V-ray renders, studio setup, I just used the same texture from diffuse, for the emissive layer of the v-ray material.

very nice!!!

Finally had a few minutes to throw these into the mix. Great renders all the way around from everyone!

Adam, I like the composition of Iphone_LED2.jpg. Good looking materials, except there is something odd going with the table lamp; ceramic base has some material (or surface normal) problem with the grazing angle.

Thanks Notareal. I adjusted the material and got a better result. Also added an HDRI for fill light.

Excellent render, Adam...
What render app. did you use...??

EarthMover · 24 Nov 2009, 19:21

Thanks Kim. I used Vray for Max with the Solid Rocks plugin for render settings. Vray light material for the LCD.

A quick Photon render with Kerkythea. Again something learned about emitting light. Thanks Pete

If I may, I would like to try again.
I went to sleep last night thinking of a way to render as quickly as possible without light-emitting materials, and today I woke up and I had the idea to only using projectors, a thin glass to cover the screen, and most importantly, projector must coincides exactly with the image on the screen.
Then I looked at my clock alarm and I think that this may be interesting to show the reflection in the "thin glass" over the Iphone screen, how to do this too...? I put a red light iside the alarm and a red glass on the numbers, the result you see now!

Awesome effect...you have reflections going both ways

Respect Oli. This is my favorite so far.

olishea · 25 Nov 2009, 16:40

Hi,

Here's my attempt.....

Twilight Easy 9 [5hrs Cooking]

I got mugged by an iphone; lingering in this back alley:

twilight: fake emitter @ 100W, interior preset, studio hdri at 0.3 brightness (for fill light), sunlight disabled, rough stone template to concrete

edit: a slightly different version

Oli
wish I had the time to try this but too busy working to attempt these challenges at the minute - making mental notes on the tips though!!!

BTW how did you manage to get an AT&T signal all the way over there in Manchester lad!!! I thought o2 was the only service provider in the UK for iphones!!!!

olishea · 25 Nov 2009, 20:45

keep making mental notes mate you'll be shit hot in no time!

solo · 25 Nov 2009, 20:47

Oli, I used an Aluminum base, and tweaked it a little.

olishea · 26 Nov 2009, 09:27
