[PBR] Desktop part

Dragonar

Hi everyone .:)

It's been a long time since I don't post something.:poly142:

So I continue a "old project". It's a part of my desktop with PBR render.

Here a wip with old albelo :


Here the last update :



All comments and advices is welcoming :poly142:

[edit] I changed specular of subwoofer, the emissive of lamp and the lighting. Don't hesitate to tell me what do you think

Tobbo

I would add more geometry so that it better matches the high poly better. Also watch your bevel widths, your edges on the top of the subwoofer are not that sharp in your reference. Bevel them out and round them out.

Your edges around the speaker lip need to be more beveled as well.

Just go back and really try and nail the different bevels on all of the edges and add more geometry to your cylinder pieces. It will take the piece much further.

Dragonar

@Tobbo I agree , I will back later on this point.

Here a little update for HP of the lamp. I will make backing soon.

Dragonar

Hi , I finished the backing of all part. Here a render. I will make the texture soon.

Of course any comments or opinions are welcome

Dragonar

Dragonar

Hi polycounter .

I post my last update. It's finish for me but if you have any suggestion, idea to improve it.

Feel free :poly142:

almighty_gir : You can see the texture sheet on the seconde picture. If you want to see more or/and wireframe don't hesite to ask me.

Hey polycounter,

no comment about my work ? it's perfect ? :poly124::)

Here a render with AO + Normal + Wire.

of course any comment or advices is welcoming

almighty_gir

so my first criticism would be in the form of a single word:

floaters.

the hole at the front and the speaker on the side could both be made of floating geometry that would mean your speaker box would be made of at most, 20 triangles. same goes for the panel on the back, with the knobs.

the speaker mesh could be heavily optimized as well, it's physically impossible to see the concave in the centre from a mesh point of view, it could just be normalmapped with no problem at all.

from a texture point of view, your reflective values are innacurate for PBR, but that will come with practice.

Dragonar

Hi @almighty_gir

How did I not see that ?! It's obvious! :poly127::poly127::poly127:

Thank you for the advice I'm going to change that. maybe another comment ?:)

Dragonar

Hi , here a update of wireframe. Tell me what do you thing and don't hesitate if you are any idea to improve it.

Thanks you.

almighty_gir

here's how i would have handled the speaker:

Dragonar

Ok , here you have a update of wireframe + render tell me what do you think.

@almighty_gir : Just thanks men , your advices is really useful !! And your support is really appreciated

Dragonar

Here a new picture with FX.

Maybe too mutch ? Tell me what do u think

Mik2121

Now the effect is so strong that your eyes just go to it, and the subwoofer is so dark you can barely see the details.

Either that or my monitor is way too dark :P

Tobbo

It's looking better. I would completely leave the FX out though.

The AO on the white unit (lamp?)...it's a bit much. Especially if its upturned like that, it would not have that much shadow. Just light the scene better since the subwoofer is a bit dark. The mesh on the speaker looks really nice. And no lens flares please. At least don't over do it.

Dragonar

Hey thanks you for all advices. Here a update with some change.

- New spec for Subwopfer
- New Emissive for the lamp ( if some on have a idea to create a"real emissive lamp" )
- New lighting
- 4 render :
- With all FX
- Without lens flares ( for @garriola83 )
- Without FX
- A new render AO with new wireframe.

Tell me what do u think and don't hesitate to vote for your best render.
And of course if you have any idea to improve it.

Dragonar

No body vote for my render . They are so boring and bad ?

Dragonar

To make this object more interesting to watch and add more "story" , I added somes stickers.

What do u think ?

Skip all FX, it just takes over and looks cheap. No background graphics either, takes focus from your actual models.

Make a quick table texture that you can place you props on. Something low key. Pick a sky from marmoset that's an inside environment and then play with your DOF to blur it out a bit. Even that might be to busy for your presentation so you may want to try to play around with levels and stuff in photoshop for the background only. Maybe tone it down and make it a bit darker.

It's all about putting your props in good light here, you want focus on them and nothing else.
