Description
Hi all,
Many many thanks for the previous favs, comments and crits on Katana, I really appreciate the support.
This is for those of you who don't like motorbikes and appreciate a bit of muscle.
I'm just having some fun with the whole HDRI lighting thing and different methods of implementing it.
I wouldn't consider these finished normally but feel they look good enough.
This differs from Katana in the fact, it's not a true HDRI render.
It uses an HDRI probe I made and a photo wrapped on a sphere, with Vue grass for the base.
I couldn't decide which one I liked best so here's a selection.

fantastic realism mate!

Great lighting, you're way ahead of me on the HDRI track. The car looks great. As an audience member, one aspect of most of the high-end rendering that doesn't delight me as much is that I get the feeling like the subject is always in shadow, there is no direct lighting and so the featured object feels less important. In that respect, the three renders you've got here look really great and have a bit more 'ooomph' in the lumenins department. Look forward to future such experiments.

Fantastic realism! Personally I prefer the third version but that is a matter of taste! Well done!!

Hey- no joke here, no exaggeration- I opened this image up and thought I was looking at three photographs processed with different effects in Photoshop- I didn't even think of a 3D application as having rendered this- so.. you are onto something big my friend! This looks damn good and damned REAL!!

The second one is my favourite, the setting look more natural, shadows are softer, and the reflections are nicer. Excellent work in realism.

This is just absolutely brilliant use of spheres! Amazing realism.One of,if not the realist Vue render i have seen in my time here.

Top marks on realism Chris, my pick of the series would be the centre one, the whole scene oozes realism. Love that car. Excellent work mate! Did you see that Vauxhall Viva conversion on telly last week...9.4 litre engine, automatic gearbox, 0 to 60 in ONE second! and faster than Bugatti's latest showpiece!! I had a Viva years ago, a blacktop and that was some motor, never done 0 to 60 though lol!

Shades of Grind House's "Death Proof" Long HDRI Render times I'll bet!

A perfect example of realism with HDRI. Superb work Chris, incredibly realistic, the light is just right, it's not overdone & those reflections are spot on. Great choice of car & POV's!

These all look so real! I've been sitting here comparing them for a long time. Love the different reflections on the cars.
