Liquid Cooling Render Gallery

sweet stuff emir :)

can we see the underside or is she still flat?

Thanks dude, nope it's not flat, i'll take a render of the underside and show. Besides i'll change the design.

A universal mobo block that can be used with the thickest compression fittings.

I'm a decent modeler, but a novice renderer. These are modeled in Sketchup and rendered with Twilight (a derivative of Kerkythea). I'm using the plain default sky and sun settings for lighting and either MLT or BPT. Seems to work ok, IMO.

These are part of a larger project I'm working on so more to come... :)

emir: Those compression fittings look nice -any plans on adding a bump map to them?
pbmax: Great to see a new face in this thread. Awesome job with the modeling :up:

Okay, that wooden surface is just creepy, that´s how realistic it looks :eek:

nothing too special, just a slot load drive. the exterior dimensions are correct but some of the the smaller details were eye-balled from photos...

i'm happy with the how the bump map looks, but the metal material isn't quite right yet...

You guys are too talented for me, but reading this thread did inspire me to finally see if I could do anything with Sketchup (I know this thread is about getting life like renders, but you gotta start somewhere). Wanted to say thanks to Mick for posting the Gentle Typhoon Fans, and to kinghong1970 for the MCR 320. I turned the 320 into a 420 (not very elegantly, but it works for what I need), and painted the GT fans red. So - here's the sketchup I did trying to model the lower compartment in the Black Pearl build I'm doing.

Thanks for the inspiration - you guys have shown what's possible. I hope you'll forgive my intrusion into your thread ... lurking mode back on ...

@ pbmax - are those Bitspower compression fittings for Sketchup available anywhere online yet? Nice job.

Metric; i want to bump map but don't know how to do it :(

More quick renders of HD5870 block with some minor changes.

They are based off of Feser's compression fittings. They are not "perfect" copies but pretty close. I'll post the models soon...

Here's just one more render of them. The fittings are actually using a perfect mirror material with some fine bump maps to show the machining groves.

Also using this HDR for lighting: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/...d7e5f5aa_o.jpg

Why not, how can i do it in Solidworks?


Was bored today, made some renders with my new system. But couldn't decide which one looks better; matte or shiny?

Matte looks more real in my eyes. Beautiful renders both though!:up:

This is not a watercooling part, but its a render none the less!

Its a wooden carrying frame for a fruit crusher I worked on a while back, anybody like Cider? Ooharrr

This render only took approx 3 minutes to complete.

Thanks woffen!

Hey guys, thanks to Mudgey my compression fittings are more realistic. I've used his drawing as reference and edited mine. Thanks again mate!
