Car Paint Shader problem

KidNamedAnt

Hey guys

Currently working on a project for University where I've designed my own car and have modelled it in 3ds Max.

Currently having a problem with the car paint shader. The environment map is working on the back & side of the car, however stops when it gets to the front. Was just wondering if anybody knows how I could fix the problem.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Looking good! You could try altering the values of the specular highlight to see if that works.
Also, you should ensure that 'shadows are on' as without them it looks like the car is floating.
Nice work though mate, keep it up!

Hey amingtonspitfires, thanks for the feedback.

The side of the car looks great, but like you said the hood and front body kit look flat. I do not know anything about shaders or rendering in Max, but you might need a better lighting set up.

Looking really good KidNamedAnt, I would say the spec map needs to be highlighted more on the front so it looks more like the side of the car. minor criticism though, very good piece of work.

putting a few more lights in might help... anyways wouldn't a garage roof like that have more lights?.. should fit and hopefully bring out the look you want with alil tweaking

Using a better cube/environment map would be an easy cheat.
