One tip I can give you or ask you is to please not do studio renders with trucks. They look way too fake in a studio.

I agree with you RedStar and i will make both version. In fact i plan to, for the 1st time, try to match my truck with some nice road picture. Can any1 post link of some good photo matching tut ? THX

Small update. Still don't have any good idea for truck materials and just start to work on my basic scene setup.... Here is result....

You should avoid the point of view in the first render. It's too high for being from human eye, and too low for a bird / plane view. So it gives me the feeling of your model being a toy.

The second one is much better, because it looks like a plane view at low altitude.

For the shaders, you should work on one at a time, just for modeling. First, focus on easy ones : chrome, black and red paints. Try to render it with an HDRI around, because the black background gives you no reflection at all.

Keep it up, you're doing a good job.

THX for advices Tom. I must read some tuts. for HDRI.

Here is just a small update. I must admit that i don't have clear idea about environment. So i just work like a robot and add object around than delete all except object that fit in to my eye :-))) if you understand me mate :-))) Slow peace but as i say, one more update......

Well Tom.... here is simple sky HDRI.... chroma is much better now....

Nice render, just keep taking care of your cam angles. Try to reproduce credible point of views, like I tried to explain previously. The last you used is fine, but the framing of the picture isn't that interesting.

Another scene setup. Urban version....
