Your Photograph  +  Our Rendering  =  Amazing Personal Wall Art

Mercedes Roadster Renderings

Here's How to Take a Great Picture of your Roadster...

Setting...

Pick a spot that allows your car to stand out. Try to avoid unnecessary visual competition (other cars, people, ground clutter, telephone poles, etc).

 

Natural Lighting...

Don't have the Sun visible in the picture, don't shoot between 11AM and 2PM, and avoid strong reflections. Partly cloudy and overcast days are ideal.

Framing/Cropping...

Unless the background is really important, make your car dominate the shot. Get close; this is a car portrait, not a snapshot. Study the example images for ideas.

 

Angle...

Shoot at a flattering angle- avoid silhouette side shots. Elevate or lower your camera; don't restrict your shot to eye level. Three-quarter shots provide drama.

See Like a Camera...

Try to see the picture with the objectivity of your camera. Look at everything in the frame before you shoot. Make a mental list of three angles/distances and plan ahead. Look for reflections and distractions.

 

Take Your Time...

This is a picture that is going to attract a lot of attention. Don't rush through it. Think. Steady yourself and exhale before you shoot. You're gonna love the result!

THIS is the ultimate in personal graphic wall art... your own photo is custom rendered using this amazing Alius process. An Alius Custom Rendering is a truly one-of-a-kind piece of art that is guaranteed to attract attention from guests, friends and family. You simply cannot escape the ultimate sharpness of these renderings. Both distant and up-close views are equally striking. Alius Custom Renderings are unique due to the intricate detail produced as evidenced in closeup views.

 

HOW IT WORKS

 

Fill out the Order panel. Enter the information in each field and check appropriate optional services, and upload your image (minimum 3600 pixels- iPhone resolution). Once the image is uploaded to the Gallery workshop, after reviewing your choices and the total charge, click on the Total Alius Rendering Charges button.

 

This brings up the payment form (PayPal or Card). Fill in the information and submit your order. We will process your image in 3-5 days (unless RUSH processing is requested) and send it back to your email address. Rush orders go to the front of the queue and will be procesed within 24 hours.

 

 

 

All images must be at least 3600 pixels in the longest dimension and be full-range (no blown out highlights or pure black shadows). If you use Photoshop to prepare your image, keep the tones inside the "navigational beacons" of the image's Levels histogram.

 

Images that do not contain this full range of tones will not render correctly. Alius produces amazing results using all of the image's tones and colors. Do not increase the color saturation of your image, as Alius accents color intensity as part of the process. Over-saturated images will lose critical detail. Also, do not over sharpen your image as it will produce unwanted artifacts.

 

Prices for custom Alius orders start at $75 and the Base Processing checkbox must be checked. Further processing (optimization, masking etc.) will incur additional charges.

     Creative license is granted to Alius Gallery in all projects. Great care and effort and care is taken to produce the very best rendition of each image. In most cases, several different renderings are produced in-house and post production adjustments are made as needed before any file is shipped to the customer.

are ever produced with the same adjustments. Each rendering is a hand-tooled one-of-a-kind creation.
