Object: Watch

[digtlpete]

Hey man, looks great, but whats up with the 3 spheres. How are you doing the reflections? HDRI?

[Bungles]

Yes... HDRI for reflections... oh how i love HDRI

The spheres were there for testing but i (for some reason) left them there. Im rendering a hi-rez version without them.

[digtlpete]

the only thing that bothers me about the render is that it looks like there is no glass over the watch face. If you could get a reflection on the face I think it would look perfect.

[Bungles]

Yeah i know what you mean... that was my main issue too. For the life of me i cant figure out why the glass isnt reflecting the HDRI. Not even a little. ?

thanks for your replies digtlpete

Heya,

The environment (which the glass material would reflect) doesn't appear to be all that bright - the reflection is probably there, but very weak.

Best regards,
Richard Annema

the glass, is it a plane or curved ? if it is a plane, maybe it is too small in relation to the HDRI, it might just be reflecting a black spot....or ain't that possible?
just thinking loud...

sirius:rolleyes:

[lebada]

why is it purple near the bottom?

[morin]

good!~

[Randuin]

reflections are very realistic :)

My project right now is creating a watch in Maya. thats really nice, thats good. i thought mine was ok..damn.....got any tips on creating some good reflections :bowdown:

[Bungles]

OK ... Ive got a new render without the spheres but im having difficulty getting it online (bigger too). Will have it up soon.
(should i just replace the first one or post another?)

DeCarlo: HDRI!! wonderfull stuff. Tho, im not sure how/where HDRI works in maya.

Buggy166: Im assuming its a reflection ey.

ZeBoxx: Hiya.. im gonna try a dif. HDRI map, maybe that will work.

[wayfaerer]

Looks really real! Very nice model with lots of detail. I like the wristband very much.

[Bungles]

OK... I updated the first pic. still no reflection in the glass but hey... i dont have another 13hrs to render. Here is one more with a little different setup

give me some feedback ey.

[lebada]

yeah..its a reflection..and now it looks like its burnt...can u change its color to a grey or white? in the HDRI map i mean...but i like it...its just that thing pops in my eyes the minute i lay eyes on the watch..lol:shrug:

[Bungles]

i know what your saying ... it went away in the last render, but it made the image to bright overall.

[Ancient-Pig]

Nice colors on that watch

I'd like to see how it looks with a different colored background

[mixed]

first render was better. and agreed about the no glass on the main part. other than that, looks good. nothing a bit of tweaking couldnt handle. :)
