "caustics" pattern is from an IES light from within Corona.

I'd sell this to Mercedes-Benz , i think they would love it as we do :D

+1 for a caustic pass in CORONA!!!!.

Starting to search how to achieve caustic pass in mental ray.

Nice work Jeff, can you make some making of? I would know your lighting workflow works. Where did you get the midel from, it looks like a original model.

Ludvik's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs2_xl1wPY8 pretty much sums up the workflow.  With that as the foundation I typically create/modify HDRs/EXRs (usually with HDR Light Studio) in order to emphasize the vehicle body lines and/or specific parts.

Great work, but i don't like IES visible pattern... remove it :D

[JeffPatton]

Drives me bonkers too...but client likes it. :/

[Coronaut]

NOOOOOOO don't let client give you hard time, that is why you need to buy baseball bat. If they could 99% of clients would drape in gold feathers and that doesn't mean they are right.
Btw. why didn't you do one in tunnel usually MB want one in like that.

[loocas]

Those are some sexy renders, man! Very, very nice!

[tomislavn]

Simply amazing work Jeff, like always - love it! And yeah, I am also up for removing those IES patterns :D
