That is lovely. That link to the Viper model would be lovely too.

I agree the first two are fantastic. What lighting was used?

This is one very belated reply.

I am mainly a retoucher of images. I want to augment my business with photorealistic rendering capabilities. I use Bunkspeed Shot right now, but I am not fully happy with the quality. The images always seem to have a illustrative feel to them. Even the rough samples ...

OK. I am a complete novice in the to the 3d world. I am really good at photoshop, but have no clue when it comes to 3d rendering. Can anyone recommend the best way to get started? I just want to get Octane working as intended and I am very lost in the interface, terms, etc.

All the tutorials I have ...

I am not at all experienced with 3d or rendering software. If I am supplied with or purchase a model, how hard is it to get a quality render such as this?

Cheers.
