Evening!

Here's a old old set of Rhino models i built sometime last year, nothing serious really just silly models. So i thought i'd let Maxwell 1.0 give them a beating. The scene is setup in C4D after triangulation of the Rhino models, then a MXS is generated and the materials are tweaked in Studio. Excuse the horrible textures, but they're temporary one's found on the web as i lost my whole texture archive in a recent hdd crash

It's lit only by HDRI, no other type of lights in this scene, so the scene setup was real quickly done

[Edit again] : Last and final updated added now with the rendering done after 16 hours 5 minutes 49 seconds, sampling level 16,36 was reached. I'm satisfied with it even tho the textures are kinda ugly.

nice one Maximus!!!

[Maximus3D]

Thanks Daros glad you liked it so far even tho it's a bit silly looking hehe

Looks really nice! Pops right out.

the handle looks good...you should add some bubbles to detail it even more. (even though not all have them) and the void of the metal.


s**t they have my fingerprint on the handle. it wasn't me officer.

[Maximus3D]

Thanks Mihai

You're right insomnia, bubbles and that little extra metal thingy in there inside the handle should have bumped it up a step further to reality even tho the rest of the scene is pretty much unreal looking if lazyness ain't gonna bite me i might fix those things.. hehe

Btw i forgot what kinda plastic the handle is made outta so i just set the ior to 1.59 with a couple of bumps and other type of maps to roughen it up a bit.

That's pretty screwed up dude!

Good work Max, really like the unconventional touch to it

This is a fun image, max. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's resolved further.

Excellent work Max! It will be cool when the noise clears up. Silly is a good thing. Nothing like creating something people think is fake and making it look real

Adrian: Thanks you're right, screwed is the word for it hehe and i like this type of unconventional work as you said, it's not architecture or product viz work (nothing wrong with that) but it's.. different

jleckron: Thanks you'll see it in a few hours again when it's cleaner unless it crashes before it's done.. :/ i'll post a update again tonight.

Greg: Thanks i also hope it'll look cool once it's less noisy, and you're right.. making something unreal look real is fun challenging and silly sure, but that's what i like.

Cheers!

Hmm... Just one thought (from a conceptual standpoint) - it might be fun to add threads to the little nail/screw looking thingys - That way, they really would be almost impossible to put into the wood (as you have shown). Probably too much effort to go to for what is, in essance, just a fun idea.

[Maximus3D]

Updated the first post with a new rendering after about 5 hours of rendering.

jleckron: Yup i thought about the same thing too when i built these objects, but i had some trouble doing that so i said "Screw this!" and did them just plain and simple like this. I might redo that again tho with threads so they look sexier

Hi Max,
When I first seen the render I was wondering why you had screw heads on the nail things, but then I seen the screw driver and I then I seen your idea…

I think it’s coming along rather nicely; it’s really a funny render, good job on creativity!

Cheers,
Mark

Yeah I really like that render a lot Maximus!
Maybe the handle diameter is a touch too big in relation to the blade?

Looking great, Max!
