3D-renders for a RE

[Nirude]

Awesome! Have you shown Kuassa this?

Yes they know, I did a big bunch of images for them last summer. And I sent this today to them.

Kuassa should definitely update their Amplifikation Bundle image

[eusti]

I quickly scrolled up through the thread and I'm not sure you've told which softwares you're using...?

Up on this page, Skullture asked I use 3dsmax

Anyway Eusti & Pinkbox, please be a bit more specific, what are angled knobs?

Here's an attempt to explain it better in a pic... To try with words: When the knobs (or any shape) goes from one axis to the other (basically the material makes a 90 degree angle) there is (in the real world) hardly ever a sharp 90 degree angle there... The material has a certain thickness and usually for the user's sake the angles have been rounded off...

Back to the subject, Thor..

Looking great. Just noticed one thing, the rotary controls of the Phase Mod Osc are off. On Thor they are the same type as the Analog Osc but in your renderings they are the same as the controls on the rest of the oscillators.

Seems you are correct. I will change the knobs.

And make them smoother

These renders are hot by the way!

I noticed another thing, the last three wave shapes on the multi-osc don't match up with those on thor. For the rest they look amazing.

Yo Nirude these look amazing man !!!!!!!!!!!
Sign up for the SDK man...Learn the 3d software and make some elements free/paid.

I would buy those units individually for the right price!

[DLDTech]

I would buy those units individually for the right price!

I'd buy them at the wrong price!

Amazing work as always.

comments on the multi osc waveforms? in here you can see them better.

[dioxide]

This is making me crave a hardware Thor. Must resist.

[tt_lab]

this is looking very good, did you try to do the bump map for the text positive instead of negative? The bump of the faceplate is a bit too much for me. And there is a strange light effect (or something I can't quite understand) where the knobs find the the faceplate.
The anisotropic metal of the knobs is a bit dark too what from my perspective it gave it a more plastic feeling.
Don't want to be an ass just trying to do constructive critizism.

[ebop]

Nirude mate, these components look awesome. You are the business!

[Nirude]

Answers to tt_lab:
-the texts and everything are splines, not textures yet.
-the part where the knob finds the faceplate; the knob-model has an outer line or something. I think I will take it away, it confuses me too..
-anisotropic is just a texture, nothing else yet.

It is good to get critizism and notify me if there is something weird / wrong. I´ll fix and the model will come better.

[Massimo]

Super nice job Nirude!

As for the knobs...at the moment they look like they are part of the front panel and not separate objects...and the highlight effect make them look like they are extruded without any gap.
Maybe it is just enough to push them out a little bit...and with GI or occlusion shadow they will look more natural.

I got a friend with a 3d printer.. would love to make keychain hangers out of these

[EnochLight]

OMFG dude... @ Nirude - seriously man - these Thor renders look fantastic - nice work man!!!!

[Nirude]

Smart renders-the AO pass would make a nice skin as well.

Nice skin as well? Could you clarify this a bit..
These renders are straight out from 3dsmax, no PS yet. I´ll add the AO when everything is done.

About the units. I made them. They are all different now, for example the Analog Filter is kinda like, faceplate and a circuit-board.
Kinda like an eurorack-modular-unit. I also wanted to make the Formant Filter look like an etch a sketch-device.
Etc etc. Pics coming some day, I assume I will be very busy with our house for the next coming weeks.

[pedrocaetanos]

lé units, filters and oscs.

Really great!
But one improvement I can see is the knobs depth: they are too "flat", they should stick out more. They look as if they can't be hold, no room for the fingers to hold.

[Nirude]

Well yes, I was thinking if I would change the green in to army camouflage
And change some other stuff too.
I think this will change from the regular Thor into a vamped Thor

[apoc123]

It has begun.

I know its like 4 or 5 years later but.... Did you ever finish those insanely cool thor renders????
