Jet Engine in progress.

Here are some quick work in progress renders  out of VrayForC4D 1.2.6. I’m always impressed with how quickly it can produce realistic metals. I still have a ton of work on the shaders, but it was a pretty good start converting them from Cinema 4d materials using the Vray Material Converter....

Audi R8 in Vray

These renders came out in about under a min and half. I’m pretty impressed with what Vray can do. I’m looking forward to rigging this model and start driving it onto some sweet motion graphics. Car paint shaders and metals is something Vray has no problem with recreating.
