I took your comments to heart, I'm still a noob when it comes to lighting.
My final setup is going to be something like this. Still needs a little work texturing, and I'm not sure what to do for the background yet.

Got the track. And a bit better on the textures. I haven't used the DOF successfully yet so that might take a little bit of time.

Looking good. I'd crank down the reflection on the car paint and wheels/tyres a little though ... the reflection of the tiles looks more like rendering artifacts and detracts from the image a little...

Nice job, so far. Good luck on the DOF, i'm finding that most painstaking for my project.

I agree with Mark, you reflections are a bit strong. You might be able to keep the values you have now, if you add a micro bump to the material, that will blur/diffuse the reflection and give a more realistic look [without paying as high a price in render time as turning on reflection blurring would]. Double check the bump on your tiles, it looks like they might be inverted [could just be my eyes playing tricks]? Last crit, your black is very very black. I don't know what value you have it set at, but you might be better off if you raise it a little. For black I generally use something around R|G|B = 25|25|25.
Overall this is really coming along really well. You've improved the lighting a lot, it looks much better compared to your earlier renders. Keep it up, and this'll turn out excellent. |

The lighting, I changed over to using HDRI, which I've never done before.
It seems to bring it's own set of difficulties. BTW when I use the DOF, test rendering at 50% resolution everything looks great, but changing the res to 100 makes the image darker. So I doubled the numbers and set it back to 50% so the numbers come back to what 100% should be - and that works - but the render time goes up to like 5 hours. Still I'm continuing to work at it.

I reworked all the textures, and decided to render out the foreground elements separately from the background. The DOF just wasn't fast enough for me. Then I used the DOF blur in Photo Plus. Thoughts?

Hi Sandman, Your Renders are getting better and better. Im just not overly keen on the black and white checkered floor. Maybe its just me, but a light grey instead of the Heavy black would help. The car is looking nice though.

It just so happens the black and white tile is what I have in my kitchen. LOL Sad but true. I'll think about changing it.

I think you've nailed the car in the latest render. The tiles are okay, but the blurred look helps a ton keeping the viewers' attention on the car. Great work.

No, really, My wife picked it out, I just installed it.
Anyway, I re-rendered the image to fix a few things. http://www.newtek.com/forums/attachm...7&d=1309306829 I think it might be done but I'm not sure. Edit: I tried it with the lighter tiles but it ended up gust looking washed out.
