NAD C 715 DAB receiver (Cycles)

Artwork Finished Projects
1

My second real project that I’ve ever finished in blender.
Again I learned a lot and got some really great help from this community, and I would have been able to complete this one without the help. So thanks a bunch to all those who helped out in my WIP thread :slight_smile:

Modeling time: Waaay too long!
Material creation time: Too long again, but I’m getting better.
Render: In Cycles, 2000 passes in about 30 mins for #1 and #3, and about 14 mins for #2.
GFX cards: GTX 480 and a GTX570.

The speakers in the last one are the result of my first project, and I though I would unite them in one render.

I hope you like the renders, and please dont hold back with c&c.

Have a nice day all :slight_smile:

And here is a reference image for you guys. This one is the non-DAB version though, so the text layout is a bit different and a logo is missing, but other than that is should be the same as the DAB version that I’ve made:

For those interested in how it was made, here is the link to the WIP: http://www.blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?292166-NAD-C-715-DAB-receiver

Its the Xbox One :wink: Looks really good! Your reference image also looks like a 3D render.

Thanks Peter18, I’m getting closer to my goal that is to reach “photo realism” in a render.
The reference is a photo though, but I see what you mean. Think it’s the quality of the picture combined with some bad PP.

Looks great. Just like all electronics :slight_smile: .
Could you share all so the render stettings for those pictures ??

Because i’m interested how fast it was on your render, and how much samples you used.

Thanks Olivierus :slight_smile:
I rendered it with 2000 samples, with a tile size of 512x512. It took about 30 mins on my GTX480 and GTX570. Is that what you mean by render settings?

Looks great :smiley: ! I got nothing bad to say :slight_smile:

This is really great work. You could add a little bevel on the edges of the front panel, it’ll make it look even better. But don’t expect too much improvement - your pictures looks too good for that :wink:

Thanks a lot to both of you, I’m glad that you liked it :slight_smile:

pawelsomogyi: Yes I could have done that to catch some reflections, but the real thing dont have that so I diddnt do it because I wanted my model to be as close to the real thing as possible.

Thanks Ant1 :slight_smile:
I think I feel a bit the same way as you, because I really liked the work you showed in your render.
