Nice detailing. Very nice final look.
Did you work with CAD files as references.

[digitaldamage]

Thanks for your comment. No, there were no CAD files in use at all. All done by hand, i guess :)
I have forgot to add that this is actually a realtime model. It has 28.000 faces.

Here is another image. All in all a more neutral light:

wow the attention to details is spectacular ,really nice :)

[ianloarndo]

very good indeed mate .

ps : but where is the ART from all of that mate ?

4 stars

[fluvirus]

amazing modeling and rendering mate. congrats!!..

[visciom]

Looks amazingly realistic. Good Job!

[ZeBoxx2]

very nice, bentarr :) Good to see the end-results. I rather like the first image with the 'unusual' lighting

[Gal]

i really like the render, shaders and overall quality to it. even though it may seem simple(it isnt) would you mind talking/showing your lighting/reflection setup? and post work?..i noticed you shifted the red/green channel there to fake C/A..

[Creature]

Do you have a wireframe for that? It looks amazing for 28.000 faces! I'd like to learn from your wire :)

[Renzsu]

Wow, realtime? No way! That's really cool man and those renders you made are really great product visualisation work! Congrats, I assume the client really liked it? :)

[Creature]

As clients not always go WOW that's so cool for 28.000 faces the client might have been a real pain endlessly nitpicking that that screw is placed an inch higher on the real modell and this tiny detail looks different too. Clients don't judge renders for the same things 3d artists do ;)

[DrZenith]

Clients don't judge renders for the same things 3d artists do ;)

-Fact :)

Great work...The model is floorless and I'm sure it looks exactly like what it's meant to be.

I think you countered the lack of coolness quite well with the lighting. Should have stuck a big breasted woman hanging over it lol.

Oh, yes I do realise that.. It's especially fun when they go back to the first image after so many changes.. But in the end it's all about the result and I'm sure they must've been pleased with it :)

[Milivoj-Lemonade3D]

great stuff! I love the lighting in the first image! Top noch modeling and surface definition also!

Thanks to all of you for your replies and a big soory for this late response, but I had a good deal of trouble with my internet connection.

ianloarndo: Yeah, you're somewhat right. As it is with nearly all product vizualisations, you are very limited in terms of designing the object in question itself. It's just not possible. All your creative input is limited to the environment. Unfortunately.

ZeBoxx: Hello Richard. It's always very nice to hear from you. :) (and the people behind the magic. I hope your standalone version of Brazil is going well. :)) I'm glad you liked the colour-lighted version more than the other one. It is also my favourite.

Gal: Very good eye. The postwork wasn't that much. I rendered the whole image in a higher resolution and saved it as a 32Bit/ChannelEXR. The greater range allowed for better contrast and gamma correction without getting banding. Up to this moment, all was done in PS. Just pretty basic color correction was made in AE. The main focus was on enhancing the already present color in the lighting. Back in PS, I added the CA and a tiny bit of lens distortion. That's all.
Below you can find a top view of the lightsetup. Those two geometry planes on the right side were placed between the copier and the main light to get that, uh, lightbeam. What you cannot see on the image is the box I put the whole setup in. All in all there were only six lights. 5 Arealights and one directional just for the control console. http://www.digitaldamage.com/images/still/3d/C550_lightsetup.jpg


Creature: Of course. Here is the wire. It's all polymodelling. There is no meshsmooth involved. All in the edges, I would say.
So true what you're saying. I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes, it's really amazing. And not in a good way. http://www.digitaldamage.com/images/still/3d/C550_wire.jpg


Renzsu: Thank you! But where did that Déjà-vu came from? Oh, I see. That must have something to to with your second post :D
