      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.

              Looney Tunes.jpgWell Pete, if you're going to do Looney Toons Mad Scientst stuff. . .You gotta add this guy! πŸ’š

              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 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.

                          And then it smells like burning rubber for the rest of the day. I haven't seen smoke yet but ...

                            @solo:
                            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.
