ECG Machine

The Klez

I need to create a heart rate monitor machine (ECG or whatever they are called) for a scene in a short movie. This is what I made so far:







What can I add to make it look more realistic? Also, I'm not happy with the textures, how could I improve them?

That screen is begging for an emissive texture. Also, the lighting setup in your render isn't helping the overall look. Materials could use some work, try paying more attention to real world surfaces.

Are you baking normal map details from a high poly?

It is very dark and like sushi said you have to get the emissive map going to really make it pop

I made the monitor's material emissive and I changed the light. I think I'll also add some cables to it.

much better but i think the object is a little to boring / plain. Add some more interest either in color or objects like wires or adjust the shape. Right now its very boxy where most pics show much more curves
