An exploration into a rocket engine thrust effect simulation in 3Ds Max and Phoenix rendered in V-Ray.

Some history tests from the RnD stage are added in the end to visualize the project progression.
Tutorial is comming soon! π
Through last two weekends project has passed two working sessions.
First - the reference gathering with basic volumes, camera and some written idea notes. Moodboard items.
Second - light adjustments, car paint selection, materials review and couple more main environment shaders.
*** So disappointed with Pinterest, it was so good for a ref hunting a years ago, and now right after the first search type, turns into a sloppy gallery of poor quality Ai images that ruins the inspiration within a minutes.
As a Participant of the 3DModels.org One Car Challenge following the rules step 1, publishing here the opening post that will lead the whole work progress.
... and yeah, this is a blog revive!
