Final full-length test render of the glass IndyCar. The samples are a little too low at the start-up until we see the full cell, so there is a bit of jitter in the carbon textures to start. For Blender Cycles users out there, frames vary from 1 minute at 512 max samples for the engine and gearbox and then 2 minutes + at 1024 max samples for the rest, which gives a cleaner result but obviously takes longer to process.

There's also a jump on the fuel tank where I tested out using a higher light path count. I've probably gone a bit over the top with the post effects. Maybe dial them down 50%. Also, the glass is too refractive at the moment, so I need to bring that down a bit to make the inner details more visible, especially around the chassis and wheels.As always, a huge thank you to the guys at Indycar and Dallara for letting me use their CAD as a starting point to build this very intricate model of the current car.
