    Nice job

    From what I recall of the Chevy Luv that's some real wishful thinking

    Indeed.. never let it be said that the Hot Wheels folks lack a certain spark of creativity!

    Lucky you!  In '66 I had a bicycle!  But my upstairs neighbor's son had a brand new, metallic Army Green Mustang!    I was 12.

    Now that's funny because I had just gotten married two months before I got the car.

    Had a Coupe De' Ville with tranny problems when  I got married and we traded it for the GTO

    I had the '66 Chrysler Newport when we got married.  On the way to the honeymoon, during a dark, stormy, thunderstorm night...the power steering unit popped!  surprise  We stayed in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, so parking wasn't a problem...but when we got back home, parking was murder.  I traded it in for the '69.

    Rememberig the "Road Toad" - back in the late 70's/early 80's had one of these in a greenish color.. It was immediately christened "The Road Toad" - 401 AMC v8, 3 speed auto.. loved it, but sadly it ddn't last - (moral- don't buy used in Quebec). Now this model is of a '91 Wagoneer, so the interior is wrong, but the basic body shape is pretty much a dead ringer... was quite pleased to be ablt to map an image of the Warn automatic locking hubs on the front wheels.

     Thanks.  Yes, it's an HDRI.  I just did a photo search with the key words "boat ramp" using Bing where it lets you specify the min resolution.  I usually use 4000 x 2000 px and the results usually contain a lot of HDRI's.  The search settings lets you search places where you'd never expect to find HDRI's.

    Here's a link to the image https://gograpevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/20200925-DSCF4414-HDR-AdobeRGB-Perceptual-scaled.jpg

    It's from a parks and recreation website.

    Wow - thats really nice ! I'm assuming that;'s an HDRI? (if so, where did you get it?)

    Just some props I got my hands on for my next project at work.  Same thing again with using an HDRI for the background.  Just did a Bing image search for "military base" with 4000x2000 px as the min resolution.  Original image is below.  Tried rendering video with all those vehicles and my two 2080 Ti's kept crashing.  Ended up rendering a still image and used it to mask everything but the helicopter.
