About Me:
My name is Shane Keppel and I live in country Victoria, Australia. I'm probably what you would call a serious hobbiest. I started using Blender when it was at the 2.49a version and have been hooked ever since.
About "Strato Cruiser"
I liked the film, Christine, based on Stephen King's book and felt modelling the car would be a different challenge to newer models; I found it to be so with more ambiguity arrising from many customised cars out there and far fewer technical photos and drawings. This resulted in decissions having to be made about what to include when it came to modelling details. Basically I found an image I liked that offered the look of the car from the film and used it as my basic reference, with many other images to flesh out the details.

About "White Studio Camaro:"
Hi guys! Here I am back with a job not so much recent . Given that I've recently used only as Vray render, I wanted to try recreate the car with it. Part modeling, was a real commitment to the materials, textures and the environment. Regarding fittings and colors of the car, I realized. Post Production in PS, the time of render around 90 minutes, with average values.
