Did a quick modeling exercise with the new Realize Shape capability in NX, by modeling the apple earpods.

Rendered in KeyShot.
Great model and realistic render man...
I use nx 9 too, but i think i didn't understand what is the new realize shape capability???

Wow !  I picked that model for the speed contest.  I had no idea it was still being worked on.  And it is great to see that it did get someone inspired afterall  ;) ;D

That being said .. I understand the pointers Esben makes, however .. personaly, I still like the first shot better.  Somehow I kinda like the effect of knowing "where the light comes from".  And I don't know why, but even tho it hasn't changed, the contrast of the lighting hitting the robot itself seems a lot harsher in the smoke-shots.  Weird cuz if you look in detail, it's exactly the same.  It's just the feeling I get when lookin.

In the end I think the smoke can work, but perhaps the lighting should/can be changed ?

Thanks slater. I'm not sure if you've heard about it or not, but Realize Shape(also called subdivision modeling) is a relatively new methodology for concept freeform modeling in NX. Have a look at this video to get an impression of it's usage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suwGy-An85o

Just proves that there is a lot of personal preferences involved. Maybe it could work if the light was a bit toned down. Personally, I like the smoke better than the light, but I see your point with the light source.  Either way, in both cases, I think maybe the smoke/light effect should be toned down. Typically freshman in photoshop not to realize the "less is more"-concept I guess ;)

Speaking of inspiration. I was very inspired by your submarine shot in a separate speed render contest. (https://www.keyshot.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=9506.0;attach=24588;image)

Can't decide which of the two I like the most though.

It's a translucent material with curvature color map and a cracked-looking spec/bump box map.

Procedurals then - looking good, The teeth need a little more translucency to them so the tips become more milky.

Looks great, especially as it is just procedural materials. I think Martin is right, but also think the skull itself could do with some translucency.

Alright, I tried to give the teeth and skull a more translucent look regarding the improvement suggestions. Haven't been able to separate the geometry, so I work with different passes. Breakdown is attached if anyone is interested.

Yes, that's the one I recon! Disappointingly, this fella has better teeth than me! Could you 'yellow' up his teeth a little to make me feel better?
