Hot to get this effect ?

[michael557]

Hey I been searching the wen for some render and I found this scrorpion (watch attachment) I love the red armour with this cool reflection. Could anyone guide me how to get this effect or is there any tutorial ?

looks like a car paint shader. not sure if cinema has one, but Vray as well as several other render engines have one.

 

the reason i am saying it is a car paint shader is because of the dual reflections. there is the crisp white reflection, and there is a subtle specular reflection that defines the curves. if you look at the orange on the body,it is lighter on the left than it is on the right. this is a second reflection that is subtle and extremely blurred. just do some research on these shaders, and they can explain it better.

 

...but, remember, they used a 'studio' lighting setup to get the reflection. i am guessing that there is a large flat white light above the object that is illuminating the scene.

C4D has a built-in car shader called Danel

 

just change the default colors and your on your way there

you might be able to get that effect with a white plane over the object the fake it.

It does need a bright white glowy thing to reflect, to get the effect. The bright white glowy thing should be off camera and have dak stuff next to it for contrast.

You can also do a specular channel with a narrow width, super-high height and sharp falloff, but the old studio background is the usual way to go.

prolly, the scene is inside a large cube with a 100% luminance mat applied on the top plane. see attachment
