Mastrena Espresso Machine

Its been a while since I've posted anything so I thought I would put up some images of one of my latest models. This is an espresso machine I've used in some of my renderings of Starbucks locations.
Let me know what you think.

nice model but I think instead of dosch HDRI, some studio light setup would do it more good than harm

Very nice modelling. Is this Max? Don't tell me the individual coffee beans are modelled!!!

If you watch carefully you'll notice a volume with a bean texture with few seperate beans on top. Wich work out nicely btw.

I also see noiseless glossies. What are your settings?

Thanks for the responses. It is indeed Max and some of the coffee beans are modeled. It didn't look quite right without modeling some of them. I used the scatter in Max to quickly place some beans on the surface of flat textured beans.

Also, it is a simple lighting set up lukx, just for quicker render to show off the model. I agree I would look a lot nicer with a nice studio light set up.

nils_p- Most of my textures with reflection have a simple vray map on them with glossy check at about 25 sub-d's or so.

Yummie Espresso. Just had mine

Maybe the brushed metal should be a bit more anisotropic. And a super fine bump might be good too. Gives that metal that special feeling.
