Car Rendering Techniques Part 01

by a.cangelosi

In this new video tutorial for 3D Studio Max 2011, we’ll take a look at car rendering techniques. This tutorial series will be split in various parts. In part 1, we’ll pick a car model, and we’ll create a basic studio lighting setup and a basic environment, to start shading it. We’ll prepare a basic car paint shader, and then we’ll move to rims shader using Arch&Design template and changing its parameters and properties, then we’ll move to brake discs and a basic tire shader. Studio lighting setup will be prepared using three MR Area spot with different colors and intensity value.

    Please, look for references of real car studio setups. This is wrong here.

      The lighting setup we prepared on this tutorial is a basic studio lighting done just to start working on car shaders. As we told in the tutorial our final step is to match a real photo and put the car on it. So our purpose was not to create a real car studio setup.

      We can plan to prepare something like that in the future to continue our Car Rendering series.

      Thanks
