Heya,

This is my latest project. It’s the BMW 3 series coupe 330ci from 2004 (the facelift model).

The model is created in 3dsmax9 and rendered with Mental Ray. I used edit poly to create this model. I wanted to train my modelling skills and I thought this was a good object. Because I think it has some pretty ‘hard to create’ curves.

I had some real trouble with rendering this scene. I never really worked with Mental Ray and I don’t have that much experience with creating materials and setup lightning. But thanks to some great preset materials that comes with the new Mental Ray, I was able to create a pretty good render I think.

Let me know what you think about this scene!

Thanks,

Elmar Nieser
