Rendering materials...

Misfit Shine comes in an amazing array of colors, so I thought I'd look at rendering a few to see how they'd come out. The Shine unit is modeled in Rhino, from the one I own, and rendered in VRay. The green was the hardest of the colors to match, and I still think it needs a little tweaking. Post process in Photoshop.

Spent a couple hours today practicing material renderings in Photoshop. I'm calling this the Sony Ericsson MC1 cell phone. Among the many other features I'm sure it would have, this particular phone can also be used as a three button mouse. The surface glass can be depressed at the bottom corners and center, where the slight, embossed circle in the glass in positioned. How would is work ergonomically? Not sure, but that's a good reason to make a 3D model and order a 3D print over the next week. Stay tuned for a Flash demo of the features and maybe some other screen caps. And, don't forget to check out a Farmer's Market tomorrow, as it's Sunday. Cheers!

iPhone 5G case...

Took the graphic from the bike pump and tweaked it a little for an iPhone case. This case is for the future 5G, assuming it's the same overall shape as the 4GS. =) Working on a couple other versions as well.

Happy Wednesday!

Another pump...

This time I thought I'd a little graphic quality to it. I think the graphic would look good on a bike frame, too. All done in Photoshop and Illustrator (nothing is a photograph).

Bike pump...

Spent a part of the day doing some material render practice. Got to keep those Photoshop/Illustrator skills nice and sharp.

Espresso machine...

Done in Photoshop and Illustrator using a photo as reference.
