This image was done as an entry for this months' AutomotiveCGI Facebook Render Challenge #41: OPTICS.

I knew I wanted to do a full scene instead of a studio render or a detailed close-up, but still emphasize on the lights. I'm not sure whether I succeeded or that the image is way to busy to distract too much, but judging by the few votes for my entry, I guess the latter is true hehe. Please let me know what YOU think in the comments ;)

These the star of the show; the Nissan GT-R50 By Italdesign Limited Edition.

A striking design which had to grow on me, but now that it did, I kinda love it.
As for the law enforcers; I gave them each a Dodge Demon.

The environment was super basic, just an asphalt plane with a nice asphalt texture I got from CGTrader, a concrete wall via Quixel, a highway prop from KitBash3D, a low poly helicopter from Sketchfab, some decals and finally a HDRI from Polyhaven.

This is how the render came out before post. Although it's not looking all that great as I prepped the image for further Light Mixing in Photoshop.

And finally some Light Mixing, color grading, lens effects and quick fixes.
Let's finish with the final image once more to avoid any unnecessary scrolling :P
