Audio amplifier (Silo + Lightwave 9.5 beta)

[LoneGunman]

Hello, ya all

Here is something I modeled couple of months back in Silo 1.4...

Textured and rendered in Lightwave 9.5 (beta) few days ago. I also did a little animation as well which can be viewed HERE.

Thanks for checking it out. Cheers

Why do you need to use a not regular movie file compression format?
All this chasing around to get plugins for something new but "so what" is very annoying!

[LoneGunman]

DivX has been around for some time Brian (since 2000). I'm surprised that you have problem with it. What compression format would you suggest ?

[Pete Exxtreme]

it's a very nice technical modeling (and i love that ). The only thing that should be improved IMO are the chrome parts of the plugs, because as your backdrop is grey i assume, they do not like chrome but metallic grey, reflecting.... the background
In the contrary the black bumpy part (sides) is perfect as the front panel. The animation is cool and i can read it without any D/L of codec for myself (i use JetAudio basic which is free)

[Tartiflette]

Woaw, great technical modeling !
The details are very well done, congratulations Sir !

As for the plugs, Pete is right and i think it has to do with the fact you probably still have more than 0% diffuse for that material which leads to this unrealistic chrome...
You can also set the reflection options to "raytrace+spherical map" and use either the "chrome" or "fractal_reflections" images found in the LightWave Content which would be great to simulate the reflections of chrome parts.

Great model - I'm starting to learn this hard surface SDS stuff so I can now tell how good it is

I have the latest version of DivX--and it still wont play? (It asks for me to find a codec
that I cant locate?)

Oddd???

Looks good LG, the red looked a little saturated though in the movie.

bwtr - go download the VLC player, it can play just about anything and is free.

Interesting.
Doing an "View Here" I get the problem BUT--
if I download/save the file it opens /plays ok?
I have the VLC player also thanks Grendel.

Nice piece of work LG.
