Title: Steampunk Spider
Post by: Magnus Skogsfjord on September 25, 2015, 12:18:39 AM
Hello fellow rendering enthusiasts,

I've been able to find time to do a small project I've been wanting to do for a while now: A steampunk spider. This chap was modeled in NX and rendered in KS6 Beta.

Comments are welcome and appreciated!

Very nice Magnus, particularly love the light bulb corrosion/oxidisation and the tight DOF

That is awesome ...

Lightbulb looks more like solid glass rather than thin glass bulb .. ?

Thank you, Philippe.

That's a cool image. Might have been a better choice for the steampunk look, yes. I actually had a hard time deciding to go for the refractive look(well spotted btw), or the one that you posted here.

I landed on trying to achieve this kinda look:

Probably the finest render you have done to date Magnus (well in my opinion anyway). Loving the attention to detail :)

The renders are great.... but I love this concept! Very Guillermo del Toro!

Agree with MM's comments. KS6 is gonna serve us well for worn/oxidised/patinated materials.

Thanks Edwardo. I'm glad you liked it :) And yeah, metals are a thrill to work with now.

Thank you Esben and Philippe, I'm glad you guys like it!

Okay, so I wanted to push it a little bit further. Philippe gave some great input on the bulb appearance, which I tried to achieve on this next render. Also, I wanted to put the fella in it's..well.. I'm tempted to say natural habitat, but that might be stretching it. This would maybe be a scrap heap of cogs and other grunge metals. Anyway, I downloaded some rubble from Turbosquid, and this is what came out. Rendered in KS6 Beta. Added a shadow pass and did some minor color adjustments in PS.

Why not make a metal-steam-punk-spider-web with something like old type coper wires (you know the ones that were encapsulated by textile rather than plastic) and put it in an old factory-workshop type environement ... ?

Am I giving you too much work ?  Haha, let me know, I'll shut up then  :P

That's actually a really cool idea! I'll note that one down:) Thanks!
