Mini Cooper in da House

[feher]

Hi All,
I did this Sunday while watching a boring Detroit Lions football game.....
I'm adding the image at different stages of the creation.
I used the match background function, HDRI Editor inside Keyshot.
Post done in Photoshop.
Notice how I try to get the shot as close to 100% correct with materials and lighting before I hit render.
I never tell myself I'll fix it in post. I will fix it before I render.
Enjoy
Tim

Hello Tim. Great work, i like the warm/cold contrast of the lights. Everything seems to be spot on. Cheers !

I love the warm light on that last one!

You should have watched the Cowboy game instead 

Love the shot!

Hi Tim.
Awesome job. Looks stunning.
Always interesting to see the process.

Notice how I try to get the shot as close to 100% correct with materials and lighting before I hit render.
I never tell myself I'll fix it in post. I will fix it before I render.

True, but that final color grading and general adjustments that you do in post, just puts the icing on the cake - at least in my eyes

First off, great work Tim. Your eye for composition and lighting is a thing to envy!

I used the match background function, HDRI Editor inside Keyshot.

The match perspective tool, or something else? I can't seem to find that one. I tend to have problems with matching up HDRI's to backdrops, the light always seems off when I try
