that is a seriously sweet looking usb pen ^^ I wouldn't mind one of those myself :D

I think my only crit is that looking at the reflection on the tin lid you need more samples for the blurred reflections to smooth them out. Other than that v v nice :)

So you modeled this pen for your friend's reel? Why didn't he model it himself? Just curious...sounds like false advertising. :)

I'm fairly sure he means his friend has it in real life, not in his reel. ;)

The modeling is great. In my opinion the lighting and materials could use some more tweaking. Specifically the foam packaging material looks good from a distance but doesn't hold up when viewed closely. The shadows seem too dark and distracting for a product shot.

Good work. Thanks for sharing.

True say. (above posts)

Nice work on the detail. All of it looks real except for the lid. The writing and overall appearance looks abit off.

thanks so much for the comments and feedback guys . really appriciate this

Hawke: thanks for the kind words :D

Ryan_K: my friend has that pen box with the pen-usb in real life so i took it and modelled it .

emptyvoxel: thanks for the comments, i see what u mean about the foam packaging needs more noice factor of it up as get closer to camera and a displacement would definatelly brind the texture up better than just the bump map . well next time .:D

TheSoracle: thanks for the comments. the lid as i looked at it in real life had minute bumps and i could see the blurry reflections on it but u learn everyday . the next one is going to be better :D
