Photoshop Render

Vizcom Process

First

Started with a black and white Photoshop render, and prompted Vizcom to create a white volume rendering with soft lighting, and to not change the design at all.

Second

After I got the base rendering I liked, I styled the car more, focusing on color ways, lighting, and other small details. Once the styling was done, I used the region map tool, to really focus in on the small details.
