Urban Environment for Final Render

This week we imported our finished model into Unreal and created a background environment that fits the theme of the vehicle. I chose to create a scene in which a police officer has discovered a vehicle that was reported stolen.

Shaders and Decals

This week we used Mental Ray to add shaders to our car. We also added decals and then lit the scene.

First I used the preset car paint material in mental ray for the vehicle body, then I used my photoshopped UV image as the primary color for the material.

Next I created a dark, slightly transparent material for the tinted windows. I made additional materials for the headlights, rear lights, emergency lights, and tires.

Finally I added three separate decals and lit the scene.
