Mercedes SLS CGI

I created this scene to do some more lighting/shading experimentation and find my way around Blender 2.8. I also looked into the renderlayer system and compositing. The car model is a commercial purchase.

Custom Lighting was created using HDR Light Studio (with realtime feedback in Modo) combined with a free environment HDR (by DURON AUTOMOTIVE) and a SpotLight in the scene to light up the front of the vehicle. The final output consists of 3 render-passes: 1) the backdrop 2) the car-render 3) the shadowcatcher. Rendering was done in E-Cycles with only minor touchups in post.
