Harry Winston - Opus 13

@sleepingbeagle

but when i compare this with the renderings of Panerai, and they are far away from a real-looking shader, i have to tell you, the leather is the only thing that looks nice to me.

please dont get me wrong. even simply stainless steel will brake light and this i miss here.

Thanks for the leather, we are working hard on this point (maybe not hard enough on the rest !!! )

Yes but this has so much more than just realism - It is really exciting to watch and beautifully story boarded imo.

A simplification of the shaders here is good if it aids clarity, which with the hundreds of components all moving around here, is essential surely.

I think that the quest for hyper realism is Contentious for a number of reasons, not least because it is so easily achievable, especially with small objects. Adding artifacts to images in post to make em look like photos (old crappy photos even) is extremely passe’ as are the heavily contrived interiors we have all become so familiar with. More often than not these images become appealing only to other CG artists and the content and purpose of the piece becomes secondary.

In my view we should broaden our horizons when discussing work, and not just focus on how real it looks.

sorry for the rant but I think this work is beautiful, and far more interesting than a ‘photo’ of a watch.

Thanks, I agree, but Mario74 is right, some shaders need a lot of rework and lighting too.
Always try to be better

Lighting was the first problem, we don’t have enough time to make it better. We know that.

@Dariusz_Makowski_Dadal

i agree with you!

tell me deflix, you would spend +10k euros for this as you see on picture?

high quality needs high quality! the reason why the pic looks flat doesnt matter now.

200K and you’ll be close to the real price.

Ok, but I.m happy with our work and our client too. Next time I hope you’ll enjoy, I’ll make more effort on light and shaders

Best regards…
