27 May 2006Still working on it (but only minor details), thereforethe first shot:
http://holysoft.de/data/In%20Progress/H ... Render.jpg
Rendered with scanline renderer using a sphere with dozens of lights (196, I believe)

Edit: Last Render: http://holysoft.de/data/In%20Progress/H ... Render.jpg
No postwork. And after troub mentioned it in an icq talk: Its not the hd i posted some time before, its a new product, with the same design, but other sizes and other cables. Its designed for laptops.
Edit: Here is the finished packagedesign: -
27 May 2006Ahh so its an external Hdd, very cool!
They are nice renderings, but I don't get those strange black triangles on the base in the second image. -

27 May 2006I removed those, it was a normal problem, because of that you dont see it on the other side and i didnt notice it.
Next time there will be some package design also. What can I do to improve the rendering? -
ALi 608 posts28 May 2006What renderer you have used? is it Vray?
I would recommend you to use Vray and Vray materials. Also adding some glossy reflection on green and black materials may improve the result. -
28 May 2006As I have written above its scanline. The problem is i want to animate the whole stuff. 2400 Frames, and Scanline is simply quicker than vray. But i will try a Vray solution. Ath the moment i am working with blend texture to combine various reflections. Also added some modeling parts.

28 May 2006Thanks for your comments!

@ Ali: I will try Vray definetly, but first it has to be working with scanline. Its no use using a good renderer and then not to know how to handle it. Scanline will be at the moment the solution until i can handle Vray better. If you may help setting a correct Light Setup, I am really thanful.
@ Tyson: This 196 Lights method is my prefered way of faking GI. I take a sphere using meshselection to locate on each vertic a Light aiming directly to one point. Its very fast rendering (1 Minute for each Frame and) and gives nice results.
I will try another lighting though. You could help me regarding the reflection stuff. I will send you the file to your email, if you have time you can cope with it
If I use HDRI, the problem is that the large flat area causes ugly reflections, I I use raytrace it isnt really cool. I want to increase quality, so I could use some tpps and hints.
Also a very large problem area: You see the circle spot in the middle of it? Woowowwhhahahhahah. It gives me the creeps. How do I handle it that the reflections are moving really fine? I will post a video of it, so you can see the harddrive and give more crtics for my improvement.
Here the promised Video:

29 May 2006the clip is blank. all i see is blackness

29 May 2006WOW, that video looks almost real!
I think you've done a great job mate. -
29 May 2006Dont missunderstand it cam, its a real video of the hd, and i want you to give hints to create reflections like it is in the video

30 May 2006Ok Thank guys I used this method for the shell to increase its reflectic character... BUT the rendertimes are really enormous compared to the scanline rendering. And it the moment it doesn?t look better.
Ok Therefore: Where the hell can i get the best tutorials to learn the basics of vray on my weekend
@ Ali: Thanks for your great advise!
For the light solution: I am not satisfied with. I am using a Key, Fill and HEadlight as learned in cameraschool, but it hasnt such nice softshadows and the white background like my geospherelightingsuperiormovetacticstolenfromoneofthetutorialsihavereadacross theinternet!
Beat that! Or please give me a good solution to increase lighting. I will read Lighting and Rendering before i go to bed today... -

01 Jun 2006We present: The acutal packagedesign for the new hard drive:
Hope you like it! -
troubadour 207 posts01 Jun 2006looking good, david...
if its not printed yet i would suggest to work on the DOF of that little pic, where the usb plug is still in its place...
this way it looks a bit overdone or it could be a print-error, it seems to be just washed out...
other than that, i would buy it
