Big Wheel 3D Rendering
« on: July 07, 2017, 11:34:27 PM »
Hey all,  I just finished this 3D model for a personal project of mine. It is a still image to add to my portfolio. It was modeled, lit, shaded and textured in The Foundry's Modo with some additional composting and finishing done in Adobe After Effects.

Getting good, clear references of the current Big Wheel set was a bit of a challenge. I am not 100% confident I got all of the details exactly right but, I got as close as I could with what I could find. Any >constructive< feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Probably THE most realistic 3D rendering of ANYTHING that I've ever seen

I have to say, that is the slickest, most photo-realistic virtual version of the set I've ever seen. 

Well done, and more, please! :)

I'll third here. Awesome job! :-)

I really like the detail on the numbers and the sides of the wheel, plus the border lights. And just out of curiosity, how long did it take you to make this?

This is a really good rendering. I am even trying to consider other factors like the real TPiR set getting a little dusty/faded over time, but even with that considered, this is great.

Holy crap, this is pretty amazing.

Well done!

Only nitpick I have is that the numbers in the scoreboard aren't quite right, but as I said, nitpick. :)

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

Thanks!  It took about three weeks total to do. And it pretty much maxed out the computing power I have. The final image took 9 hours to render.

Yeah, that was the one thing I least confident of. I couldn't find any good references for that so, I went with a project someone had done to create their own scoreboard, this:

Thank you.  Speaking of lighting, I would LOVE a lighting diagram from the set so that I could match the better.

This is the best TPIR art I've ever seen. Outstanding work.

I'm seeing something very, very minor with the numbers on the front of the wheel; they look a bit out of proportion. Compare to the picture below, and how tight the dollar is to the edges of the space. You can also see more space in the photo between the wheel and the side walls, so I think it might be that the walls are right but the wheel itself is a bit wide.

That's also me nitpicking, though, because this is amazing.

Yeah, I think you are right. That would actually be a fairly easy fix. Next round!

I agree -- very impressive.

Since you're receptive to minor insignificant nitpicks: The green spaces on the wheel use a matte paint, so they wouldn't reflect the lights like the black spaces do.

And this might be more trouble than it's worth, but the rows of side-by-side lights wrap around the sides of the wheel (or underneath, as the case may be). It's tough to find a good picture of it, but you can see it at http://esq.h-cdn.co/assets/cm/15/05/54cb57978df4b_-_esq-price-is-right-camera-071210-lg.jpg . If I remember correctly, it's just three rows of lights on each side.

Jaw dropping sensational work!  Truly sensational!  I even tried to reach out and grab a handle to spin it!  Masterful!

Do you have other samples of work you have done, or is this your first go at it?
