Congratulations!

thanks guys..much appreciated.. i'll post up the finals when its done.

I am not sure the metal needs more specular as it is a rusty piece. On the other hand, your metal texture seems to be to low on resolution for a closeup like that. It is ok for the zoomed out version though. Have you tried applying a 'noise'pattern (really fine) as bump map for the rusty Corten steal ? Nice job by the way

Still thank you a lot for sharing!

Welcome - this is something I've already learnt in these forums - just thought the answer is faster this way than starting to find the original thread.

Jason, In Maxwell, You can set the 'intensity' for each environmental (HDRI) channel. For instance you can increase the intensity of the 'illumination' chanel to e.g 10 (instead of default 1) to get brighter output. You can change the intensity levels for each channel seperately (doesn't have to be the same value for all). In this case, you can enable all the channels (= uploading the hdr in the refraction/reflection/background channel)except for the 'illumination' channel and let the physical sky take care of the light.

haha...that'd be my partner I was just snapping off embarassing pictures

I too have lost posts yesterday...

Nice one Jason, well done Mike

yes! power cord would've been clutch! someday maybe there will be an update

i really like the way these images are presented. It's a cross between a pure architecture drawing (since it is an elevation) and a photomontoge (which I suppose it is) nice work

Congratulations Jason on your beautiful baby. From this topic itself its apparent that quite a few members have become parents in the recent past. I suggest someone start a 'my baby' thread, it would be fun. I'll definitely join in. Guite

..so i finally got this card sent out last week.. and obviously this is 'good', but i've heard from some friends that lots of people (obviously not in the 'know') think its just a photo! haha..obviously that is a compliment, but still.. then it misses the point...i figured putting my logo on the ball would seal the deal that it was a rendering..haha
