Hello,
I made sci-fi weapon concept in 3ds max through a tutorial and I rendered it here in KeyShot. The lightning was added in photoshop.
Nice work Brian, the only thing (and this is NOT a criticism) is that perhaps the enviroment would be better in a studio set up. Reflections appear to be some kind of outdoor skyscraper scene?
Thanks for the suggestion mjb. I welcome any critique and new ideas. I am still new to 3D modeling, texturing and rendering so I love feedback. I updated the second image to a jpg from a tiff so it will now display; which was rendered with studio lighting setup. I think it shows the materials better.
