I'm in a artistic mood right now. The bike image brought me back to the old painting days...lol
Nils posted a image using a background from this location. Got me thinking I have a bunch of those backplates and dome but have never did anything with them. So I grabbed one and a way I went.
I decided to use Match Backplate function inside Luxion KeyShot to get the correct lens/draw. I attached a screen shot of what it looked liked with the lines lined up. I went with two point perspective. I have found it's key to place the lines as close to the area you want the vehicle to sit to get the proper draw on the camera.

Wow! One of my favorite classics, and a great model to boot!
But... I think the two-point did not work that well here. The driver's side headlight is dropped way down, below the grill, throwing a strange perspective to the image. That's my opinion, but I find it rather disruptive to anotherwise awesome rendering.

Thanks Bill !
Angle can always be subjective for sure. That image was 24mm
Going to get a huge pull when your that close to the camera. Now if I pushed that car back into the scene it would have flattened out. But would have lost that drama.
I respectively disagree.... ;D
I was hoping you would like the model. You're like me I enjoy the older stuff so much character.

Beautiful model and render Tim. Would love to see more of this model. My parents had a 1952 Buick Roadmaster when I was in grade school growing up in Los Angeles. Built like a tank.
Anyone remember when cars had vent windows, ash trays, and curb feelers?

Hey, Tim- I LOVE it! It just looks a little "twisted" to me. Curious what would happen if the far blue line was on the top wall edge?
Also, it's a great model!
My first car, in 1962, was a 1950 Chevy 2-door coupe, which my mom passed along to me when she got her 1955 Bel Aire V8. Now that was a car, despite its salmon/grey combo and slushbox. Anyway, I convinced her that the '50 straight-six "needed minor work", like a new cam, headers, bored (265 ci to 290 ci), ported and a Hurst shifter. Sure, she said! So my friends and I rebuilt it, but "added" an overhead cam conversion made by Lloyd Lanterman, who did a lot of Indy work. Had triple Stromberg side-draft carbs that sucked gas at 35 cents a gallon! Hot! Broke an axle a week at Bob's Big Boy, but well worth it! Painted it snot green, with matching green/white phony tuck-n-roll vinyl interior from JC Penny and headrests, which were a really new thing then- looked like a chiropractic pillow on two curved rods. My girlfriend loved them! Of course, she drove a 1948 Studebaker rust-rod.
Ahhh...
