CPC sample and mock-up extensions (1 Viewer)

[Ray-Col]

I've done some solid model rendering for design work in the past but nothing like this, what software are you using?

This is done in Lightwave but the software doesn't matter much. There's a bunch of decent 3D-Software on the shelves and most of them are perfectly capable of results like this.

I'm sure it's incredibly time consuming, but as a chip design resource I'd be willing to pay a small amount to compensate for your time and think it's hugely valuable.

Now that I have all the ends tied together it's less time consuming than you'd think. Depending on weighted/unweighted/dayglo-combos the time to generate the textures and masks (8 per chip) ranges from 2 to 4 minutes for a single chip. Everything else is already there and just has to be copied to the working dir and I'm ready to render.

This project was not done with any kind of profit in mind. I will not charge PCF-members for a render (or, for that matter, accept payment). Ever.
But I'd like to reserve me the option to not render pictures when I feel getting exploited ('hey man, the previous 37 renders yesterday were quite good but can you change the red chip to black and do them again, please?') or have personal time constraints that interfere with requests.

Well that's a pretty impressive and generous thing for you to do, I'd hope nobody here would take advantage of your generosity.

If you don't get other takers I'd offer my mock ups for a render, especially as I'm doing a "tribute" set to my favorite chips and want to make sure the colors I've chosen do justice to the originals. I also have inlay artwork mocked up that I could provide.

Hm - do you have CPC color samples? My renders will not make them expendable when deciding on specific colors, there are too many variables in play when looking at colorful images on a monitor.
As soon as you are (near) settled with the colors, shoot me a PM and include the mockup, labels and other preferences according to my OP to get me to work.

Hi,

I am new to the game but I plan to get a set of custom clay chips from CPC. I am just wondering would it be possible for you to help me make a set of rendering? I am more than happy to compensate for your time, because I am so new to this (i still use those dice crappy plastic chips) it would be great to see how they look before I proceed with the order as they are so expensive already. I think I have the chip design nailed but need to work on the inlay design. Thank you.

Best Regards,
J

Post your designs in the Mock Up section to get some feedback/confirmation first maybe? I know the feedback I got from members was invaluable.

I did already.

Sure, but you should get closer to the finish line first, because I can't do render after render for all permutations on your way to the final design.
Lots of help and knowledge around here, I was blown how willing the experts are to offer their assistance and helpful insights. Don't rush, take your time with it and as you may have been told before - get samples.

Not going to happen. See post #31.

This will happen (more or less. My renders can't be like the actual chips, it's rather an approximation).
But not in this early stage of your design.
