Hello Seghier
what are you using for lighting ?

Hi Philip
in the first render i used hdr image only for lighting
in the second i used the same hdr with three lights ; one light above the camera (like flash)

[F. Tella]

Very nice result. Jewellery renders are not easy at all.

[seghier]

Thanks Fernando
yes ; and need long time to render dispersion and caustics

[Tea_Bag]

Wow Nicely done! the material & lighting on the first one is great!

[Neb]

I like both renders. Great materials and overall look.

[seghier]

thanks Tea Bag
Thanks Neb

Nice work Seghier!
I've been trying to get some good jewellery renders myself, do you have any tips - especially on the lighting (do you use a HRD image or create objects with an emitter material)?

Cheers,
Gareth

Thanks Gareth
for the first image i used hdr image only and played with the new settings in maxwell render : Response , Tone mapping ( temp..)

for the second image i used hdr with 3 lights ; with some changes of response , tone mapping and multilights

i used subdivision modifier to avoid sharp edges and wireframe texture to create glossy edges

Very Clever!
