Quote from HourencesThanks for the comments
I did junk renders worth 100 hours I think, test ones and several full weekend "should-be-final-render-but-ended-up-as-crap" renders
It took me 3 months or so, also because I could only render in the weekends I always had to wait a week before I could do the next camera angle
never heard of lowquality test renderings? horror!

NICE!
But 64Hours for each Picture is to much. 
Quote from ZackerThe car looks very much pasted onto the background. Try with some HDR to make it fit better.
HDR sucks! Costs to much render time. And i think the car fits good, if i finished the car modeling/shading.
dont forget its a WIP, not a final image. Stuff can changed so often during production.
But I hope to remind some of the critics to do it better.

RIGHT my boy! 
jep, a little blur is not bad i think. coz the image gets more realistic, if its to sharpen its look to much CG. But a depth of field blur like this one is normal, coz of the camera focus.
which works well in motion (nfs, burnout) but on a still it's a bit dull.
it looks like a unsharp photo! that was the plan for this wip shot.

This kind of shadow below the wood arches makes me unhappy! What it is, diffuse shadows or smut?

such a small update, added some details at the garage ceiling and rendered a depth of field pass.

p.s. WTF is a MOFO?
whats wrong with it? i think its okay, in the moment. u can tweak the colors of the textures later if u setup the staff in your level and get the final look.
dont break your head!

thats for sure. a little more becoz to lowpoly look like HL1 not like HL2. HL2 can render many polygons. polygons doesnt matters!
u can give the trashcan a little more shape or do an another type of trashcan.
Nice but not Awesome. The Flames look on this kind of car a little bit displaced. the photo frontback lights are a bit blurry.
And i think the texture resolution is to high for something, that is mostly black.

why is the bag so dark and rotten inside? and garbage so lighten?
if its like a diffuse shadow, its to big and the garbage must have this shadows to.
scratch it and make a new one. :wink:
Question, why the models so lowpoly and really small textures? HL1?
cheers,
mdS
I will done it!
What it is? A wallpaper or Carpet with Wooddeko?
U need some diffuse shadows here and there, brokeup the highlight and make it thiner. The Deco on the Wall looking to much 3D, if its deco on a wallpaper u dont see a dark outline (diffuse shadow) or highlights on the deko.
Hope its okay. Have done a quick overpaint.

For inspiration!

I like all James Bonds with Connery (the best Bond ever), Roger Moore was nice. The rest of the Bonds are not so cool..
And the new ones i dont like, Pierce is a good Bond, but the movies are to much hightech.. I dont know, but the old movies has something u cant really explain.

hmm.. no. Coz u have know some really damn highlow contrast Spots on the texture. This is not good for Texturetiling and looks not good in a Scene with many Tiling.
What i mean are this areas..

not fine.. the old one had better contrast and better tiling.
but this is just my opinion.

Congrats, the second video. AWESOME! so young and headbanging like a rockstar!
a merry x-mas from me too. I know its a bit late. :wink:
i think, let the groundplates like they are. do nothing on it, its good enough! u can add extra details with decals or specmap!
I think this texture will look in the engine, with spec and envmap really nice.
What u can do is, to make some variations of this texture, with some nice gravings at the border of each single plate.
