Nicely done! I dig the spokes.

Thanks so much Richard!!
It was a small nightmare replicate those spokes!!
I had to re-do them twice, because initially I had made the wrong model, the one with a smaller number of spokes.:no:
I place some render of the individual wheels with different colors combination.

@James Candy

Thank you, it’s very flattering to find out you know about my work! Yes, I wanted the materials to look very good in that video, and lighting as well. I did use an HDRI as my light source, with a few area lights and a reflector used here and there to fill in the shadows. I’ll be uploading a walk-through of the lighting setups early next week here in the Finished Projects section.

And I’m sorry to say, I’ve never played a game on my computer- I don’t know if it would even be able to run it properly! I’ve just been downloading content from the workshops on Steam so that I can convert it and use it in Blender. Maybe sometime this year I’ll be able to upgrade and learn how to play on-line with you!

Wonderful!! I look forward, to see walk-through of the lighting setups!! I’m sure I will learn something useful!! Where did you find that beautiful hdri environment??

[James_Candy]

Thanks! The environment map was found on Deviant Art, by a user called macsix. Here is the link: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Anvil-Spherical-HDRI-Panorama-Skybox-416317312

I consider it one of the best HDRI’s I’ve ever found online- it may not be very high res, but it sure contains the whole dynamic range of the scene! Even many of the HDR maps sold in online stores contain far fewer stops than they should, so the fact that it’s available for free is even better.

Hey Guido, great car and very good job! Love the glass material on the windscreen.
Agree with others about a render with less distortion and maybe a studio setup would be a nice addition to this set!

Regards.

Hi Marco, thank you!! for the glass material I used a node learned from @@andrewprice (my mentor) tutorial. this one:

Incredible power!

[Eric_Fondane]

superb rendering! like the colorsetting of the 1st image.

@signguy

Nice work.

It would be good to see a render with a bit less extreme camera angle.

The other beautiful thing about the e-type was its engine.

Hi signguy!! I had to use this extreme camera distortion to match the prospective of the backplates that I had, I can post some clay render with less wide angle if you want…maybe today I will place two or three clay render.

@@adriansnetlis Thank you all guys

[justinodunn]

Amazing!! really reminds me of that one scene in the film “in time”

[ivaydesign (Ivaylo Gogov [ivaydesign])]

I want to see this car into the Gallery! It’s really nice project!

[BlackRainbow]

First one is definitely the one of the best cycles car renders i’ve ever seen! Congrats on top row

[The_Sun]

My jaw just hit the floor. I’ll have to go to the doctor’s to fix it again.

AMAZING! Beautiful render, the car paint, the glass, the lighting…

Were the bridge in pic 1 and the road in pic 2 created in blender, or were they a combo of HDRI and post processing?

So realistic…

[ArneCRosenfeldt]

Can someone please explain the intent of this shader in a few words to me? There is already a built in glass shader in Blender. Blender has fundamental defects like only three base colors and no polarization. The E-Type glass is not coated. Even then, we would need interference.

@Bobb

I’ve been waiting for you to finish it and I’ll send you some detail pictures of my E-Type so that you can correct a few small errors. There’s a chrome strip that separates the front fenders from the center section, two air scoops inside the nose, the front brake calipers are on the rear of the rotors, the rotors are not drilled, the interior of the headlamp socket is a dull silver colour, and most importantly, the huge big-assed grin on the driver! I love the renders and the model, great work! If you’re going to model under the bonnet (hood) I can send a pile of images as my engine is scattered all over my garage as I do a rebuild.

Hi Bob, thanks for yu advice!! I’ll try to improve more and more this model, and your photo references will be very useful!!
I decided not to add the chrome strip for a stylistic choice, i know that strip hide the junction of the tow pieces, but I like one continuous surface. Also the headlamp interior was a stylistic choice.
Anyway, thank you for all your suggestion, I’ll try to fix all this small errors…but, above all, you should send a reference photo for the smile while driving that wonder

@@IconW Thank you so much guys I really appreciate!!

Un.Believable. As much of a car guy I am, these old gems always blow me away.

[rombout]

So beautiful! Those photomatches are just spot on, the color grading and blending is perfect. PS your site is designed well, you did this yourself?
