Hello guys!

All my works here: http://forums.overclockers.ru/viewto...p?f=5&t=314469

**Metric** · 08-26-2009, 02:52 AM

Hey QQHeaD, nice to see a new face on the forums. Great job with the renders, that second one looks oddly familiar though - please don't take offense, but it would be nice to have some credit if you decide to 'copy/reference' my renders, thanks

**QQHeaD** · 08-26-2009, 02:57 AM

Metric I was impressed your chipset block and made a stab similar)). Sorry for my English.

**Boogerlad** · 08-26-2009, 06:48 PM

newest render! Copper is broken for some unknown reason though.

**Boogerlad** · 08-26-2009, 07:14 PM

Hey metric, what copper material are you using?

I'm just using the supplied Copper IOR. Just run the Material's Wizard and select Complex IOR for the type and browse to the already supplied Copper material. You can then set roughness and bumpmaps to your preference.

**Boogerlad** · 08-26-2009, 09:22 PM

Thanks metric! I'll be sure to have better renders soon. I'm a disgrace to the gallery. Can you post the .mxm? I've been playing with the bump and roughness values for hours and can't get it right. I want the brushed copper in you nb wb please?

I'm not quite sure what to do with the hdri's. Where do I put them in maxwell studio?

**Koen** · 08-28-2009, 12:20 PM

emir - thanks

By the way - could you show us some exploded views of your waterblocks? They're hiding some interesting stuff

**emir** · 08-29-2009, 10:43 AM

Metric & Boogerlad thank you very much

Koen in a few days i can

My first try on Maxwell. It took 1.5 hours on my cheesy PC. I need a good POM material and some lightening lessons.

**Boogerlad** · 08-29-2009, 11:38 AM

tried to use this pom material? http://mxmgallery.maxwellrender.com/...search=polymer Really nice render. tbh, you have far better lighting and copper materials then me. What copper material did you choose? I'm still waiting for metric to post a link to the mxm of his brushed copper material.

**emir** · 08-30-2009, 05:03 AM

It's the copper that Metric share in the topic. But i need his POM material too

I've used the one that you gave the link, but still didn't like the result. Maybe the problems are scene and the lights...

**bentleya** · 08-31-2009, 10:55 AM

Been out the game for a little while, which seems ages. But i have some concept items non rendered (straight sketch up) as i don't have much free time. I would like your comments on the design An renders to follow once i make some more progress on them.

**LedHed** · 08-31-2009, 12:16 PM

It's not liquid but it's a heat sink

, it was my final in Graphic Comm.

used SolidWorks 08

Crawling heat sink?

It's a Zalman FC-ZV9

Back to basics..

Sketchup - kerkythea - Ray trace 3xAA - 22 minutes render time @ 3.6ghz using six of eight threads.

Some nice works there guys, keep up with the good job

Here's something I've had in my mind for quite some time. Standard d5/mcp655 (and every other pump for computers) has got this cheap, toyish look which I don't like, so I decided to make some sort of industrial-bling mod for this pump

Unfortunately I have no time to render it correctly so here are just some snapshots straight from my cad software:

**Boogerlad** · 09-02-2009, 01:48 PM

What cool font do you guys use to add after the render?

**Boogerlad** · 09-03-2009, 08:14 AM

Excuse the double post, but...
My latest render! I finally fixed the lighting, materials and blurriness issues. I'd say that it's perfect now. (maybe except for the brushed copper. Too brushed imo)

No, internal AutoCad enginge.

I've yet to find any compatible external rendering software.

**Metric** · 09-03-2009, 11:10 PM

Boogerlad: Great to see you fixed your blurriness issue. Can't wait to see the final render

Laine: Ah, thanks for the clarification. If you need something rendered, just send me a PM.

Curved backdrop with MultilLight-enabled studio lighting.

**Boogerlad** · 09-04-2009, 02:23 PM

Testing out the new white delrin material

**Boogerlad** · 09-05-2009, 07:36 PM

that's not from mxm gallery is it? Looks really nice in your renders. That floor you got there is really nice.

**bf2gamer** · 09-06-2009, 02:14 PM

Wow, this is all so amazing!!

I've been looking at this thread for a couple of days and now I'm inspired. I just downloaded Maxwell and Sketchup 7.

Heres my first try: (this stuff is so hard!)

Go easy! It's so hard! haha.

I would really appreciate some tips and can anyone guide me to some tutorials?

I would like to learn how to use HDR lighting and soften shadows.

**EDIT**

Okay, here's the same stuff but different materials and camera angle. I also changed the lighting to a white dome light... whatever that is haha.
