Great example of the new translucent materials in Keyshot 4.
Thanks for sharing.
It's a keeper... :)

Thanks for all the kind words! :)

Here you have another shot. This time with a warm IES spot light from the top and a cold spherical area light in front of the 'ECO' mark.

More of a studio approach for lighting this clip. :)
There is very little EV lighting in this scene (brightness 0,135). There are 4 area light panels in this scene.

Also a little animation of the original scene settings...

Do you have to change the material if you render it on a white table top?  Or will that material work well in a assembly rendering?

The material is quite good as it is. :)
I applied it to a little assembly I grabbed from grabcad.
The white material is exactly the same as the the clips I posted earlier. No material settings changed. The assembly has the same scale as the clips (original size in mm).

note: I'm not to sure that these PA parts would actually work on a steam engine in real life... ;D

Thanks!

Here's another shot with a bit more spunk.

thats all very beautiful and nice, but translucency in ks4 has still bugs, and the new point and ies lights are worthless when it comes to shadows... i hope there will be an update soon....

i think you can only appreciate all that with a nice 16core machine ;-)


cheers

Can you be more specific about the "bugs" with the translucent material?

It's true that translucent materials take longer to resolve when rendering with area lights than rendering with just an HDRI. I thinks that's normal behavior.
Also, the images above were rendered on a 6 core machine (3930K) and still rendered pretty fast.
