Hi guys,

Finally have a couple images I can share. The 10C product is a battery charger for construction sites. It can charge 4 tool batteries at once and in only 10 minutes without battery damage. Each battery receptical is a interchangable adapter for any tool brand (ie. Dewault, Makitta, etc.) The yellow release buttons are colored matched to each brand color (yellow for Dewalt in the image). This thing is big - 18 inches dia.

The second image was a test accident, so forgive the noise, but it looked cool. It is a close up of a new bathroom shower caddy for simplehuman.

Comments welcome. oh, the images were originally adjusted on a mac with 1.8 gama, but I tried levels to make them more PC viewable. The first image may look washed out on a mac now.

8) Any comment would just be nit-picking ... This looks like final quality to me !
The first one is particularly to my taste (both in terms of colors and contrast)

First one is perfect. Are the backlit numbers mxi texture or actual emitters behind geometry? The lighting could use a little work on the second one though. Some of the wireform is completly black, and it creates a visual hole in the object. Hope that makes sene.

:D Thanks everyone.

Eric,

The blue numbers are light pipes with a rectangular emitter behind them. It is just large enough to cover all four numbers (1 for each side). There is a black plane inside to block any light leaks through the vent holes. I have found that blue LED's are tricky. Too much blue power and they shift to purple. But lower powers loose intensity fast.

The second image was a test render, but I accidentally had the background hidden. I agree the lighting isn't perfect, but created an interesting cover shot for that phase of the project.
