Their work is definitely stunning. Lots of time and effort in those models and the renderings are top of the line. I've heard of VizTech before and really dig their stuff. I'd be curious to see what they charge for something like that Corvette. I know some CAD-level renderings/models go for the $5,000-$10,000 here in the states. I've done some contract work to a firm that sells models to advertising companies for use in commercials and I know those models sell for top dollar.
My only gripes about their work are about some inconsistencies. I notice their GTO and Challenger models are pretty much flawless, but their Camaro model is lacking, big time. I wonder if some of the models were purchased and he just rendered them or what. I know that there are plenty of folks out there strictly in the rendering business that contract out to modelers such as myself, Tom S. and others.
Very cool stuff. Definitely a goal to reach for with my own skills, as I'm still learning new things every day.
That's kinda the feeling I get about their stuff too Kris. I know from 3D modeling even simple shapes like phones, media players and office equipment that it takes quite a bit of time to get the surfaces right. It takes a ton of time just to figure out the lighting and environment too. It looks like they have a couple architectural environments modeled and a bunch of wheels. All they have to do is add them to the database of the car. They've gotta be charging at least $3K-5K per model easy. It's not exactly the most efficient way to render a car but it sure does look cool!
