Render this: Mad science

I don't like just the syringe so close to the camera (too much distorted and seems out of scale)...the rest promises very good!
Oh well, the distortion is on purpose, as well as the rotation of the camera. I am terrified by needles, so I tried to emphasize it, but you are right, maybe it was too much...
I moved the camera a bit and changed the angle another bit, hope it looks better now
Ah, the render was already running when I noticed this square flame...
, gotta fix it later for the next test.
I'm still struggling with the mats, I don't like those liquids, I have to do something with them...I know the image is still too noisy, but I was not gifted with patience
anyway, as I have to change so many things I think I'll stop the render.
I'm hating the emitter in the middle of my scene, but I can't make it look dimmer without loosing the light it emits. Maybe I'll postpro this... or hide it a bit into those strange googles.

that brain is the first one you find when you search for components...

Good - because I sometimes cannot find my own...

Karina nice little scene you got there. I like the distortion; it looks like a nightmare!

I'm re-posting the link to the CGI site that is in Pete's first post. It's really worth seeing what people are doing over there, some great treatments. This is a very challenging challenge.

I like this one.. All Mad scientists movies were in Black & White right?

I didn't want to do any post work but I think the original black and white films had a much greater degree of contrast than this image so maybe I should have brought it into Photoshop to do that. Tonight I'll call up The Cabinet of Dr Caligari and see what it looks like.

It's AL-IIIIIVE!!!

Excellent renders, especially pete's.
I just did this in five min, just a clay render to understand what I have to do.
-
Gave the mouse a nuclear touch.
I promised myself I wouldn't get too much into rendering as most of my work is CAD related, but once you start it's hard to stop.
I really need a new computer. The computer I have shuts down when I try to render something in Octane (it should have a splash screen that says: Who Do You Think You're Kidding?!). This simple scene took a couple of hours in modo.
-
Threw in a few extras, to make it 'LOONEY SCIENCE'.
I really like the Tesla orb, I think I nailed it.
(no post processing)
-
The Orb looks awesome!
-
Not like I will ever use it...but out of curiosity...how the hell did you do that Tesla?! its amazing
is it just modeled emitters? with a graduated colour? fantastic
-
Well Pete, if you're going to do Looney Toons Mad Scientst stuff. . .You gotta add this guy! 
Oh and Yeah, A tut on Tesla Orbs would be great. I use them in my Architectural Practice all the time!
-
The last render pete is almost perfect, some sss on the mouse and straight to galleries like 3dtotal. And some dirt, always

Solo,
That last rendering is pretty great. My only comment is that the desktop is so clean -- it hardly fits with a mad scientist. I would throw in some dust/cobwebs, scorch/burn marks, and/or cracks in the tiles. Make it look like he his done crazy (gone wrong) experiments in the past, not just that he collects odd desktop trinkets.
-
Well just cuz he's mad doesn't necessarily mean he isn't neat.

I originally started with dirt maps, blood stains et al, but the scene looked too gritty, like a bad video game. I prefer the clean reflections as this was more a challenge to make the orb look right than anything else.
I have added some finer details to it using paint-shop, see the mad scientist in reflection of beaker.
