Old model and new composite.

The first is definitely the best.

The second would make sense but none of the onlookers are looking at the bike hahah

[simmsimaging]

Second is pretty good too - but you might want to add some bump to the road to break up the bike's shadow a bit (or do it in post). It looks a bit sharp/clean right now

Otherwise great as usual.

Wow... 1st and 2nd but trash the 3rd

[sandykoufax]

Thank you very much for your feedback, friends.

Nowadays, I'm exercising the composition.

But I want to know how can I control the shadow sharpness in case of using physical sky + sun.

I think the shadow of physical sunlight is too black and sharp.

Very nice work mr.koufax! Good use of Maxwell's channels, i'll have a closer look at them for my next render.

Thank you, Adrian.

Any idea?

Photoshop?

[simmsimaging]

My guess is the surface you are using as a shadow catcher probably could be adjusted. A slightly rougher material or something with a bump would give you a more natural and softer/broken up edge.

Overall these are looking pretty good Jeong-ho, but I'm not sure it's up to your usual level of realism. It feels a bit more plastic-like than I'm used to seeing in your gallery.

[sandykoufax]

You're right, simmsimgaing.

It looks like a plastic toy car, especially engine room.

[simmsimaging]

It still looks like something much, much more complex than I have done, or could do

It's not far off - just some tweaking would take it the rest of the way if that's what you wanted to do.

[sandykoufax]

OK, thanks.

I'll try again.
