Keyshot 7 Render Competition - Nail Polish

[JonWelch]

This is my first submission for the Keyshot 7 contest. Once I installed KS7, I loved the new metallic paint and cloudy plastic. This uses a mixture of the two, but really the metallic paint is what's focused on. The cloudy plastic is mixed in with the metallic paint on the insides of the bottles, you can see some areas where the metallic paint fades in and out, simulating the inconsistency of the nail polish on the walls inside the bottle. I think it's most evident in the neck/tube of the orange bottle. But back to the metallic paint, I wanted to really show it off, and after watching my fiance try dozens of nail polish, I thought it would be fun to exaggerate what our bathroom feels like....nail polish leaking everywhere!

I modeled the bottle off of the Essie brand nail polish using Solidworks 2017. Surfacing to make the nail polish appear to pour out was not particularly easy, but I think it worked out alright.

I've attached the stock render as well, which isn't much different, but I added a little extra metallic flake in Photoshop with some very minor lighting adjustments as well.

Good luck to everyone.

Holy mother of gosh, I love those colors! That paint material would be a welcome addition to the keyshot cloud hint hint

So beautiful! it must took you forever to render

[rembem]

WTF? That's looking AWESOME!

Awesome! How did you get the flake to appear so large? Mine looks good in the real-time window at first but really evens itself out while I wait for other materials to resolve.

Nice ! I like the subtle texture on the red bottle plastic.

Very nice, Jon!
Slightly insane though that you modeled the liquid in SOLIDWORKS. But it does look great.

Wow! Those colors are awesome! That is very impressive that you modeled all of it in SolidWorks.

I will definitely have to get it in there before the competition is over!

I'm not sure how dependent the Metal Flake Size is in reference to the model scale, but I'm sure you can always crank it up. I can tell you for this, the metal flake size is at a 2 and the metal flake visibility is at 1. Hope I could help.

Thanks guys, it definitely was a 'lofty' endeavor...if you catch my drift! I think it could be better, but SW is what I'm most comfortable with.

I'm with Dries on this one... SW? lol. Fantastic job, man.
