Hi,

after spending hours on modeling this car, I wanted it to look very realistic.
But at the end of the day I had no idea how to make it look 100% realistic... but i'm just a beginner in Octane

What do you think?

The colour for the car is too saturated you can try to tone it down it bit. In a real photo colours would not be that highly saturated. Maybe replace the ground material with asphault or concrete and make the just add a small amount of reflection and increase the roughness. Play around with tonemapper and exposure settings. Also bring the reflection down a bit on the car as its a bit too much.

Yes, you're right. It is much too saturated, i'll change this.
And maybe it would be an good idea to change the ground texture. But i dont know how to bring the reflection down on the ground while the value is already 0... ?

I'm gonna play with all these things and upload a new picture within the next few days.
By the way. The reason for the high value of saturate is based on the fact, that the color of my pictures will change when i export it with Octane (as .png)
So on a picture i'll never get the color i want.
Why don't you implement an jpg Exporter?

sorry, you can maybe just use a diffuse material for the ground. Since you can control the reflection on the 90 degree angle, what
you can do is use a mix material and add your ground texture for both materials and set them as glossy and diffuse and then mix between
them so now you control how reflection if any will be shown.

I'm not understanding this. The image exported should look exactly like the image rendered.

Nice first render its way better then my first octane work lol.

I think you need to start taking real life pictures and learn to apply them in octane render.
Im doing a series of octane tutorials at Mtimtam on youtube, check it out if you are a beginner.

Anyway there are some things in here that just seem very unrealistic, such as:

The ground, the reflection does not suit the ground texture at all.
There is also no bump mapping to it, bump/normal mapping is very important when it comes to realism

Next is the car, i dont know if it is the material but the topology on the car door/back seems distrouded.The wheels look amazing though
The background really is annoying and the reflections on the car dont look real, they look more forced, also the emitting light on the background on the right is a really distracting me to the work at hand [the car]

The textures also dont match the scene, there is a gravel/stone like ground then a deep yellow wall?


Here is something that is by no means better [modeled in 10 min], but shows the disciplines should be taken into account,
such as textures, bump/normal mapping and knowing what light sources to use.

Great article …Thanks for your great information, the contents are quiet interesting.

You did that in 10 minutes?????????????? Can´t believe it....

i think he meant the scene, not the car itself. if it was elsewise, i'd go dying right away

Let´s hope he did. Otherwise we´d loose quite a number of guys here in the forum committing suicide
