RE: Render from WIP.
Thanks mate, the AO look is the accident, a random positive that just happened due to oversight. Other angles show the hdri which is bloody odd tbh but some angles leave it out and this is how it turns out.

RE: Render from WIP.
Ta folks, this came about from an accident. I forgot to add texture to the infinite plain/shadow catcher and the actual hdri is not shown in this view.

RE: Smart-ish (Kettle) Cookie
Ta mate, replacing lost component library means I can rethink stuff too/

RE: Render from WIP.
Gradually moving this on, there are numerous changes but very slow progress. The hubcap proved to be a pain and a half but not quite there yet and gradually straightening panels, sub dividing etc.
All Twilight in this, just reduced the saturation to -30.

Render from WIP.
No, not a James Bond or James Bondage even, film.
This image showcases the smoothing process and is a partial clay image in passing.
Another Affinity with LUT post pro.

Smart-ish (Kettle) Cookie
I have changed mats and geometry slightly, also run the render through Affinity with an LUT.
The brushed metal finish is an improvement I think.

RE: Slightly less stupid kettle.
@Bryan-K
Ta mate, never really convinced by prints on white goods but thought I would give it a go. Better version with a few tweaks and mats coming. -
Slightly less stupid kettle.
I cannot call it smart because it does not go online to order teabags and milk etc. Skynet would get it's power shut off if it tried.
I think a bit of a bump surface will help at some stage but will have to find something subtle for that.

RE: "Watt" Micrometer
Another piece of artistic magic. The digital museum idea is a cracker too.

RE: Homebuild Hi-Fi.
Appreciated mate, thanks.
I know of developments when I was looking which included a simple arm on a low friction bar at the tope of the unit, sorry but I cannot find pictures, it was thirty years ago though. I did this for giggle and kicks, no doubt if I were seriuous about it I would look up knew (Pun intended) methods.
In short, you are correct. Keeping the orientation of the 'needle' will be difficuilt even in the example you posted.
Thanks mate, I appreciate you taking the time.

Ta mare, pretty simple stuff really, just time. Twilight makes the biggest improvement. -
RE: A piece from my real job, not really sketchup related.
@Box
Magic, the 'boat' looks like a great place to be.The door etc well, mind blown in a good way. Thanks for showing it here, it improves my day seeing this sort of thing.

RE: Homebuild Hi-Fi.
Ta mate, knowing when to stop is not something I can claim to be good at.......
It helps that I still have one of those old Dell laptops.

RE: Homebuild Hi-Fi.
I have got the twitch. A few more bits and I will get it to you.
just tinkering I know, tomorrow sometime OK?

RE: Homebuild Hi-Fi.
Ta Rich. Modeled myself but cues from stuff I did more than a few years ago.
Each module docks directly to the one below apart from base. USB and HDMI ports at the back, control via the built in keyboard module and an app for mobile or a pad/notebook.
Rendered in Twilight to give a base level for Rayscaper attempts.
WiFi speakers and/or headphones for locational sounds. The vertical turntable is wall mounted via hooks at the back.
