FAI-M WWII CAR

Alexenstein

Hi guys here's my car scene, it's a 4112 poly and a 2048 texture map for the car all done in 3DS and Photoshop

I hope you like it!

its a little dark, and is the render real time?

Alexenstein

It's not realtime, it's render in 3DS

I will bright it up a bit cause it's for my portfolio and i don't want recruiter to search for the modeling/texturing.

I will update it a bit later

Thanks

AnimeAngel

try brightening up the texture a bit.
Also get rid of the black background. Use either a light gray/ white or a gradient. That would help show it off much better

Make the whole render brighter, you can't see the little details in the dark.

set your renders on a white background.

I would avoid a completely black background or a completely white background, true gray might be better.

Alexenstein

Thank you very much guys for your comments and time, i understand now the importance of not rendering in pure black or white.

So here what i've done

It almost looks to rounded to me and I am not sure whats causing it. Is your normal map generated off of a texture?

Alexenstein

Yes it's from the texture map

Alexenstein

Hey guys! So i have redone my NRM map and crisp it a bit more so it can look less round and i find it more punch by doing so! Thanks Apophis3d for your comments.

It's not so obvious to see the difference though

Good progress man The ground texture on the pediestal looks a bit blurry though, but that might just be me. You could probably go all the way and add some actual wheel-tracks on there xD

Alexenstein

Man i watch the ground and i was like OMG it is blurry!
But since my class finish this week i'll leave it like that for now cause i'm finishing an other scene, so i will not update it soon!
But man, thank you very much!
