2 mpfive What can you say about flakes size ? At www.3dcenter.ru peoples said to me what flakes looks like unrealistic. Now i'm rendering another picture with color HDRI

[mpfive]

yesli pravdu skazatz, ya dumau shto hlopki ochin harsho viglidat, mojit bits chuchuts pamensha, no nibudit balshoi raznitzi
ne magu dajdatza shtob uviditz novi render

trans: honestly i think the flake size looks good, maybe just a bit smaller, but it wont make a major difference
cant wait to c the new render w/ hdri*

BTW: i really like how ur model of the car turned out, very well done, u got my thumbs up

The car paint looks really good IMO, the model itself does too. But fix that tire tread, it just looks like a black and white pattern instead of an actual tread texture

2 SSJ3_Vegeta , it's not final render picture. I have been tuning only car paint. Other materials i'll tuning soon.

hmm, you still need alot of work on materials, problem is it doesnt look real, the paint it set up wrong.

when looking straight at the car the reflections should not be high, it should be very dull, and the areas on the highest angle should be most reflective, (the areas of the car facing away from camera and such)

Fallof maps simulate this,

about flake size, too bad brazil isnt like vray where you can adjust glossiness value to make flake. srry i cant help you with that.

2 XSImatrix OK. I'll correct strenght of reflection///

"bad brazil isnt like vray where you can adjust glossiness value to make flake"

But Brazil has glossines & sample rate controller, which change flake size
