V-Ray | Simple CAR STUDIO LIGHTING Setup

In this tutorial you will learn how to tackle a realistic studio lighting setup for automotive or car related projects. We will walk through the entire setup from scratch such as placing several softbox lights, using HDRI textures and setting up a realistic stage with a reflective floor. This setup can be used for both bright and dark studio setups and you will be able to keep full control over the lighting. Additionally we will discover several issues and find solutions for various problems that you might encounter during along the way.

You can use the shown techniques for many different situations and not only car related content but also product rendering, such as cellphones, furniture and much more.

I am using 3ds Max and V-Ray 5 in this demo but you can also use the same techniques for older versions such as V-Ray NEXT and V-Ray 3.
A similar workflow can also be used in other software such as Cinema4d, Maya, Blender and different kind of render engine such as Corona, Octane, Redshift, Arnold, Cycles, CyclesX, Eevee and countless others.
