Question

Something for the weekend - Part 54 - Lifestyle

Hi

Looking at images in car brochures, they commonly sell a lifestyle rather than just a car. So I set myself a challenge to model such a scene in 3D and the result is below.*    I wonder though where our Photoshop users will now take this.

So for this weekend, take the image below and develop your own take around the car or lifestyle.

Anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to have a go - whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.

There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side.

To download the image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artefacts , right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).

* Everything in the scene I modelled and rendered in Blender, apart from the sky and distant trees which are in an HDR spherical panorama, used both for lighting the scene and for the background. I downloaded that panorama from https://hdrihaven.com/hdris/  which offers free HDRIs under the creative commons license, so is a good source for those creating 3D scenes.
Enjoy your weekend.
Dave

    Funny! That's it? She's got long legs. What about the tree - it's a Bottle Brush. What car is in the picture? All of the art is mine, some old stuff but its supposed to be fun and funny so you have my permission to mess with it if it gives you joy.  Best fun JH

    Very cute Dean. Simple, but funny and effective.  It's the ideas that count with SFTW threads.

    My OCD stepped in, and I had to try making a heart button.

    Hi

    Graham have you been playing with the action from Adobe Create Magazine? It was the scribbled look that gave it away
    Trevor - a clever idea and well put together. When they announced that the Chinese had landed a craft on the far side of the moon the BBC played a simulation. I think someone should have told the person creating it that the earth would not be in the "sky" from that side of the moon.
    Dean - excellent idea and it works well.

    Dave, you understand how we live in SoCal.

    Background Santa Monica Bay.  It and the cactus are my own photos.

    That's nice Rista.  Nancy would like the cactus methinks.

    I'm looking at its placement near the door, and remembering a couple of large spiny flax plants we had either side of our front door.  Stuff really grows here, and before we knew it, the spines were at eye level and likely to cause a nasty accident.   I used to cut the spines off now and again, but we have got rid altogether now.

    Some nice entries already, although I was not able to make Jacob's Abobe motif without making it a lot brighter.   I still wonder what goes on in Ged's mind.   Is that rust, or a texture taken from a Van Gogh painting, and will Ged be cutting off one of his ears soon?

    Jane's luggage is obviously ultra-modern with a retro look.  There will be carbon fibre and titanium under that old leather appearance.

    I'd like to run this thought past the forum 'Blokes'...   With sporty cars having lower and lower aspect ratio tires nowadays, why don't Formula 1 tires follow the same trend?

    Good eyes, Dave.............

    I've spent so long on that image in the last couple of days, I know every pixel !

    Nice idea on the road trip Jane and perfect perspective. Do you think it needs a subtle shadow just to get the cases to sit in the scene?

    Looks like the cars been sitting around for a while
