Achtung baby ! * new *

Hi fellas,
I think I should put a [done] stamp on this one now, one of my fav cars, a german marvel.

  • updated 31 Dec *
    one more indigo version in a diff pose

  • updated 17Dec06 *
    rendererd in indigo now, finally working on materials for a while and I thought I should try indigo for it.


    Special thanks to Lynx and Alvaro for help with lighting
    still working on a better yafray version

c & c are welcome
cheers

Wow. Hotness. The textures are good (I like the leather, particularly), and the design, if a little bland, is well-executed and clean, with no flaws that I can see. Nicely done.

Needs some pedals, and carpet and itll be sharp as all get out.

great.looks like magazine photos.(hdri?)

Nice attention to detial… But where’s the foot pedals?!

It’s missing windshield wipers and pedals.

Very nice model man!
But what is Actung? Did you mean Achtung?

Hello guys :slight_smile:
thank you for all the replies

Oh my god ! mistakes, mistakes,

  • there are no pedals, wipers
  • I thought there was something missing in Ac-h-tung, sheesh :eek:

well, I have to correct those
thanx

The lighting of this scene is far from good IMO.
HDRI lighting should be banned. It is harming the noobs and it is being abused as a cheap and nasty way of lighting scenes.

Hi mate!

I’m very happy to see you finished the Merc.
I’m even more pleased to see it looks great! Everything is perfect; model, textures, colours,…
Can’t wait to see it complete. This 300SL needs a pedal to put it to the metal. :wink:
Keep it up and plz post a huge picture when it’s finished so we can all set it as our wallpaper! :smiley:
Ciao,
Gallardo

Hi Alvaro ! thanks for the comment :slight_smile:
but I am a bit confused, is my lighting setup good ? or far-away from good ? because the last line says something different :confused:
the above images were rendered however in yafray, but thats as far as I can stretch yafray.

hey gallardo !
nice to hear from you too, it was actually your comment earlier that got me thinking about remodeling this one :smiley: thanks !
I will render a king size image now …

Thanx once again

New flinstones car!!! lol… im just kidding, that’s very good! i loved it all. the textures, materials everything, and it’s a very nice car too!

she’s a peach - very fine indeed.

Just wondering: why the “achtung baby”? Is it because you’re a u2-fan or is there another reason? I can’t see the link with the car (:o ), except for it’s german.

Love the car, awesome textures and materials. The seats look awesome but it looks a little to glossy

gallardo: hey gallardo :smiley: you gave the two reasons away

  • its a german car
  • I am a u2 fan
  • although I am not an expert in german, achtung suggests a caution/warning
    thats all, cheers

Ambrose: thanks mate, I agree about the seat material as well, a different render will be coming up soon

c ya

new version update (see post #1)

hey rishi…nice work man…yes u do need to work on lighting a bit though…i lill brighter maybe…

I think Achtung means ‘attention’

It looks pretty solid with modeling :slight_smile: the Indigo render looks good, though it still could use more ambiance light.
