.:One hour VrayRT Challenge:.

I've decided to challenge myself!!!!

Everytime I have an hour waiting for a render or..well just waiting for life to go on - I'll try to do a new render of my old Chevy Nova´69 - I can only use an hour so what you'll see here is what I get done in that hour including post

1. The Motel

Final version with some small adjustments in Photoshop (sorry for the bad backdrop)

The Nitrous viewport

The VrayRT viewport 

The car itself is somthing I did a few years ago - all ajustments and render is done in VrayRT meaning I have almost realtime feedback adjusting light and shader.

.:Audi R8:.

For those of you who have been following my blog, know that eons ago started on my R8 projekt (while the car itself still was new and awesome - now its just... well pretty awesome).
Finally modelling is complete and now I can do some renders - I still need some minor adjustment to the shaders. Done in max 9-2011 rendered in vray - post in Combustion

And heres a still from an upcoming animation

.:Plane:.

I had almost 2 days without schelduled work and decided to do a little VFX scene.

I came up with a Airplane about to emergency land.

Everything is done in 3ds max, Vray, Combustion and After Effects

.:Cottage:.

A test scene from last year - I wanted to test Max' & Vray's capabilities of rendering millions of polygons with full GI, primary+secondary bounces, animated lights, SSS, Translucency, Glossy reflection...

It went without a hitch.. (there are some flickering on the ground,- my mistake not the software)

Created and rendered in 3ds max 2009 and Vray 1.5 - rendered on a Dell Poweredge with 2x quad core Nehalem Xeon Processors running 2.8 ghz - The scene consists of 19.8 million polygons.
