Hi guy's just a little something I played around with today. Trying to give some life to a studio shot. Also I wanted to do as little retouch as possible.
The only thing I did when it came to retouch is: background and some highlights on the Charger.

Maya
Keyshot
HDRILightStudio 3
Photoshop
Comments welcome.

Wow! The background is stunning, and spot on for the subject. I personally think the tires could use a little Armor All, and there's something odd about the orangish, rather solid looking, turn signals... But again, Wow! Nice job! And I really like how you use a subtle border to crisp it all up.

Thanks Bill for stopping by and commenting. I will fix turn signal and tires.
Thanks

Very cool - awesome work as always, Tim!

Great composition Tim. I'm a fan of your backgrounds. Maybe write a PS background tutorial for the KeyShot Blog? As you know, the background can make the difference between a good render and a great render.

Nice Job!

I'm having... challenges... giving white objects "life" without cheating and reflecting another object in them.

Would you mind posting a snapshot of the HDRI environment you created for this shot? I'm curious how complicated it need to be.

Cheers!

Thanks for the snapshot of the HDR; It definitely helps give me some sense of how you achieved your results.

Awesome. Yes, thanks for the HDR. A user over on the KeyShot Facebook page was asking about it as well! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=355233311170710&set=a.150550678305642.27167.146897758670934&type=1&theater

Josh,
This is not a HDR, but, it shows what it looked like.
