Exterior Renders
External renders using Mental Ray shaders and IBL Env Node.
Original mesh from Humster 3D
HDR generated using Spheron SpheroCam
Backplates taken with Canon 5D
Renders in Maya 2014
Mental Ray Car Paint shader failed to display reflections though, so will switch shader to MIA_Material_X_Passes in subsequent renders (not done yet)

HD1080 renders took 5 minutes in Maya 2013 (24 X 3.33Ghz Cores, 12 Gb RAM)
No post-production to these images (eg direct Maya / Mental Ray renders)
Re-worked shaders...
Following images have better tail-light and headlight shaders applied / developed and are gamma corrected (from Maya's default 1.0 to 2.2)...
Floor shader reflection toned down too, to match real reflections...
Re-worked shaders
Rear tailights (better translucency)
White Car paint - better specular control
