Hi Guys,

I was bored one night and I decided to start playing with some acid washes on my mini exterior. It took me a while (about 15 min.) but I achieved a unique look. I drove my MCS to my dealer and they liked it so much, that they asked me to display it in their showroom. I am in talks with the Mini design dept. to license my finishing process as part of their standard line.

What do you guys think?

Nice patina!

That's what I say when I see a rusty car

Doesn't really look like photoshop as it does Maya or 3DSM

Nice either way... looks like you built the entire piece... showroom and all!
All Rendered.

Who do you work for?

Indeed, this is obviously a render. I would love to know what renderer and if the virtual model of the MCS is available.

Anybody?

Oookay,

I guess my story didn't hold water. About a year ago I was hired by an architectural firm to do a Mini showroom. A year later, I have my WP MCS on order. The rendering was done in 3D Studio Max.

Maybe a good business idea here, if anyone is interested in seeing what their exterior mod could look like, they could edit a simple jpg image. I could then generate a rendered view of their mod... I could charge, say $10 for the rendering. It may help pay for the Bluetooth Kit that I am drooling over.

Thanks,
Nando
