CGI Renders of AMG GT 2024

This personal project was done on the occasion to practise of finding a proper way to compose 3D models of cars in a real-world image environments with Unreal Engine 5.
This technique was too complicated to achieve the result that I was looking for, and turned out to made this with Cinema4D and Octane.
This is my first try doing this and the heart of the visual realism lies in the use of 1 HDRI with a backplate sourced from CGIBackgrounds, which provided a perfect balance of light and shadow, accentuating the sleek contours of the car. Overcoming challenges, especially in achieving realistic reflections and intricate material textures, was a journey of exploration.
My approach involved iterative tweaking of lighting settings and material properties, ensuring that each element authentically represented the AMG GT 2024's unique character. This project was not just about creating photorealistic renders; it was a deep dive into understanding and portraying automotive elegance. The experience has significantly honed my skills in 3D visualization and has sparked even more enthusiasm for future automotive projects.
All renders done at 4K.
