All Vray and AFX…

Incrediable work! Congratulations!
Can I pick my jaw up off the floor now. 
Absolutely deserved! Congrats and very nice work!
Applause ! .. inspiring well done.
Very impressive, Bravo!
very nice indeed!
congrats to all your team, very good work !
Stunning. What was used for the actual modelling? The detail is superb. Seems hard to believe it was done with standard Max tools, did you use Rhino perhaps?
lol, how do u mean? u can model very well with max lol
Congrats to you and your team, very very well done, I love the introduction!
PS: t’as pas des prix sur les montres? lol 
Very well done!
I guess one of the most difficult things would be to understand how this complicated watch works in order to animate and built it.
I have done an animated watch, but i just randomly placed and rotated the gears because i wasn’t able to understand it.
You can watch it here:

I just mean there’s some pretty nice complex beveled curved edges in there, in my experience pretty tricky though not impossible to achieve in Max. Don’t use it myself but from what I hear Rhino is apparently better for this type of work (product viz).
Rhino is perfect for a model like that, you could do it in half the time it would take in max. (assuming the bevels are modeled and not edge texes - if it was made with sharp edges they’d take the same amount of time)
Incredible work on the ani - took a bit too long to get to the watches gimmick for my likling, but I loved the whole rotating face section in the second half.
Congrats Stilgarna!
Congrats. Great work. I like your showreal…the music reminds me of an American 70’s cop type programme.
Did you not get cad models for this watch…you must have had some good reference if not..
wow! amazing indeed!! congratulations!! I just love all the “animated lines” and how you could make a text with them, could someone point me to any tutorial on how this is done?
Thanks again and congratulations, it actually made me want to buy one of those watches 
!
That is incredible work, WOW!
Hello Guys,
Thanks a lot !!!
We’ve got all CAD file (Solidworks) all imported with PowerTranslator Pro.
Then we’ve got a long job remodeling model’s parts… We are using a few part directly from CAD…
The pen (introduction) is 100% in house for example… External view 90% remode, internal 60%…
All max 2008 and Vray 1.5 SP1
Best regards…
great work daft watch!
a tad too long is my only crit - although probably your brief.
how did you do the light beams - was it particle tracer?
First brief was 7 minutes long…
