Hey,

@dyarza - Thanks for your comments and Yes Moi3D Rocks!

@brett - Thank you! Yip 2 hours it does seem alot there but the iPod and box are pretty basic shapes 1 Hour to do and as for the headphones that took an hour including the cable. Its 2 Hours for modeling only texture lighting etc not included. Solidworks seems a lot quicker than Pro E for modeling Thanks again!

@def4d - Thank you! The only part of the plexi that seems odd to me is the back corner edge seems invisible or the edge fillet on the lid. Hope thats what you seeing

i talk about the right fillet, that shows strange reflections/refractions, it is like there was an unwanted edge crossing the right side of the plexi... not sure though

Had another play with this project and using dof for the first time and change camera angle - so any tips would be good!




The strange effects caused by the right fillet seems to be normal looking at the real plexi casing

I don't like the wire being cropped. DOF looks good.

Needs a little more render time?

[Tea_Bag]

Thanks for the tip Bubbaloo looks much better with the wire not cropped!

I´m curious.
What kind of lightning do you use for this project?

[Tea_Bag]

@djflod - Thanks for comments! - earphones had the mesh missing thats probably why they look stranged added the mesh now and rendering!

@naikku - I've used 5 emitter planes to light this scene but for more recent projects I use mxi emitters. Here is a screen shot of this scenes lighting

Looks good!

I think you should move the iPod slightly to the side to make it more independant from the casing. Right now it's position matches the casing excactly at the left edge, this making the casing look more "important" than the iPod...

@KurtS - Thanks alot for the conctructive advise! Moving it slightly to the right made it look alot better! Will post that update tommorow
