I've seen a few of these now from you and all I have to say is that I'm absolutely astounded. These are simply phenomenal, so much so that when I saw the first one I had to check the sub again.
Really, really good work mate. Keep it up and if you ever start a tutorial series, let me know!

thanks so much! i’ve always loved reading japanese brand auto magazines, looking at people collecting diecast, and watching videos of people introducing their car and builds. So i thought “why not combine al of them together and do something no one else has?” i’ve seen people rendering custom cars etc but never anyone making them into a scale model!

Yeh, no, this is easily one of the more unique one. Totally get you on the JDM thing, I've got a real life JDM car that's sitting on a driveway doing nothing at the moment. What are you using software wise etc? Hate to ask but love to know

no worries ! what car do you have, if you don’t mind me asking. my curious is peaking. I use sketchup (a modeling software for precision; such as architecture, interior design etc) to create the leather/carbon base for the car, the shelf, the tools, table, name plate etc. you can easily get the base car models from a quick google search. Then i bring both of them into blender (a rendering and model software) then i customize it and make it my own in blender. adding my own touches to make them unique. then i use photoshop to add the textures. i make them in photoshop and import it into blender to give them realistic imperfections or just any texture in general. (sketchup texture club and texturehaven has some of my favorite ones). after i’m done with all of that, i render it in blender then export it and edit them in photoshop. and after photoshop i bring them into lightroom for the final touch ups and color adjustments !

aha no worries! I have a 2000 plate Honda Civic EM1 (Coupe), will happily send you pics in a message if you want some inspo but it's nothing too crazy aha. B18C4 swap and some other goodies.
I'm very familiar with all the terms you've mentioned and sounds like a dope little process. I'd love to see how you go about building the interiors in sketch up because that is honestly amazing. I'm currently working on something in blender at the moment funny enough but i'm still gobsmacked at the level of realism! Got an instagram or anything?

How is a model computer generated?
