2012 VW Passat WIP

[jsquaredstudios]

hey everyone...so i am working on an online spot for VW and was wondering if i could get some feedback on my render...my biggest concern is whether or not i should go with a "glossier" paint versus a more "matte" look...

so the first image is the one i like, and the second one is with glossier paint...the HDR i chose for the second image is a bit overkill, i will tame it down, but the style of render will remain the same...

any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated...cheers

Looking really nice, but you should work on the headlight glare, looks a bit photoshopped.

hey thanks oscar...i dont think those will be used anyways, i just did them for fun...they do look pretty photoshopped lol...especially the one on the right headlight

[mynameisoscarjo]

Yep, other than that it's really great. I like both of the looks, but I think I prefer the first one.

good going and i also like both but 2nd is look good

[PBenjamim]

A mix between both would be spot on imo

[jsquaredstudios]

hey guys, thanks for all the comments...so just as i was merging the 2 some changes got called in and the whole render changed as usual...here is more along the lines of what they will want...its a rough render, and again, any feedback would be appreciated...cheers

[jsquaredstudios]

thanks dude...sadly they now went back to the first render, the matte looking one lol...i think its gonna be back and forth till this gets nailed down...ill be sure to show some updates...

so EPIC ,, but the headlights little bit dark can't see it clearly

[jsquaredstudios]

yeah i agree with the headlights, thanks for pointing that out...im definitely gonna get that nice and bright to show the sexy headlights in there...they have me working on the interior side shot for now so that will take up a couple of days...ill be sure to post the exterior render once that gets tweaked...thanks for the comments

hey guys...so here is an updated render of what the final should look like...still gotta fix the dark headlights, and also add some life to the amber turn signal...its looking very flat...also i need to make some decent headlight glow as opposed to the cheesy photochopped ones right now...anyone know a good tutorial or have some advice for that?

any feedback on the render is appreciated...thanks...

[PBenjamim]

Looking better! Apart from the headlights, the front bumper looks too flat, try adding some reflections there. Keep working

[jsquaredstudios]

thanks for feedback again guys...once again, they have now even changed the camera angle...they want it at a complete profile shot, which is not too exciting...ill throw up some images if it turns out awesome...if not, thanks again for all the feedback

hey everyone...i haven't updated this in a while but the render is finally up on the website...it ended up going a totally different route than anticipated...they love it, even though i liked the 3/4 views better :P...thanks for everyone's feedback again
