Sabre car in a studio

[Sam]

Model by http://www.colacola.se/
Original size was 4096 by 2048 but.. the model wasn't high poly enough
So I resized it to hide the low-poly look... I could subdivide everything and re-render also

What's interesting here is the light
Look at the tires, how can the light come from below ?
Its simple, the ground is a diffuse material at 50% opacity

great

we definately need more cool car renders

The only bad thing with this render is... well... the render time
At 4096 pixels by 2048 its really over kill

[radiance]

ahhh, due to that light on the tires i thought it was rendered with directlighting...

long rendertime ? well, it's clean, super-clean.
and what is long nowadays ? i used to leave lux render in the background for 2 days on a high-res final about a year ago.
3 years ago i rendered 12 hours with 7 PCs in a network.

YEAH BABY , I want some of this.
Very cool render, I wish I have more spare time to play with my car collection...
What was the render time looks like ?

[Sam]

9h for 11'000 samples per pixels at 4096 by 2048 pixels without filtering

Yeah overkill

But that was useless, like I said the model is not high-poly enough for this resolution...
