you are intrested?

Always :)

[arminh]

@d-healey ok so i render them morning! :)

[ustk]

@arminh Great job man! I have to learn that one of these days... :)

[d.healey]

What program do you use?

[Dan Korneff]

The renders look great! I've gone completely 3D as well.

[Christoph Hart]

yeah, the material of the middle one looks really neat. How did you make these "fat fingerprints" (weird translation, but you might get the point).

Mate, Great Work On Gui
What Program Do You Use?

[ulrik]

@Natanr @dustbro , great work! Looking really nice!
What programs are you both using?

[arminh]

Ok guys, here's link https://www.mediafire.com/file/td4okx3moua80hd/FREE_KNOB_SET.zip/file

300x300, 128 frames.

@Christoph-Hart i made it in blander, this effect you can get by adding texture to roughnes in node editor.

[Dan Korneff]

@ulrik I'm using Blender here.

@dustbro Hmm... Seems to be so complete, I'm a bit afraid of the learning curve even if I won't go 3D animation :)

[Dalart]

Thanks these look nice.

[d.healey]

@ustk Blender is famous for having a horrible learning curve, but once you get the hang of it's unintuitiveness you'll be fine.

[ustk]

@d-healey Thanks for this one ;) I just wached a guy making a knob, I almost hanged myself

[Dan Korneff]

It took me over 2 years to learn in my free time, but I can complete a full design in a few days now.
Maybe I could make a tutorial on some basics.

[d.healey]

@dustbro Yes please!

[ulrik]

@dustbro Yes please do, it would be appreciated!

back in the day - when I used to do 3d modelling - I used a bunch of different stuff - the easiest to get your head around for casual use was TrueSpace. It's windows only but its free these days...

[orange]

I used Blender, 3Ds Max and other stuff for 3D design. In my exprerience, Blender is really cool, alternatively I definately suggest Cinema 4D for ease of use. Yeah it's not free but I think one of the best for 3d GUI design. Very easy and great results.

Also for better render performance Octane render is GREAT. It is a render plugin that you can use in Blender and Cinema 4D too.

[Dan Korneff]

@orange I agree. Cinema 4D is killer. Probably the best out there... but Blender is free
Haven't upgraded to octane render engine yet. Is it an improvement in photorealism, or just render speed?
