Hi! First post & shop in intermediate, thanks!

This time I've shopped a mk4 VW Golf, R36 engine, full brush paint and car (except wheels and headlights), background composed out of 3 different ones.

I like the result tho I feel like something isn't right but I can't place my finger on it.. Maybe you can?

big like, i love those wheels (can you send them to me? ) shadow is bad and maybe is a BG off

How can I improve the shadow please?

Here's the picture I've used for the rims:

just follow the shape of the car, from wheel to wheel with hard brush and in the end blur the edges of the shadow, maybe lower a opacity a little bit..or follow original shadow of the car

try to find somewhere tutorial about that to see with pictures

Thanks, found a great tutorial here on autemo site

Awesome looking image, I love what you decided to do with it. The color, my god- it's to die for, I love it! Alot like my Avensis really, almost identical color. But everything seems to fit the car so well, for me, the mistake has been noted- the shadow so you know what's to be done. Amazing work .

Thank you! I can't find the Avensis shop you've made, or was it a real car? Can I see?

Kevin

Those rims are beautiful!

It's plans for a real car, and it's in the WIP section somewhere - http://www.autemo.com/forums/?t=13382.

I see indeed color looks a like, very nice color he
Beautiful car btw, what engine does it run?
