New piece of work. I was watching several PCB and processors macro shots and i felt inspired to create this. Modeled in Rhinoceros. Image is 3k so it may be worthy to take a look at full res. Lots of details get lost on the preview. Cheers !

Nice details in that light! Is that a texture applied to an emissive material or something?

That's a great image, really like how you have created what looks like camera shake combined with the DOF. Well done Nico, thats a definite portfolio shot!

Hi Magnus. Yes, the light coming out the PCB has two textures to add details. One for the opacity and another for the intensity, besides a gradient color texture to break the uniformity. I'm attaching the mat graph of the floor material. Cheers and thanks !

Ah, great stuff Nicolas! Thanks for sharing

Wow! This is great! I checked the full-res and you were right!

Here's a little experiment with translucent material and a model from threedscans.com. Nothing fancy, but i never used it before. HDRI is all black and it is lit with an area plane for the front illumination and an IES light for the back rim light. This one rendered for about 10 hours (i fell asleep). Pure black and smokey version attached. Cheers !

I started the render and went to bed to watch the Gnomon School conference yesterday and when i woke up he was still there, rendering

Totally forgot about it.

The result is really good Nico

Great stuff, Nico! Especially like the processor board macro shot

Cheers,

I tackled this model over the weekend without knowing if i was going to finish it or not. I'm really happy with the results, so i'm uploading a bunch of images regarding the process. Screenshots and mat graph of the PCB (Looks really insane but it's just a bunch of labels put together over one material) are uploaded along with the final renders, just look at the names of the files to know which is which.

I'm going to do a couple more angles at this project so i'll update with more images. Hope you like it !
