Come on guys, you shouldn't need to download anything.....there are very few things more simple to model than a nail or sphere. In fact, if you have the SP plugin or the add shape plugin, you don't even have to model the sphere. Cheers,

Looks Good...........Better then my renders

Excellent Work.....

Thanks for your comments folks, I think we all have fond memories of the friendly corner shop.John looks good, i'm a bit of a fan of B&W Images. regards John

NIce, very cool. Would not mind sticking that on the deck of my helicarrier!

Haha! I checked the 3DW to see if anyone had done it, but never thought to check FormFonts. Looks like my memory is going too, as I apparently QA'd it.

Was curious to see if there was caustics on the shadow side, so i moved the light to the side and found some behind the apple and on the base of the metal. [image: Xby5_GlassAppleCaustics.jpg]

Looks very nice Andre. And thanks.

you can import this model in a game called rFactor and drive it.

Thanks. I always try to make the exterior exposure bigger for a more photorealistic look. It also helps to merge the interior and the exterior togeather more naturally.

Your renders improved a lot! I don't know how your render engine works, but see if you can get the sun shadows to get a little softer. Seems to me that they are too hard/sharp right now.

Here is the next part of the tutorial. http://nomeradona.blogspot.com/2011/05/virtual-reality-tutorial-part-2.html

There are experiments however... YouTube - Prisoners in Pink: CBS News [flash=480,385:313qfr41]http://www.youtube.com/v/llXPtNGEKn4[/flash:313qfr41] I think I'll split these OT posts off the original which should not be spoiled by them...)

@mike lucey said: If I had one of those I'd hang it on the ceiling. I couldn't see myself letting a kid use it. Great model and well rendered. Please let us more about the process involved? As far as I was able to explain ... I do not know. I think this is all clear. [image: 2rwke8j.jpg]

For mac users, not advanced users I mean, here, its very fast no cuda though. Multiple UVs work fine in this one. http://www.graphicall.org/117 (watch out, OSX 10.6.7 only!)

absolument superbe !!!!

Thank you

Very nice. Clean style. Scott

@marked001 said: broomstick.. you're giving me too much credit. i did this in pshop... but that is actually a great idea An idea that I tried as soon as I saw your renders... to no avail: fog only works "upwards" it seems, and I was not able to replicate the effect you made there. I realized after writing my comment that it was photoshop... Nice images tho, very professional. Sometimes a nice model with clean lines and good colors is enough to convey one's idea

@srx said: I like it. Good modeling and details. .. Thanks SRX, you're right. It's got more feeling this way. nice job
