Hey Everyone, it's picture time again!
Don't really have anything as fancy as the last time, not that much time for rendering.
As a result of the pictures last week and the replies they got over in the 3DS Max challenge i did a little experimenting with the Daylight system and the Hair&Fur modifier in 3DS Max.
So this is more of a study picture for Max, but i did use a model of one of our machines that i still need to make a proper product render of.
It's not finished and i didn't apply all the textures yet, so it doesn't look that good, my main focus was on the light and grass.
Hope to see more great projects people are working on.
And again, if you have suggestions for a theme please post it here or send me a PM.
Have a great weekend!

Hi everyone,
Looking nice already @-niels-! That hair/ fur modifier works well for grass, I used it for the Easter edition we did. Also nice environment map!
Here's mine for this week, it's a render off a arm I'm working on right now. I'm still trying to get materials to look more used. Didn't have time to apply rust maps to give it that bit more realistic look.
Have a great weekend!
Hi All,
Here is my contribution for this week. It is a detail picture, experimenting in Max with camera, lighting and presentation.
Have a great weekend!
Regards,
Judith
@Frank-Oosterwaal: those look like massive gears, wouldn't want to get my finger stuck in there.
Just wondering, since you like your fluid addon, shouldn't there be some grease on those gears as well for realism?
@Judith.Hageman: Looks nice, some sort of transporting mechanism?
Maybe a little over-exposed, but otherwise looking good. did you use an IBL for this or did you set up all the lights yourself?

Playing with my new worker model, to explain difference between working height, and platform height.
It's a simple rendering made in Inventor drawing environment
Have a nice week end

Cool, could you share the model of that iMike? I could use that myself if a valve is unreachable..
My contribution is a little bit different this time 🙂 I re published the DIN 28129 part into the content center as it was not modeled correct.. Just raytracing nothing special..
@-niels-: Yes, it spreads the waste of snack carrot bits evenly over a container. When the first container is full, the screw conveyor switches to the other container.
It is a little over-exposed for a natural look, but I wanted to look bright and shiny so I can live with it as an experiment. Didn't use IBL, set up all the lights myself, which is quite a challenge! In photo studio's they use light boxes to get a nice diffuse light, but I can't find something like that in mental ray Max. I think I have seen it with V-ray rendering, but never used that render style.
Love your grass. Used it once to create grass as well, funny stuff.
@Frank-Oosterwaal: fluid addon? Which one?
@ThomasB44: nice picture! Great worker model!!! We build many skids, like Jef_E I could use the model as well to show unreachable places....
Rendered in Inventor Studio and nothing else. Happy Friday!
Sorry @Judith.Hageman and @Jef_E, but I've spend a really long long time to repair the geometry, find the pivot point of each joint, set a correct appearance, and finally constrain the assembly for an easy use.
And it is still not perfect...
At the origin, it is the "working man" I have download on Grabcab.

@-niels-, I didn't even think about using Realflow for grease! I wonder if that'll work, but I'll give it a go for sure!!!
@Judith.Hageman, I'ts called Realflow. A very powerfull program to simulate fluids. It's not for calculations, only for graphics. Because allot of processes inside our loading arms are difficult to explain verbally but very easy explained by showing how it works my company is kind enough to buy the program and let me play with it. Check it out here if you like.
Too bad... better luck next time I hope 😄
I never have cool renders to contribute, but today I have this. Happy Friday everybody!

1000 kudos for that.. That's funny (and I guess I deserved it)..

Sorry for the late post. Been battling the flu and have had very little computer time this last week.
Here's a small 44KV substation that I've been working on.
