Try recessing the light emitters into the knobs behind a clear material - hope this helps

This receiver, took a little while to model. It was done very accurately (true to the actual object) with a calliper measuring all aspects down to 0.1 mm.

These marks are actually concave hemispheres on the actual model and they are very bright (kinda burns the eye if you stare at it).

Thomas, I'm just trying to help. I've done quite a bit of product modeling/rendering. The actual LED's are probably behind the concave hemispheres. Your model looks very good.

BTW, don't sell yourself short to others on this forum, your work is excellent.

You are right !
The LEDs are behind the lens. In the next iteration I will turn the concave part to a dielectric and place an emitter behind it. This should be much closer to the real thing.

Thank you Greg. I do appreciate your input (any input).

Kind regards,
Thomas

... because ThomasAn. always tells me they suck

It should be "rock", not "suck"

Thanks Tom ! but I can hardly compare to your talent or the skilled artists in this forum. As a matter of fact I am already amazed by your next projects ... and I haven't even seen them yet

You should be kidding bro I'm an old fa*t now Wait for Tom 2.0
Hehehe... yes yes.. I have new projects coming soon Soon means not tomorrow

Congratulations, nice ones!!
The one with the leds is perfect!!

Suck? no "sucks" in your renders man!

[Thomas An.]

Thank you everyone !
IMHO, if anything, your generous support is THE most the impressive thing in this gallery

Hi all,

This is the third image in a series for this receiver.
(A view from the back)

[aitraaz]

great...i think the dof works against you in this case, it looks a bit forced, gives a bit of an unnatural feel. otherwise, brilliant

[-Adrian]

very clean modeling, i really like it

sub-d or nurbs?

[tom]

Great image! Just the cable needs to be more relaxed and I think the inner PCB is a color map with the elements on it. Some part is B/W, any reason?

[jotero]

always against good work thomas

[def4d]

Your receiver is just incredible
Ok the Dof is a little bit strong, and the cable a bit rigid but... how can we critic such a great work?

[Thomas An.]

Hi everyone,

aitraaz, hindus, -Adrian, tom, jotero, def4d, thank you for your comments.

This model is dimensionally accurate based on a physical model and it is precise down to 0.01mm accuracy. All aspects have been modelled including the internal PCB electronics. (All surfaces are NURBS)

Here are a few shaded view snapshots:

Hi tom,

Thanks for your comments.
You could be correct about the cable being rigid. I tried to model it as I saw it on the physical device. The cable was not as limp as fabric (or rope) but was not as rigid as steel.

Yes all components on the PCB are modelled. About the color, well the image above is the B&W version.

The image bellow is the full color version:

hey, this last one is really really good. i much prefer this full color one, a thing that always struck me in your images is the way you blend together those cool and warm different kind of lights.
