Automotive Art

As some of you may know, I am a full time photographer and videographer. So lighting is my life. Lately I’ve been creating renders of some of my favorite cars in the racing sim Assetto Corsa using Content Manager‘s Custom Showroom. If you haven’t used it, it’s a very cool mini-program for looking at cars. You can set up four different kinds of lights including point, spot, directional and plane lights. These are equivalent to a china lantern, a fresnel, sunlight and a panel light or soft box. There are also scenery lights that come with various “showrooms” that you can download which light up or remove the brightness of the background. You can also play around with reflections and shadows and all sorts of other characteristics of the final image.

If you are a fan of photography, especially studio photography, I highly recommend you try out this awesome program.

I’ve created a gallery of images on Flickr here:

Here’s a preview of some of my favorites (including some images I haven’t posed yet):

Let me know what you think. Are you a fan of photography? What do you like to take photos of? What about sim racing? Any sim racers out there?
