heyy guys, 10000 days is a great album from Tool which I recommend to Rock/Metal lovers listen to it!
the album is not that old and was released in 2006 but I'd like to create a vintage look of it which is completely different from the original one.
hope you like it  :)

Very cool, Hossein. Tool is a great band, and, being a drummer myself, I especially like Danny Carey. Have you checked out those overlay textures from poliigon.com? They're great (as well as the entire collection), and I think some smudges/fingerprints on the outside CD cover would really push this image. The crack in the plastic is a nice detail.

Cheers,
Eric

Really really cool man ! As Eric said, one or two fingerprints on the cover would really bump this up.

thank you Eric , I'm glad you liked it!
Good choice ,Tool really rocks their music and art is really something special. I've checked poliigon found some awesome textures but I dont know why when I used to make that sweat and fingerprints look on the cover the rendering time slows down way too much like I couldnt even rotate the camera!  :D
thats a bit weird cuz I did render heavier stuff on my pc before.anyways, I used keyshot's fingerprints without any problem and here we are ...
also I used a bit of DOF. thanks for the advise , I'm happy with the results!
cheers  :)

thanks nico , I really appreciate it! I have attached the result , let me know what you think! :)

Yes, definitely better! Personally, I would dirty it up even more in addition to the fingerprints. And...not to nit pick, but I would increase the scale of the fingerprints by approximately 1.75x to more closely match the relative scale of the CD case :)

Cheers,
Eric

Yeah, much better. In addition to what Eric said, you lost a reflection on the lower part of the CD and i'm not sure why. The environment does not seem to have changed.

Damn right, I didnt notice that myself! That's abit weird cuz i didnt change any environment's settings but I'm thinking that's because of enabling DOF, the point of focus is on the center of the CD! But I have to make sure of that, thanks for reminding me that nico! :)

Hossein Alfideh

Here we go, scaled the fingerprints with a bit of dust but I didnt want to lose the album cover look and the odd thing is I lost the reflection of the cd even I didnt change any of environment or materials setting!
Still I like the result! :)

Very nice !!! really like this. For me background is taking center stage over the case. Change background so the case becomes center of interest.
Thanks for sharing.

Maybe a subtle vignette helps to regain focus on the cover.

CDs might as well as be vintage nowadays! Looks cool man. Vignette would help it pop off the background a little.

This looks cool, Hossein! Not a tool fan myself, but I do like this image :)

Might really help the overall contrast of the image to have a nice sharp reflection on the album cover using the half pin feature ;) Nice colors!

I like this render Hossein, very cool :)
