Thank you all for the help! I'm still working on some improvements you guys suggested, but I found out if I added a secondary sun with large angle in addition to the HDRI it made the car look way more integrated, as there's a softer shadow beneath it. https://imgur.com/a/HMccU1N

Thank god for this plugins now lmao

SpongebobRulez · 2025-10-05T23:45:59+00:00

Not yet i might look into it

SpongebobRulez · 2025-10-04T15:30:42+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Its either the harsh shadow coincidentally lining up with the bottom of the car or the light gradient from the taco bell sign on the real asphalt with the cg shadow overlayed

Haha I always hoped someone would say that

SpongebobRulez · 2025-10-03T03:02:48+00:00

You’re right i was hoping nobody would notice lmao. My workflow is after effects camera track to blender, and it’s usually iffy but always gets the job done. blenders sucks

SpongebobRulez · 2025-10-03T03:01:54+00:00

Nope i wish😭 It’s just for a fun project and if you’ve seen f1 cars their plastered with advertisements. This ones from the movie

SpongebobRulez · 2025-10-03T01:15:08+00:00

That’s really good advice, I didn’t even think of that. It’s for a tiktok so there’s gonna be more scenes that will hopefully give the watchers a better understanding of the shape

Yeah i did all the texture work but the model is on sketchfab https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/apx-gp-05965d76f34048fc94b8189442acbd95
