Artist's Comments

This render showcases a custom BMW M3 modeled by, and commercially available at [link]. I've constructed the background elements and composed the scene in 3D Studio MAX 5.1 As part of the texturing process I created a complex multi-layer, raytraced paint material that IMHO really captures the metalic silver well. I had a lot of fun with the puddles, even though the added significantly to the render time. This was rendered in several passes (one taking over 7.5 hours on a dual 2.0GHz Xeon box!) and composited in Photoshop.

UPDATED -- OK, the hole in the hood is now covered by a rear induction cowl. I also fiddled with the reflections to make them less mirror like. Better?

could have at least put a cowl over that hole in the hood. it'd force more air into the carbeurator that way, plus it'd hide an UGLY HOLE :P (Lick)

fucking spectacular work.. the Michelin tire-dude is kinda comical lookin hehe.. nice job on detail, from seats to roll cage.. everything.. gorgeous.

and a dual 2mhz? WOOOO thats flyin ;) (Wink) I'll just assume you meant ghz :D (Big Grin) excellente, dangeruss :) (Smile)

This is an incredible render, I haven't done anything like this, but I've seen plenty and this is very well done.

As ~auroradragon said, the puddle is excelent and adds a lot to the image. The reflections on the bodywork are really good and the background is suitable, well done.

oh shit dangeruss, this is awesome. the detail on the car itself is breathtaking.

my only gripe is that puddles look way too much like glass.

great work though.

Oh my God Russ. This is fucking awesome. You have such spectacular skills with #D, I wish I could compare. +Fav for sure. I saw the thumbnail for this in my DeviantMessages, and didn't see it under your name at first, and thought someone just took a picture of a car. Then I saw your name and the word '3D' and I knew I had to come comment on this. Dude, you rock.

I just read that you didn't do the car, but the background is sweet. I just looked at it in large mode and it, too looks realistic. I'm sure you could do a car like this in a split second if you tried. It'd be an interesting thing to see. The reflection of the puddles adds a lot to the whole thing.
