Holy crap. Im sure this is one of the best car presentations created by a single person. Grats man, you should get choice award for this. That HDR shot rocks as well.
Thank you very much for your support Ralph

I have to ask you if there is any chance to upload your render 1920 px wide. I would love to put it on my desktop background
Thank you very much for the comments man, I agree on the light defect, is one of those things impossible to notice in queue render. At the end the shot render time was too long to make it again. Count on the HiRes for your desktop for sure.

Thank you very much Duron, I actually had the chance to take a cloooose peak to the real deal, I'm aware of the proportions, I'm posting an Image of the driver I'm modeling these days, it would help to clarify that. Le't's talk about the size of the car: In this particular shot its about distance from camera more than wrong size, I add some other images to make that point.

No low quality on the HDRi pano, I shooted my self, is about 9000 pixels wide. I blured the shader on the spoiler though, is looking better
2- the road is reflecting light area from backgruond like sky scrapers, but now there is a car, so it need to reflect part of car, or make some niece something there like i did
checked
3- same, reflection of lights is needed
and checked
4- car is too big
The size issue is clear now, your feedback was really helpful Dominic, Thank you veeery much. Congratulations on your wacom tablet seem to be a lot of fun!

The hdri is very nicely done - arty, but interesting. Good location too...

PS. That video is super hot! Great work on that!
Thank you very much for the kind comments Dude, not sure about what "arty" means though, it was done with fish eye lens right in the spot.

in all seriousness man you really inspire me to learn more about maya, I am ok with modeling but render is something i struggle with especially hdri rendering, if you can post a making of as the others have said or some pointers on how you achieve such high quality renders and texturing it will really help me and other out a lot. Just wanted you to know that peace.
One thing i really would like to now.. I also do some panorama's after taking some pics with simple cam. but i never tryed it 180° or 360° .. i often get problems with PS if i want to compose some scenes. I'm also looking for some scenes here where i live but i do not know how i can do my own HDRI-Pano's with simple cam. Can anybody give me some tipps how you do your own? As a student i dont have the money for a real HDRI cam

Yes man, try to look for tutorials on: making an HDRi using a chrome ball, or making light probes using chrome balls. Cheers

you could try some other hdri too
Thanks for the kind comment man; I'm following you on that one, so here is a new shot with a new HDRi set.

My pleasure man, I'm glad you like it
Here is a new shot, thanks before hand for the feedback.
It's nice to see some updates on this
master piece of yours, Luis...great work
Some elements to consider tweaking:
-Some areas with the depth of field focusing are not necessarily in
continuity, meaning that, for instance, the pillar on the right is almost in the same
vicinity of the rear end of the Ford. But yet the top portion of the
pillar is blurred, when the bottom of the pillar is not (mostly) and
no d.o.f is on the vehicle.
But as for the very far background, the trees in the left corner and building
in the back, d.o.f. would probably be more suitable.
-As for lighting, you can see that the sun is positioned
heavily on the building and courtyard. However, as the vehicle
is lit, it appears as if the hue of the light does not match that on
the building (yellow/orange tone of light) The light hue on the
vehicle is a standard white, as if it's in a studio, which it isn't.
And the shadowing underneath looks too dark, but that could be
due to the monitor.
Other than that, this is brilliant!
Try some other views as well
Wow... this one is nice... Night shot would made it nicer. Isn't that Background based only or isn't HDRI and Background included? because I don't see enough reflection bouncing on car especially with sunlight bouncing from white wall of hotel.
