    I think I'm getting the hang of Iray rendering. Here is my latest. A GTA conversion. 1937 Cord 812 on a DT HDRI backgraound. Full sphere with HDRI sunlight straightup overhead like 12:00 (notice the shadow is right under the car). The brighness sets Tom2099s Bahama Blue shader off just right. One hour bake.

    OK....now you are showing too much girl and not enough car! With that said, I'd say Stormy has a pretty nice ride. Love the old coke machine...looks like a sketchup conversion to me.

    I remember those old Coke machines as well as the ones where the bottles hung in abox full of ice and water and you slid them down the rail to one end then over until they were at the gate then into the gate where you could pull it up and out and you didn't dare let it slip out of your fingers and drop back because the gate would lock

    Then you would have to put in another dime, or get the store clerk to get it out for you!!

    Both nice.  I saw some nice real old cars while up in New Hampshire this past week.  Couldn't tell you what they were, but they were cool and very well maintained.

    You're funny!  I was never a big car nut.  I have appreciation for the older cars and styles.  But I don't know a whole lot about them and can't tell some of them apart.  I can guess pretty good, though.  Until it comes to foreign cars, then the  only ones I have a clue about are modern ones....well, those and a Rolls has a certain look to it.

    Youngster.  Hahahaha.  I graduated high school in 1971!

    Are we talking cokes here or cattle?...HA!

    I do remember the flip cap on the top of the short square machines where you flip it open and reach in and pull the drink up and out of a slot. Back when drinks were actuallu ice cold. Not like those convienience store luke warm drinks. A 61/2 oz. coke in the little green bottle with a pack of planters peanuts poured in it was the ultimate.

    Nice render

    Flunked High School biology as well but then it was more of a botany class as the teacher had a thing for corn plants and coming from a farming background I'd heard all about corn that I cared to years before the class

    Heck, I flunked first grade, and then didn't even finish high school, went to Columbine for half a year, the year it opened, 1973!

     

  • GLWoodardGLWoodard Posts: 3,335

    I'm going to go play in DAZ a little bit now, need to render another car, even though I've gotten the 61 Impala to look a little bit better after converting it to an obj again, still can't seem to get it good and straight and clean, sometimes those warehouse models just suck in a way!

    Well, I don't agree that they're all ugly.  But there are some that are literally a box with wheels!  I don't understand how anyone could like them, aside from a child with a string to pull one of them!  cheeky  And they certainly don't look very aerodynamic, either.  But I do see a strong similarity amongst Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, etc.  But that happened when Ford made the Taurus.  For a while everybody made cars that looked like that one.  I like the looks of my Camry.  Except for the paint job, which has far too many dings these days.  No money to rectify that, sadly.

     

    I'd never buy a Ford, but I do really like the looks of the Mustang since it made a comeback.  I don't count the ones from the early 80s, Mustang II did they call them?  I always told friends, "That's not a Mustang!  That's my little pony!"   laugh​
