Cassette

[solo]

Was gonna enter this into the 30 minute challenge but realised I already had one entry and the new rules only allow for one, so I adding a little more detail and rendered it instead as there is no point in a model going to waste.

Good job, Solo
Can't stand to see unanswered posts

Show off, superb

What you have on it? An audio-tutorial?
Indeed, awesome Why the tape has some stripes on it? (it can be seen in second wireframe image)

Holy crap. That's absolutely awesome.

Because it's modeled in symmetry, I only modeled half of it, made it a component and flipped it, so that line is the join.

OMG, that´s outstanding! Thea?

Thanks,

Yeah Thea render.

Two questions Pete...

The square stippling, is that displacement?

Can I see the material settings for the black plastic?

It's stunning

[solo]

The main texture on cassette has a basic Thea supplied noise at 25% bump, the squareish texture is this image:

Used also as a bump (no displacement used) at 45%.

Thanks Pete. I've still so much to learn

Rich, here is the mat.pack file, open in Thea and see how it was made.

Amazing.

Okay Pete. . .you just need to stop now. I don't know if I can handle any more of this . . . You've crossed the line from being inspiring to just downright irritating.

**I feel so inferior right now.

p.s. Thanks for the mat pack. I'm sure NOW my renders will be amazing.**

[Rich O Brien]

Thanks Pete. The bump in that mat.pack is it one of the defaults with Thea?

Sorry for the OT guys but the more you play with Thea the more you want to know.

Yes, it's one of the procedural noises (Perlin) notice I scaled it down to 100.00

[Vicspa]

Fast and GREAT, what more can one say.

[Rich O Brien]

So you just dragged and dropped the Perlin procedural after scaling into the bump slot?

That whole Procedural stuff is still Greek to me I'm afraid. Same for Sigma in the Structure tab. Anyway, thanks for the info

I dropped in the 'More Settings' menu, scaled it and dragged to bump slot.
