Maxwell Render | Official public forum

I used to paint on the Amiga with this, ahh my old best friend :



Old version : http://www.lumental.com/sgrunger/C64Mouse4.jpg

Modeled in Solidworks, rendered in MAX with Maxwell 1.1.33, sampling levels 13 reached in ~4 or so hours, one white emitter plane, tiny bit of photoshop brightness/contrast adjustment.

UPDATE: Bigger render with a bit more bounces and fixed geometry.
UPDATE2: Added his tail friend.
UPDATE3: New render in 1024 width + 1 extra sampling level + 10 bounces instead of 8 or 9 (I forget)

Awesome!

Hey that rock-solid mouse... hahaha cool!
AMIGA WAS THE BEST COMPUTER INVENTED!!
Rest in peace Jay Miner!

nice render !

yes, you did it ribstwi

Updated the pic,
Did Jay Miner actually design the whole mouse? Was it destined for the Amiga or the Commodore64/128? Since I know that C64's mini operating system, Geos, used the 1351 mouse and all. I was 5 years old when I had a C64 so I guess I'm a bit 'young' and unaware of all the facts and dates.

So perfect

Hehe, this one brings back retro memories from the -80's
Good and nice pic except for one thing that bothers me, the buttons look
too sharp and big around their edges. Other than that it's great!

Amiga ruled! By the way, Jay Miner was an electronic engineer, not a designer. The mouse was designed for the Amiga 1000 (the first model, publicly released in 1985).

I really like your image and the idea, Ribstwi. I've still got two of those mouses here. Some constructive comment:

I guess the buttons in your model are just a tiny bit too short and too dark brown, and there are apparently two reasons that make the buttons come out a bit too much:

1: The button angles differ a little from the real thing and
2: the mouse edge around the buttons has an angle that is too extreme.

Here's the real thing:



Keep up the nice work.

Cheers!

Oh metin, seeing this makes the same effect on me of seeing one of my old girlfriends really...Thanks for her photo!

That's SWEET

Metinseven, thanks for the points to fix, I have the mouse in front of me and realize the 'top' of the mouse didn't have the same angle as the bottom, fixing that led to a much more realistic model.

Hi Ribstwi,

It's a truly great model now, good job. Now if you only make the buttons less brownish the materials will be totally authentic as well.

Would you mind sharing the model if I may ask? No problem if you wouldn't like that.

Cheers!
