Customization / Wallpaper / 3 Dimensional

I stayed up one night this week, and this is what i did to keep myself occupied.
Modeled and rendered in Cinema4D.

Also, did you cheat on the dial? It looks like the moon dial is part of the texture and not a 3D part, perhaps the hands need more depth too.

~jonnymorris Jul 20, 2006

As Mr Sunderland said, it needs some real-world dust, minute imperfections, tiny scratches in the chrome, that sort of thing. Another night perhaps?

~capnhack Jul 20, 2006

yea, this was a one night job with another half day tryin to sort out the reflections and lighting properly. id like to put it on a proper base too, not just the generic coloured background, so i will work on it some more. when it cools down a bit, my comp needs a rest for now

the moon dial is recessed, but because of all the reflecting going on under the glass and from the inner sides of the case its basically done away with any shadows. i might perhaps add a smaller lens over the top of it, and i was thinking about cutting a line through the dials and adding another light specifically for specular lighting on them.

It looks like the hole for the moon dial and clock hands have no thickness though, do they?

Yah, you need to use a few tricks to get the lighting right, it's never quite right if you just rely on one source.

~capnhack Jul 20, 2006

they do have depth. the moon dial is only a short way down and using area shadows meant that there wasnt enough contrast for it to be noticeable. the hands are also folded along their central line but their shader has no specular channel, so they look flat.

i cant remember how many lights are in this scene. 9 i think, 8 in an array and 1 to cast shadows.

~jonnymorris Jul 21, 2006

Maybe what I mean is thickness - regardless of what shader you use one should still be able to see thickness.

~capnhack Jul 21, 2006

hmm, i dunno about that. both things would be very thin anyway, but they do have a little depth. i spose i could double it without it looking too thick, but only on the watch face. the hands are pretty much the same thickness as they should be.
