Detailed Texturing - Photo to Render

[Jayesh Patil]

This was my late submission for Will gibbon's Discord Challenge.

This one took more time than I thought it would. Couldn't find the exact models and textures but my main objective was to capture the ambience in the reference picture.

Picture by Dominykas Liberis, https://www.behance.net/gallery/138793235/chajka.

The reason to choose this image was because of the lighting and mood, which I have always loved in Dominykas Liberis's Images and wanted to give it a try.

Also there are some more shots I got from this scene.

Models from https://wirewheelsclub.com
Textures From Quixel Megascans.

Feedbacks are welcome.

Nice mood!

Great work! I love the color grading and the mood a lot!
My only criticism is that the roughness on the body paint is way too much for my taste. It almost made it look like a leather material. I would go with a more glossy metallic paint with a little bit of noise map as a subtle bump, then use the same roughness map that you used to add a little bit of imperfection to the surface. This was just my 2 cents, great work overall. Specially with the lighting! Keep it up!

Thanks for the insight Hossein,
I have a glossy one rendering right now as well. I will share it as soon as it renders which is an eternity later because of those volumetrics

Here are some more and refined shots, with a glossy paint on the hood.

Now we're talking!! I love it! and great new camera angels as well! Keep it up!
Since you're doing great with the mood creation, I have a suggestion for you for your upcoming scene if you like to give it a try! Use the same car model but this time, I imagine seeing it in a gas station, night time, a cool market in the corner and bunch of cool lights! It would be great! I think there are millions of inspirations on Pinterest as well!

Crazy good. And just love the mood as well.

Those last two shots look really nice!

@Hossein Alfideh Thanks for the suggestion. I think it will be a good excercise for me to control and optimise scenes in keyshot using Physical Lights. I would like to give it a try.
