Test render

A test render of one of the pieces of our animation. Took a few hours to complete.

that's the best render ive seen in this forum.

question:
1) did you use third party renderers?
2)lol, what is that?

Wow, you could pass that off for being real. Very nice job.

[Andrew Rudolph]

wow thats just awesome. It reminds me of the robots from the Bjork video for All is Full of Love...you can watch it on launch.com

Actually, not to be conceded or anything, but I am the animation team. I'm the only one on it. :)

As for what it is and what I used, it's supposed to be a industrial laser cutter, obviously they are much different in real life, but I want a simpler, more sleek look if you will. Tomorrow or so I'll show an animation of when it's working (I'm really lazy right now and I don't want to wait eight hours for it to render, that much refraction is very hard, even for my computer, to calculate quickly)

Third party renderer I used is Brazil r/s 1.0. The only feature I used on it was the global illumination, there are actually scripts out there that can do it, but I didn't want to load it in. The materials are all defaults with some obvious fiddling.

I thought it looked like a laser of some sort. It just didn't look like a realistic one. But other than that you did an excellent job my friend! :]
