The new Team RAC for the ALL MHR series.

Quote from joen :

Ok that's quite fast. I did some experimenting with Lightwave3D in the past and doing renders with that would take up so much time.

Do you mean the renders themself? Or setting it up?

My latest renders (1360x1024) took about 6 minutes each to render. The new lightwave render core is very, very fast.

This is an example of some that took 6 and a half minutes:

But if you just want simple scenes to set up and dont really want to learn anything, then the ds auto scenes and 3dmax are the way to go.

But if you have lightwave, I can send you the models that I have setup, as well as some pre set scenes I have designed.

Quote from XCNuse :

so what are you using exactly, post effects with the video thingy, or the glare with mental ray

looks pretty cool, btw righteous, on that last FXR renders, i think your tires need a bump map, just a speckle or noise that is lowered alot to give it that uneven surface look would make that look much better

also.. from the rear view... is the paint.. metallic lol?

I have said this lots of time in many places. I dont actually use 3d max. I own lightwave 3d, so that is the program I use.

Nothing you see in those renders is done in post. Its all completely done through lightwave. Which means I can animate it all. The headlights in the rice one are done using some alpha maps. I just set up the UV's, now I can add anything I want to headlights, such as extra sponsors.

The headlight glow is exactly that. I have set the headlights with a high luminosity value and applied a glow effect. I had to seperate the Headlight texture from the rest of the interior texture otherwise, I would have all those other objects attached to the interior texture glowing also.

As for the tyres. I played with them a lot and decided that was the look I was happiest with. It depends on the light. I did change the surface from the first pic though. I am happy with them. But having said that. Im never really completely satisfied with anything I do

Is the paint metalic? Unforuntely no. I could but, theres a whole new level of complication associated with that. I would need to create alpha maps of all the skins I get in order to do that. Screw that . I think i know where you are looking at. Above the rear wheel. I believe its just a light reflecting with a bit of noise. Makes it look metalic.
Glad you liked.

You guys are always so fussy. I only did it for fun. Just to try some things. I was not even going to post it, but I thougth someone might like it. ....

Fully Sick Bro

Someone might appreciate it......maybe.......LOL

Here you go, I have to go now, but if you would like a larger one let me know. Hope u like

I can change the camera angle for you to if you like.

righteous,

could i be so bold and ask you to do a render for me? maybe something along the lines of this: http://upload2.postimage.org/cars/a_r_s_e/182779/car.html

i'd appreciate it very much.

Sure thing .. Little busy at this very moment but I will get it done as soon as I have some time. The skin looks great

You may have just created the longest track ever.

Quote from jojo531 :

here's a new skin of fo8 for mr team skin and the F1 mclaren 2006~ can anyone render them for me again? thanks!

He he, I did a render too, because I liked the skins.

Well there you go, now you can have 2.

Quote from #DeXteR# :

Thanks Righteous, its nice. But I'd like to have render screne like this one by NRAP1975

Sorry m8, I am a little bored of seeing those sort of renders. Best to get someone else to do it....

Here you go dexter

LOL, thanks Ramtech. I think that I am picking up a theme with your comments. Good but,something to do with reflection, something to do with tyres

My latest creation

http://www.austraracing.com/shared/pictures/Nice%20RB4.jpg

Hey people.

Just designed an FO8 skin for myself. Just thought I would share

Looks Great thus far. Need to add some more "life" to the environment now. What you have there is really great though.

reflections on the car look great, its a shame they end becasue there is no geometry left.

Look forward to seeing a finished one

Quote from ramtech :

nice wheels.. shitty render

Probably not tottaly neccesary is it?

Hey someone was after a RB4 render on the other page. I was just playing around with some things. Anyway, heres that persons RB4. Not much but its free so take it

Quote from ramtech :

not bad man, not bad.. i like it
you could use a little bump map on the asphalt though
(and a better resolution texture maybe)

Yeah i could But its just a ingame texture sooo.... was never designed for this sort of thing.

It is just a simple scene I set up for things like this. Not to long to render, looks good enough

I save bump maps and displacement maps, incident angles etc for my own work

Glad you like though

Taken a while to get it done, but here is a render of the Norway XFR. Sorry for the delay.

Quote from NorwegianViper :

Ty,sir...anyone want to "take on" the other skins in my previous post?

I will do the XFR for you

Quote from ramtech :

$1000 ?
id say 2500-3000$ minimum
at least thats the price for a 3dsmax licence..

Yeah of course, but 3dmax is heavily over priced. Speaking personally I have a copy of lightwave, of which a full commercial version will set you back around 800 US.

So there are options, but like I said, they go well into the thousands (should have wrote instead of typing 1000 ).

I bought that to use as it should be used, not just to play around with low poly car models

It would be silly to fork out big bucks for a 3d program unless you actually plan on using it for something other than LFS stuff. Most decent high end 3d programs like, maya, c4d, 3d max, lightwave, xsi are well into the $1000 region.

Unless you qualify for student prices, but then none of your work can be used comercially.

Quote from Priitmek :

What's up with the rims?illepall
You mesh-smoothed them or something?

Obviously yes.

norway fo8

Well, I guess someone else os on your case, but I had a bit of spare time so... Here ya go.
