Transport
Now we need a
04 standard Omni light
placed between the card and
the car. On this one you need to
make sure that the shadows are
turned off. The most important
thing to set here is the Include
options. You need to include
only the reflection card to this
light. This way the light will only
cast its rays onto the card,
which will then reflect back to
the car, giving us independent
control over this reflection.

As a son of a photographer, I became involved in visual
arts from an early age. I’m currently working as a
freelance 3D artist specialising in hard surface and
environment modelling, texturing and lighting.
Custom Humvee 3ds Max, V-Ray, Photoshop (2010)
I always had a fascination with old, rusty mechanical stuff, like
construction or military machines and vehicles, so wanted to create
something on the subject. This customised Humvee was made to
satisfy that desire and learn new techniques along the way.
Modelled from scratch in 3ds Max and rendered with V-Ray.
Next we need to add two more reflection cards, using the same process as Step 3.
05 These two planes should also be placed above the car and rotated slightly downwards.
However, these planes should be placed more towards the rear of the car. The camera is set to use a
wide-angle lens which produces distortion; by moving the planes closer to the back of the car, we are
able to minimise these effects and ensure reflections are almost flush to the car’s body.

Hudson 3ds Max, Maya, mental ray, Photoshop,
BodyPaint 3D (2010)
My desire for creating old mechanical stuff wasn’t quite satisfied
with Custom Humvee so I decided to make some more. This time I
had a great time modelling the old Hudson steam locomotive in 3ds
Max, rendering it with mental ray inside Maya and painting textures
in BodyPaint 3D and Photoshop.
For the final step of this lighting stage, we need to create two more Omni lights. Place
06 them just above the car in the middle of the scene. Set them up as per Step 4, but include the
left card to one light and the right card to the other. This way you will have separate intensity controls
for each card. By this point, you’ll be able to see the effect of the gradient in the Opacity slot; it creates
a nice fading-out reflection instead of a solid white line.
Hiroshi Sambuichi 3ds Max, V-Ray, Photoshop (2009)
While browsing through a local bookstore, an image of a Japanese
interior stuck in my mind. I noted the name of the architect and, a
few months later, when I finally found some free time, I created this
image. It’s an interior of a rural Japanese house designed by Hiroshi
Sambuichi. I created all the geometry from scratch in 3ds Max and
rendered using V-Ray.
