This is getting to be too much for me.

That is really good work!

<nit-picking> You used just one imagemap for the whole card? There is
something wrong at the side of the Rj-connector and that bel-chip.
</nit-pick> Doesn't really matter.

If someone would have asked me, I would have said, this is not possible.

Looks great, some blurred reflection for the metal stuff and a
corresponding surrounding would be good of course.  BTW, how much memory
did the radiosity calculation consume?

With the level of work that went into this, I'm not going to
nick pick. Looks realistic enough to me. Very convincing.

yes, its one image map laid over the whole card and all components, I tried
texturing the sides of some or the larger items separately, but it didn't
look right, so some vertical banding was the lesser of 2 evils..

the rad settings wooped over 120MB, and crippled my pc for pretty much an
entire weekend (p3 ~800 - 256mb)

You can increase the photorealism of this image by adding just a bit
of post-processing focal blur (so that the sharpest area is at the middle
of the card and the closest and farthest parts to the camera get a bit
blurred).
  If you have the time, try it. I'm sure it will look excellent.

Well done Rick !     I like this.


Here's some Nit-Picking from me too:

I suppose that the crystal in the "back" is 
meant to be of type HC49/4H (industry standard 
low profile package).

If so I think that it's modelled a little bit odd.
It's top should be "rounded off".

To show you others what I mean, I've enclosed an 
image of a HC49/4H crystal.


BTW:

I once did a POV-rendering of a PCB for a electronic 
design I did in my old job (triple PowerPC cpu card).

Back then I used some of the output files (gerber 
files) from the PCB layout program to build the 
POV-model.

IIRC I converted the different files for the top-
layer to black and white bmp-files. I made several 
height fields from these. Then I scaled these 
height fields extremely "upwards" and made thin 
"slices" of each.

I textured each of them to mimic the different 
layers in a real PCB. (copper for the tracks, 
transparent green for the solder stop film and 
white for the silk screen.) Finally I stacked them 
on top of each other upon a thin light-green box.

At the bottom of my POV-gallery page at Crosswinds 
you can see a cropped version of one of the images
that I rendered this way. 

(There is at least two severe errors that would have
surfaced if the PCB really had been produced the way
this image shows. Can anyone spot these ?)

I propped it up with a bent paper clip on my flatbed scanner, and scanned it
twice with the paper clip in different places, then used psp to get rid of
the paper clip (by using a cut out from the second scan), and do a slight
rotation to get it all perfectly straight. did a bit of contrast
enchancement & gamma correction while i was there

Would you care to back that up with facts?  (The reason I'm asking is
that we have 300 Netware servers and about 60 NT machines with these
babies)

I have zoomed the picture a little bit and saw, it´s a 905B-TX, not a
905C-TX. But we have used both cards in many servers and workstations, and
had no problems.
And now it´s time to make a new card, without scanning an original ... Would
this be possible with this incredible real-look?

That's pretty good. I actually had to examine it to make sure it wasn't a
photo (and I'm pretty good at spotting cg stuff).
