So, I wanted to revisit one of the models I enjoyed rendering the most and frankly my goal was to push it as far as I could in keyshot without ever doing any post work. (though I did use it to try adding chromatic aberration in post but that's on another image...)

Anyway here's the results so far, I'm testing out some different colour schemes at the moment and if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, or thoughts on a good colour scheme. On a side note, I want to give Tim a big shout out because I have to say, you are the man! Thank you so much for helping me out with pushing my renderings further and your webinar is invaluable!

I love the look you have here. Perfect for this car. Only thing to look at perhaps is making the paint slightly more metallic, giving the windows some iridescence and the headlamps a glassier appearance.

Will we see a shot with the doors up?

[John B]

Thanks Josh. Yeah, I can see what you mean about the headlamps needing a glassier appearance. I'll give it a shot shortly.

I'm fairly confident that a shot with the doors up can be arranged 

EDIT: A little slow on an update... it's been a long week. I tweaked the headlights a bit as well as the glass. I tried tweaking the paint but just never was too satisfied with it being more metallic. Anyway here's the updated rendering

There were also a few minor things that got corrected from the original rendering
