I've always wanted to use this particular HDR (Dosch) but kept putting it on the back burner. It's been a bit rainy/foggy here today and I saw a road that reminded me of this particular HDR...so I gave in and finally used it.

I did not model the Porsche, only texture/light/render.

Trying to expand my portfolio a bit by including some non-mental ray renders. As usual with me & vehicles, the mesh was provided by someone else.

VRay materials (naturally) and I lit the scene with my own panoramic HDR image and matching back plate. At 4k resolution my panoramic HDR's aren't cutting it for large renders (notice the stretched environment reflections on the paint). Guess I'll have to try some wide angle lenses instead of my fisheye so I can create higher resolution HDR's.

FWIW, here's a small preview of the environment HDR:

A while back I purchased a Sigma fisheye lens for my digital camera and I've finally used it for what I purchased it for...to create panoramic .HDR images. This render is using my first homemade panoramic .HDR image (yaaaay!).

FWIW, here's what my panoramic .HDR looked like:


NOTE: I did not model this vehicle, it was provided by others. I textured the vehicle, lit the scene, and of course created the environment HDR.]]> Sun, 08 Feb 2009 20:29:48 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/717165

Wanted to add a more typical studio example to my portfolio. The blurred light reflections aren't caused by photoshop work or glossy paint material. I used soft light boxes for the lights instead (notice the sharp reflection of the side mirrors on the door).]]> Sun, 11 Jan 2009 08:50:31 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/717163

Since I don't really have any studio shots here in my portfolio, wanted to add a couple. I know this one doesn't really make a lot of the vehicle visible...I just thought it was kind of neat looking.]]> Sun, 11 Jan 2009 08:48:06 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/610719

This was mainly just a test render (probably seems like that's all I do)...but the SLR model came from Evermotion (thanks), here's the link: http://www.evermotion.org/vbulletin...ead.php?t=64865

So, in this render I created the lighting, texturing, and composition, but not the modeling of the car.]]> Thu, 20 Mar 2008 03:58:38 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/717161

I guess it's the time of year (Christmas) that made me think about these little cars that I collected when I was a kid. I used this Ford mesh (again) from Christophe Deese to create the "Deese Deuce".

Just a few composite tests. Model was created by someone else, I just compose, texture, light, and render.

Updated to include a similar render using a back-plate & environment probe I created.

Thought I'd try to diversify my portfolio a bit from the normal architecture/vehicle stuff. This is my attempt at one of the lighting challenges here at CGSociety.

Being the car freak I am, when I read that Christophe Desse had graciously shared more of his modeling talent with the 3d community for playing/testing, I simply had to partake.

This model is created by Dwayne Ellis http://www.dwayne-ellis.com/

I configured the scene in mental ray with the mrSun/mrSky, one skylight portal at the window opening, and one photometric light in the shower area. Subtle DOF was added in post as well as the chromatic aberration and slight color correction.]]> Mon, 10 Mar 2008 17:20:38 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/546507

A simple lighting/texturing study of a "modern" bathroom scene. Several of the models are from Evermotion. Both renders use photometric lights with IES profiles. The day time version also has sky portals outside the windows and a mrSun/mrSky. Both global illumination and final gather were used for the indirect lighting.]]> Wed, 02 Jan 2008 13:33:28 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/591734

Anytime I go out I try to take my digital camera with me so I can either grab some reference photos, textures, or in this case I took my handy "Christmas ornament on a stick" with me to grab some photos/probes for use with the new mental ray production shaders.

The production shaders are fairly easy to configure (and can be darn useful)...Kudo's to Zap!]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 05:42:32 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/554169

This scene is part of the current rendering challenge at 3dallusions.com. The untextured & unlit model itself was provided by the site, and created by Branko Jovanovic.

I just had to light, texture and render the scene. I used mental ray in 3dsmax9. I used the "low" FG preset, but there are a few fg artifacts that should clear up with some higher settings. But for a 32 minute render...I thought it wasn't bad.]]> Wed, 18 Oct 2006 18:27:39 +0000 http://jeffpatton.cgsociety.org/gallery/417940

This model comes from a thread at Vizdepot.com. The goal of the thread & providing the model is/was to display different lighting configurations in Mental Ray (3dsmax), and then discuss the settings.
The untextured & unlit model was provided in the thread and of course it's design was based on Jonatan's (aka Sytron) wonderful Maxwell render here:
[url]http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=1671368&postcount=1[url]
I know it's a bit dark near the camera, mainly due to my editing in photoshop. The original render was a bit brighter. However, I liked the contrast, so I left the dark areas in (even though it's unatural looking).
Comments and critiques are certainly welcomed.
