not so much about the symmetry, more to do with the quality of the image, i would fumble with the details. also its a bit "old" for my taste

dare i say the coffee would taste rusty

xD doesn't look like rusting metals

matsta · Post by **matsta** » Mon Oct 22, 2007 8:41 am

no what i meant was just aged technology

prefer slick tech

Hey guys

latest addition to the thread

cant remember what it is soi just just made it another pneumatic doo dad. once agained modelled in MoI out of the festo catalogue.

this is my final festo model, iwill now be getting started on my espresso machine which i will keep you up to date with

enjoy

Very nice, models!

An espresso machine would be cool!

BTW, It's a pneumatic cylinder with a rod posision sensor

Just a thought..
what about a robotic welding arm.
You could do meshlight sparks... would look cool

hehe thanks for the correction arne. that catalogue is to large to find the thing u just saw not 5 minutes before

should really save the pages.

@onosendai good idea the sparks would look awesome lol, still going to finish up the espresso machine first. correction, after my long slumber im going to start the espresso machine ^_^

thanks for the comments guys

Update

I know i said i was done with technical but here is a quick update of the previous render. left for 8 hours at 6000 spp (previous one rendered while i played bioshock ^_^ hence the massive decrease in spp

) also corrected the discription, thanks arne

Woaw !
I don't know what these "pneumatic drives" are for, but your renders are very cool !

Hi Matsta, I think I'd post this here since it's your live technical modeling thread. Still early WIP.
I've added a weight map to the base to give it a slightly worn feel. There are scratches on the base metal plate, as in the ref photo, but not on the other metals. I still need to tweak my SSS mats. Mainly higher gain, I guess, but it's hard not to hit that stop when the mats turn black.
"Millimeterarbeit" as they say over here.

Nice work, gentlemen. As a career mechanical CAD designer, I never thot anyone would actually want to model pneumatic cylinders just for fun <sotto voce> especially when you can just download most of them as 3D models already from places like www.partspec.com or mcmaster.com! </sotto voce> but, to each his own, I guess!

Nice work turning the technical into art!

Kram1032 · Post by **Kram1032** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 2:14 am

that looks great O.o

@mzungu: so maybe you can download them but then where would the sense of satisfaction be in doing that? I don't use any models made by others...only my own.

I am currently very much enjoying the challenge of modeling pneumatic cylinders using nothing but hand wound polys (no booleans or other such tools) and the bevel center script in blender

Real men model with polys

MoI is for pussies

...or some might say I'm just masochistic
