WIP: realism testing - PLATES -

[Citizen-Insane]

the plates look a little too shiny to me.

Is this a blinn? Based on the "glowy" whiteness and the glassy reflection on the lower plates in the stack, I'd say both eccentricity and reflectivity are up too high.

just got my hands on Maxwell for maya and i've been messin with that a bit. just tweaked the material and this is what i got -

keep bringin on the c&c! btw i think the glowiness looks kinda cool so i think i'll keep that aspect of it :P

[kogh]

*bump* seriously guys, i want some comments :bounce:

Looks real to me. You may want to tone down the depth field blurring.

[akaiwa]

Looking nice and vey realistic. I personally like how the first image has a glow to it.

[raythex]

yeah i agree... turn down the DOF

makes ur picutre look unnatural .... like the picture has too much light and somehow you still used a supper huge apature. .... im getting the feeling that the plates are the size of pennies becuase of the DOF you used....

so tone it down by a huge margin and your picture will be worth millions of dollars :thumbsup:

im loving the realism

[kogh]

thanks guys!

ok i turned down the DOF and played with the colors a bit and here's what I got -

That last render looks nice! WHERE CAN I GET MAXWELL FOR MAYA???

[bennyboy2]

Outstanding! Really, super-nice.

The only thing I would change would be to warp the plates slightly or rotate them just a couple pixels for realism.

-edit-
Naw, I wouldn't. They look great the way they are! :)

[satch919]

That last render looks fantastic. Much better. :thumbsup:

[HausThePaus]

i also modeled a plate but how can i make such a nice material im a noob :) :O

[kogh]

vegass - www.maxwellrender.com (http://www.maxwellrender.com/) <-- you can preorder maxwell here, im lovin it so far

and THANKs for your comments guys. much appreciated :)



btw haus, i just used a normal "plastic" material from maxwell and tweaked it a bit :P

[ffourier]

the last render is better and looks very realistic there is nore more aliasing like one the first.
great job !

[JamesPetiteAnge]

I agree with everyone. you did an AWESOME job. it's hard to imagine how long it must have taken you. how long DID it take you? lmfao, anyways. I love it. keep up the good work! :)

[kogh]

thanks again guys -

since im using maxwell render, it takes a WHILE to get a good clean result from it. so I just set the time to 6 hours and let it go overnight haha.
