Wine Opener - Model Posted

And another thing further down the hole. A serrated blade is better for cutting the foil.

Here's a quick one to help show what Tadema means about the HDRI.
The 'texture' on the handle is all reflections from the HDRI.
Your Soft Box may be too 'Flat'.

From a different angle

Nice images Box. Actually did a couple of renders using an HDRI that gave a "sharper" light like what you used, just personal preference for the images with the "softer" HDRI that I posted.

Ok. But I thought this had become a render this thread, which shows multiple renders of a specific model.
You don't need to defend your renders.
Other renders are not criticism just different options.

No worries Box. Just thought I was clarifying I understood the points Tadema was making earlier....

I am happy about this contribution - in every facet of every participant. It is a living proof of how open, constructive, helpful and respectfully this forum deals with each other, despite minor misunderstandings here and there. A great place because the question about SCF's future has been asked in another post. So thanks to all!

@ Charles - how did you make this helix cork screw part? and btw - I love your detailed view onto an everyday object in itself

HornOxx , Really appreciate your positive comments about this thread in general.

On another note.... How did I make the corkscrew part.... Started by creating a helix line with the "Follow Me Helix" plugin. Did some minor adjustment on the helix with the scale tool ( compressing , stretching ) so it best matched the patent drawing I was working from. Drew a circle on the end of the helix, making sure it was square to the last segment of the helix and then ran " Follow Me" tool. Created the point and the rectangular section for the hinge end with "Vertex Tools". Pretty much got real lucky as it went pretty smooth for something I haven't done in a long time.

Here is my attempt. Still getting my head around HDRI.

baz, Good show ! Really like the different view point. Can relate to your comment about HDRI's. Looks like you may have used one of the studio setups from the SKetchUcation store. Their great but still trying to wrap my brain around "best practices" with them.
chedda, Your welcome. As usual your image "rocks".

... sorry - I couldn't resist to appreciate this beautiful model with a rendertest too
For years now, exactly this opener has been somewhere in the back of my drawer and I haven't even noticed that there's a blade in it as well ...

Good show HornOxx.... like your cork too.... again enjoying the different perspectives everyones doing.

Solo, that looks really great. I like the colors and the lighting a lot.

Pretty cool solo ! Liking the texture you gave the handle scales.

I am trying to learn how to use the SimLab Composer render engine.

I think it is a little too dark and I was aiming for some shadows.

ntxdave, doesn't look to dark on my screen . Seriously good effort if your just learning a new render engine. Don't know spit about SimLab so can't give any bad advice . You do have some very soft shadows going on, seems as if the lighting is just real "soft".
