Title: Updated LST radiator experiments
Post by: DriesV on May 02, 2013, 07:49:41 AM
I already posted some images of LST radiators in the past.
These are some more up-to-date shots.

I saw a nice opportunity to put the latest webinar's lighting concepts through their paces. Specifically the use of area diffuse lights to brighten up dark spots in a model.
I must say it's working pretty well for this project! :D
This technique gives traditional product photography a serious run for its money...

The renderings also features all the metals I've been experimenting with over the last couple of days.

Gearing up for final brochure images...

An interior shot with very strong DOF.
Dunno, but somehow it feels like you're in a Death Star trench. ;D

Still a bit grainy though, but I had to pull a screenshot quickly.

Absolutely stunning images.  My favorite is the view from inside (the Death Star trench).  No traditional camera can go inside to take that shot :)

Thanks for the comments, guys! ;)
Thanks to Luxion for featuring it on fb...

Ed, you're right about not being able to take that shot with a real camera. I actually tried doing it! ;D
However, that shot serves very little purpose to sell any product features or functionality. Same goes for the last image.
Why would you want to show half-fuzzy brackets and a disassembled control knob assembly?

Because I can...and it looks cool. 8)

Thanks a lot, Josh! :)
No flow viz on this one. It's no ECO radiator... ;)
I might just jump back into that sort of business. Just to try pushing my previous attempts a bit further. Thanks for the hint.
