There is a texture on the paper boxes… This resolution just doesn’t show it.
Secret weapon behind black glass…? I which… No secret weapon, just bad glass test…

You are right, it looks strange even though it is made to scale! I will make them smaller. I believe the look is more important than the real measurements.

I would have loved to have the time to model another 20 accessories but deadline prevails… I spent 3 hours last night making glass and texture tests with no satisfying results… long weekend comming. :argh:

Richard… you still have another week as of today. You’ve qualified for Stage 3 by providing your layout and render tests. You can continue modeling all throughout Stage 4 if you need it. Just manage your time and be able to get a final render out by the 22nd. (Midnight)

Oh,of course I know texture is on.I just wanted to say that your modeling is so good. I`m sorry if you felt bad for my bad English :sad:

#31

Odwalla, english is not my native language either and your english is certainly better than my japanese…
Thanks for the nice comments.

Your project is looking awesome. Very nice modeling on the various items. I know what you mean about wanting to add another 20 stuff on the table. If only cloning technology was more advanced… :smiley:

I was also wondering about the wood textures missing. Completely understand temporarily turning it off to work on other items, positioning, etc. Don’t discount the complements to your saw. Good 3D approaches are to limit the amount of modeling if you can texture it instead. Infinitely faster. Good luck with the glass materials. Intensive render hits and time keeps slipping away…I love the glass shader from Konkeptoine if you have that.

Well this was lots of fun…
I will consider this my final image; sometimes you just have to let go…
I was still modeling a vise, playing with textures and testing GI. Time to stop and go to bed!
I want to mention the great support and suggestions I received from my extremely patient wife MariaJoão.

Fantastic job! Beautiful glass render. Nice attention to detail, very impressive. Makes me want to tinker with my workshop…

Kudos!

Great detail in your image Richard and very nice glass.
Bonne chance

#39

You sure you have enough detail in there!?! :wink:

Very nice Richard, very atmospheric!

The glass came out fantastic Rich! I like it a lot.

#41

It is made carefully one by one .It is so fun for me to watch this picture in my spare time:scream:

#42

Thanks guys. Appreciated.
No Yan, I don’t think there is enough stuff on the bench, you should see mine…

#43

I would have like more detailling in my image like making the bench older, wood buckling, holes and dirt and numerous other little things I could do with time. Something stumped me though: the glass dome is not nearly what I wanted. Now it’s too “perfect”, too 3D. I can add bumps and dirt but cannot figure how to make the glass thick. Now it looks like it’s made of 2 thin sheets of transparent material. Could you please advise.

Not sure if you tried this but would using radiosity fix it?

Tim

#45

I would like to stay away from radiosity. If possible.

#46

There. Some enhancements in texture and lighting. This is as far as I will go with this. I learned so much with this challenge but still have LOTS of studying to do. Again, thanks Brian for setting this up and thank you guys for the very friendly collaboration we have in this place. I submitted the image in the CGTalk 3D Gallery for critics.

Rick, I really like your changes. The lighting definitely focuses the viewer’s attention on the clock. Great work!
