Misc - Lynx's Jewellery Showcase

[Lynx121]

seeing as i plan on working on this for awhile, i thought createing a new thread for each piece was un-needed so here is a thread where everything too do with Jewellery will go

i worked on this for awhile, its a pocket watch, currently no chain, i need to try and get the glass on the front too stand out more and become more prominent and also tone down the gold, other than that i thought the render worked quite well

comments and critique welcome

haha! classic, thanks mate, i changed the glass a little, and i think it looks a bit better now

[Omnipotent]

indeed def improvement

[Omnipotent]

tho it could use some more AA on the gold.. or something, and perhaps some saturation, darker floor and a hint of grain like so...



sorry if i ripped your image and played with it.. just figured you wouldnt mind mate.

[Lynx121]

i dont mind at all, infact thats given me quite a lot to think about, that looks great! thanks mate

cool

also if i was the one making it i woud wrap a simple UV then go in and paint some weathering like scratces dirt etc ie try to make it look used maybe thats something for you to try aswell?..

[Omnipotent]

also id say go for one with a lid.. adds something to it and you could allwas engrave the lid and stick a pic inside also dials for setting the time or winding it up.. anything that helps sell it you know..

[Lynx121]

perhaps i could try that, you'd be surprised to know, i modelled this entirely from my own mind and looked at no references, but im sure i could add a lid with some engravings perhaps

its something to exxercise the noggin with atleast
and naw not surpised its a pretty basic shape until you get into hinges cogs nd clock mechanics.. boy thats were it gets bonkers..

but try a lid some engravings and maybe some wethering.. cant hurt right?

just look at this stuff... bonkers...



also a good example of seeing heavy use/wethering, not too hard to do with some simple texturing and heavy use of modo's occlusion system..

That's not bonkers, THIS is bonkers! lol

Look forward to seeing this one develop

Cheers!

The watch looks good so far!

Regarding the glass, if you're doing this in Lightwave are you using the dielectric node in the node editor for the glass? I recently learned about this from a William Vaughn video and it works wonders with glass materials, once you figure out the absorption setting.

thank you! im doing this in modo unfortuneatly, however thank you anyway, i may possibly try a render in lightwave if i have some spare time
