My First Render Upload- Hand Drill

ShubhamShah · December 03, 2016, 02:22:12 AM

Hey, this Shubham Shah. I am a Newbie. I was introduced to Rendering few months back and since then I am in love with it. I learnt about Keyshot from a friend and started from scratch. A few months of learning and I have come up with this rendering. I got the model from GrabCAD. Hope that this is good. I know I have to learn a lot lot lot more..but this is just the start. I hope to receive feedback to help improve my renders. Do reply if you LIKE or HAVE AN ADVICE FOR ME......THANK YOU

It's a decent start!

Since you start out in such a humble way, I'll try to pick out what (in my eyes) can be improved. The first thing I notice is the plastic which currently is too shiny, making it look like a toy rather than sturdy hardware. By taking a quick look at a reference picture (http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/459231/BlackDecker_ReturnToWork.jpg), you can see that the material is much less glossy, and with some subtle texturing. Increasing roughness and a subtle plastic bump map should do it to begin with.

Secondly, I think the brushed material seems a bit too shiny as well. Maybe roughen that up as well.

I like the subtle DoF you got going on for the last one. A good start

Hope to see you push this further.

Thanks a lot for the inputs...I'll work on it

Hey Shubham! Welcome. I think you're off to a GREAT start. Composition goes a long way toward am interesting shot and you handle that really well. Some small tweaks here and there (like the ones Magnus mentions) and you'll be on you're way. Look forward to seeing more!

Reducing the gloss of the plastic and the shine of the brushed metal...

Nice start. I'd try to use an HDRI that has more contrast since your latest image looks a bit dark/flat.
