Hi guys,
I'm currently in the midst of writing a book about rendering with Mental Ray in Softimage XSI, Maya and 3ds Max which is scheduled to be published and on sale in 2013.
One of the sections of the book will provide a method along with discussions of HDRI rendering with backplates. The subject for this section will be a high detail vehicle model.
Due to time constraints of having to produce a 400 page book in a little over a year while also working full time, I've decided to forgo making the assets for the smaller chapters as making a vehicle to the level I require would take far too much time.
Instead, I turn to you. The community.
Is there anyone who would be willing to feature their high detail vehicle model in the book? This model would also need to be released as an asset along with the book once it's complete. It would be required that every portfolio render with this vehicle would have to list the book information along with the artist information(creater of the vehicle) as a disclaimer on the image.
The artist who provides the model would get recognition in the chapter as well as have a short artist bio in the rear section of the book (contributors) along with a link to his/her portfolio and the chance to also feature renders in the books gallery section(should they be of high enough quality).
If you are interested, please contact me at
Thanks for the help, guys!
Cheers,
Johal
