A test with textures only in Keyshot...

an other one in a warmest environment....

Nice harmonica, but the obvious repeating pattern on the ground plane is very distracting

Yes you are right  ???
i've correct it  ;)

Metal is looking great. I find the wood a bit strange though. Is the texture set in box mapping mode ? Light setup is also really good.

Thanks Nico  ;)
Yes i've a problem with wood material in Keyshot  :(

UV mapping is the only way i found to get decent results. If you have a small radius to map, spliting surfaces and mapping individually often do the job, but with rounded corners i still haven't found an easy way to get it right.

Yes UV mapping is the best but it's a model to Grabcad and when i put it in C4D to create UV it's the misery  ;)
I've change the mapping mode of the wood texture
I hope it's better now.
In attachment 2 other tests.
Thanks again

Yes ! 'harmonica.45.jpg' looks awesome now.

Cool ! thanks Nico  ;)

I've added a little blue light and 2-3 corrections

here a black and copper version...

with vinyls records...

Hey Finema! Looks awesome but the timber still needs a bit of a bump map in my opinion. Try increasing the gloss to 18% (wouldn't know how much is that in roughness haha but wood on an harmonica has to be at least hand oiled) and adding a 0.15 bump to it so the darker seeds on the grain insets a tiny bit. Timber can be tricky sometimes when not using uv mapping.

Oh! By the way, that label detail looks incredible!!!

Thanks Nicordf
i will test... ;)

Have you tried enabling rounded edges for the sake of the wood pieces? They seem a bit too sharp to me. Love the subject though!

Yes will, i've tried but that causes artefacts (i haven't the last version of keyshot)

I hear that. In that case, a quick little touch-up in post would go far.

I've only enabling rounded edges on the wood piece (i dunno why but not on metal piece = artefacts) and i think it's better

Can you see the difference Will ?

Looks perfect now! (how much did the render take?)

Thanks nicordf
256 Samples > 1280 x 1024 = 12 minute render

Looks awesome, Finema. The rounded edges and wear on the wood surfaces makes all the difference in the world.

Cheers,
Eric

Thanks Eric  ;)

Very nice -- Thank you for sharing.

Thanks TyRuben  ;)

The last render with a subtil update in lights.

I think this render is better than my Imperial Jar in the Keyshot Gallery..
It's my opinion  ;)

Yep! And I think it works well.

Thanks Will  ;)

Wow! Tout simplement magnifique!!

Thanks  ;)
