Maybe You will not like my post...

Well I should think not ! ... lol.. C'mon now... I don't think you really meant that ..


I'm impressed...

I use 99% only my models, my materials and everything there.

I'm a bit confused, what's your point?
You know, I don't think the Maxwell forum rules states that you absolutely have to express your opinion on every subject, regardless if you have anything smart to say.

Constructive critique is always welcome and very useful, but comments like yours is really a waste of time, and doesn't stimulate the desire to share work here.
Why are you so angry, relax a bit, take a day off and enjoy the summer.

Maybe You will not like my post, but what is Your work here? Rendering is work of Maxwellrender, modeling is work of Behr Bros, HDR backplate maybe? If Yes You have to post Your work on Photoshop forum.

Is there anything wrong with showing renderings and compositing? No one else has ever shown something like this on the Maxwell forum, so I basically just did this to test out my skills in compositing and show what's possible with Maxwell and HDRI light..

Not that I couldn't have done this myself but modelling this car from scratch would take months, and it would give me nothing, a waste of time. However, there was some work in it, as glass has to be solids to look real, all windows and lights I had to do myself, same with the 12 air intakes, all grills I had to model myself.

I guess you, for what ever reason, question my skills in modeling? Take a look at this, it's all my designs and constructions, made from scratch: http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... =7&t=33643 Note that the first photo is a photo of the real thing. The speakers are sold all over the world, I create real things.

Why do you show your work, all the cars you use are some you just bought, so it pointless to show, right?

Best, Kim

Hi Neeper,
1, Of course, it is not wrong to show renderings of models bought from others.
2, I am very sorry, i couldn't see You have remodeled all transparent parts to make volume. I was doing it few years ago with my models, it took about 5 minutes per car.
3, Compositing is very easy here, try to make compositing with architecture into fish eye photo
4, Modeling cars from scratch that takes months is real hard work, rendering them on backplates is very fast thing, especially with Maxwellrender that do not need any render setup like Vray for example.
5, It is not good idea to drive this expensive low suspension car in the forest
6, I am very happy that there are many people like You because these are often my customers

Hi arkviz

I can only refer to my last post, I'm confused, I don't understand what you are trying to say, what is your agenda?

Edit: I will try to read between the lines and give my best estimate of what you are trying to say: I, arkviz, I'm the best, I do all modeling myself which is mandatory to show renderings on Maxwell RENDER forum, you suck, you are an amateur, go be ashamed.

Is this correct, or is there something I misunderstood, you are a bit unclear?

Hi neeper .. i like your gallery and the sls too =)

Don't you know arkviz's gallery ? Really not ?
http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... 22&start=0
Well its best the gallery here in the forum and his lowpoly cars do look so much better in his great compositings

sorry arkviz but your postings are simply ridiculous

[Half Life]

arkviz, you are being an ass for no good reason -- manners are important in a professional environment... while you may believe you are right, you are totally doing a disservice to your name/reputation/credibility/likability.

Personally I thought it was a very nice composite, with some issues that Neeper can address and learn from -- whats wrong with that?

relax, go render something

Best,
Jason.

Neeper:
i want to say that i don't know what can i comment on Your car rendering, because both model and backplate (with lighting) are from another author not You.
I don't want to say i am best.
djflod:
Maybe You don't like it, but my lowpoly car models are popular enough.

My first words here were: "Maybe You will not like my post"
I still didn't say any critics to rendering and i became very unpopular as i see.

I am on holiday this time

arkviz: I really didn't want to go here, but I really think you misunderstood something very basic.

This is Maxwell Render, the most photorealistic 3D rendering program on the planet. I took a look at all your work, and basically non of it looks like it's made in Maxwell??
I mean, it's not bad, but it could all have been done easier and faster in a ray tracer, why waste the time on an un-biased engine if you doesn't even try to make it photorealistic anyway?
And why post work that doesn't look like it's made in Maxwell on Maxwell Render forum?

This is not to start a pissing contest, but more to say that you might have misunderstood the whole point of Maxwell.
It all makes a lot more sense now...

Best, Kim

yep ... and you modeled them all by yourself

nothing to add

[kami]

very nice rendering. I don't get all that fuzz though ...
In my opinion the only thing not perfect is the car model, some surfaces look a bit weird (not curved nice enough)

[pavel59]

I believe Arkviz was kidding, it couldn't be different.
I had a look to his own gallery and everything is flat, total lack of vision (point of view are wrong), very poor rendering settings... what are you talking about ?

First of all I would suggest you a good class in Photographic techniques, then an intense study of material settings and texturing, finally, take your time for reading the Maxwellrender manual, just to have a start.
Then, before making sarcastic comments, count up to ten, take a deep breath, relax and think twice again.

Neeper, good job, although some annoying issues with the reflections, I also appreciate a lot your speakers, good design.
You possibly need some improving in texturing (some of the speakers veneer appear to be too flat and unnatural) just like every one of us.

Keep doing the good job

...very poor rendering settings...
Paolo

Maxwellrender has some rendering settings?
I know only about materials and cameras.
Why You didn't write Your critics for my work in my gallery thread when it was actual? Or now maybe here http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... 19&t=34814.
If You have about 75% of area rendering photo background it must looking like photo.

[pavel59]

I simply couldn't avoid to comment the inappropriate tone of your comments, especially because they weren't supported by an exceptional technique and knowledge.

I don't want to argue, at all. However, since you points out that "rendering settings", it's a matter of fine tuning and balancing between environment, lights, materials, camera settings. All together I call this "rendering settings", aren't we here on a render forum ?

And a good job start with a good preparation. If your background images aren't good, I mean they suffer a bad exposure, a wrong point of view, a wrong lens and so far, take your time and shot new ones or, eventually, fix them in photoshop before using as a background.

A poor background shouldn't drive a poor rendering.

BTW, the images of the car on the road are good.
