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

      If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

        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.

              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.

                          The last render pete is almost perfect, some sss on the mouse and straight to galleries like 3dtotal. And some dirt, always πŸ˜„

                            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.

                            Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.

                              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.

                                      Pete these are excellent renders. About dirt, an idea is to use a clay render, overlay a dirt texture, then combine it with the original great render you have here. Just a PP idea, eraser tool is the key.
