Title: Morgan Plus 4
Post by: Beppemoth on February 12, 2015, 11:27:39 AM
Hello guys! I started recently to use Keyshot it and I'm having a lot of fun exploring this powerful tool. This is my second attempt at an automotive rendering. I've tried a studio setup at first but I wasn't quite happy with it, so I tried an external scene and I think it's better. Of course comments and critiques are heavily welcome!

Very nice work, i love older model. Just push it more, i would like to see on first pic with less photographic effects..and maybe without tire floating, with more weight.
Thumb up guy

thank you guys! slater, I tried to recreate all the imperfections that can occour in real-life photography, like flares, chromatic aberration, grain and stuff like that, to make it look a bit more real but don't know if I've pushed it a bit too much.. I'm not quite sure about what you mean by saying without tire floating

It's a problem almost all of us face. The tires usually sit right up on the very tangency of the diameter, without showing the weight of the car compressing them a tiny bit.  Some model a "bulge" and a small flat that sits on the ground or ground plane.  I usually use a small flat only, as bulges are difficult in SolidWorks.

But you can import a ground plane, or add in the KeyShot ground plane, and then very carefully move it up a tad to just "sink" the tires into the ground.  You don't have to show it as such.

Personally, I love the look you captured in the first image, as it reminds me of the many car shots I took back in the early 1960's with Kodachrome and my Brownie Bullseye 120 camera!  Aberrations, fading and all!
