Radiator shots

DriesV · October 15, 2014, 01:16:34 AM

Just a simple shot of a radiator on a green background.

Straight KeyShot screenshot from a VR scene. White is such a tough balancing act.

I just finished rendering VRs of our complete product range. That's a total of 65 x 288 frames in one week on 32 cores...
We're trying to get them all published on the website by the end of the year. I'm figuring out a way to show them here too...

Nice Dries... although the rough metal on the top one needs some love and they would look more realistic if the green background was part of an actual environment so there was some colour bleed onto the radiators

Looking good. That green background is so loud ! You would be better with a white on white. Or do what J suggest get that green color in the rads.

I gave this thing a little more love...
I agree about the screamy background.

Would you guys be interested in having a play with this scene?
I'd love to see how you guys would push this...

A color variation.

Glad to see more radiator. Been too long Dries!

Sure, throw it up. Would love to have a play.

Yes Dries, would love to have a play... and you do know what I'm going to do with it don't you ?

Love the second render by the way, lovely mottled effect metal

Attached is a PDF with links to all VRs.
Let me know what you think.

Btw, please do post your own images here if you take these scenes for a spin!
I'd love to see your take on this.

Maybe try my old favorite of a ground plane with two surfaces. Underside a chrome (colored if you wish) and the top surface a frosted glass. It's fun also to add a wavy, cast iron or rippled bump to the glass. Crazy stuff happens!

Dries,
Thanks for sharing.
Here is my attempt. I'm sure the materials I used are too dirty for a product shot. I will do a clean version.
Thanks for sharing.

Hey Tim, which file did you use for that render ?

Thanks J

@Tim:

Hey, nice IES action going on.

In fact, I think the copper pipes are too clean.

@John:

That has to be one of the 'Standard(4T)' scenes.

Hi Dries,
How's this ?

Looks great, Tim! That's what copper pipes look like when they've been installed for a while.

Loving the DOF too.
