And thanks to Thomas Teger for being "al lado" on the subject of the wheels sidewalls:)
Tire material is too glossy for my taste. Other than that, I like it :)
Ahhh - glad to be of service ;-)! Looks great. Agree - tires are a wee bit shiny ...
I agree on the glossiness of the tyres. Although, I so far do not take it for a disaster. Especially, with my experience in automotive photography when tyres are usually sprayed heavily to make a glossy clean look, you know... I would dare say this look of the tyres in my render is an ideal dream by a regular car photog:) Yes, I could have made them rough but I like the cleanliness of them at this stage.
By the way, I find the pixel blur set at maximum 3 in the render settings amazingly good to good to effectively unsharp the render and to even it with a photographically "natural" feel.
