Ferrari 430

[canmark]

Day 2 on the 430. Lots of bumps to get rid of.

[canmark]

Another render. Need some tips on smoothing out the bumps. What techniques do you guys us to get such smooth meshes?

[Callan2k]

What program?
I use max/ polymodeling. The trick I use is just to do it hardcore!. Pan around and move vertex in perspective. I have another technique, I use relax, a tool in editable poly. Playing around with the selection of vertex and then some value changes in relax parameters. I working quiet nice.
I do quiet dens meshes so the relax technique working well.

Less vertices gives you more control, thus ending - when doing correctly - in a smoother result

[Callan2k]

@NightEye, I mean more vertex give more control if you use relax :mrgreen:

[XSImatrix]

you should also make sure your keeping quads, and makes sure you keep enough polies around tight corners for the smothing to work out since you cant smooth a right angle ( 90degree ) corner very well without strecthing. (so make it round enough in lowpolymode and add meshsmooth or turbo smooth after.

Getting smoother

[XSImatrix]

looks better, still a bit bumpy,

[revelli]

i like your ferrari, it is on some places bumped, but if you improve your renders with hdri or some white plances it will be greate

nice job

[canmark]

Trying to get good render with Vray.
Just can't get the lights, chrome head lights, and glass to look right
I'm using HDRI with vraylights. Any suggestions
The lights are made with a chrome reflector material and glass material with a bump map

[revelli]

it is going to be better and better
just make the tailights more reflective

[steveee]

The top of the side window isnt uite round enough, there is a sharp bend in it

Can we get a clay render?

(Offtopic: how do I make a clay render with Brazil?)

[NightEye]

I must say you've improved a lot!
I really like the last two renders btw Hope to see some final ones soon

[canmark]

Thanks, it's starting to get better. Here are some clay renders. The flaws jump right out in clay.

Getting closer

Just the piecyness of the shadow there(= reflective surface smoothing I assume), and the smoothness issue there around the taillights were the only detail problems I picked up on*

Tail lights a little better.

i think i know what you need to do, make a copy of the tail light that smaller and put it on the insdie with a high reflectivity (chrome) mat, than the bigger one could be used to act as a glass with some reflectivity and very little IR. should help.
