Hi again,
Here's my enhanced phono plugs; probably the final version.. The plastic is
improved.. I added radiosity.. I think it will be overkill to strive for
greater realism, as render time just gets higher and higher.. :o/ Comments?
The metal could still shine better, with a better enviroment.. Currently
there is only the ground, and a sky_sphere with a grey gradient that points
toward the light_source.
Anyone wants the plug code?
Regards,
Hugo

How much did you pay for them?
Looks great, but you're right would look better with reflected
environment on the metal.
And now to the complicated things -> the cables :-)

Some of these plugs use a gold coating on the metal to improve connectivity,
and have splits (2 or 4) in the outer metal cylinder to allow improve
tension (and connectivity). Four-slot gold-plated plugs are the most common
in my neighbourhood.
Nice picture.

The "shield" is often important, but apart from that ... in most cases I
can't hear any difference, and I have trained ears.. I also can't measure
any difference in my sound editing software.

These are cheap, you know, those kinds are always in the package when you
buy something like ... a soundcard, a VHS recorder, a radio... But they're
not bad.
I have many kinds of plugs, but the expensive ones I'll only use with
speakers cords, or very long cords.

It's quiet easy with a spheresweep object, isn't it ?

I think he meant the realistic bendings will be complicated. I would use
cylinders rather than spheresweeps because they render *much* quicker.

The modeling is excellent by itself, but that is the best PoV plastic I have
seen yet. Any chance you'll post the material?

I really like it!
And i'm interested in the code too ;-)
best wishes,

Thanks! :o) I just posted the full code in p.b.s-f
Shay: You asked for the material.. It's included in the code, but please
note the pigment only fits this particular model because it simulates a
(very) subtle dirt and adds an extra kind of "roundness" ...
Apart from that: All edges on the model are rounded, as this resembles real
plastic.. One might think such details won't be visible at a distance, with
the use of anti alias.. But it is! Round edges create subtle specular
highlights.. This helps to see the shape at a distance, and improves the
look..
I still think the plastic could be fine-tuned even more, and would benefit
from blurred reflection..
Regards,
Hugo

Impressive textures and roundness such that they stuck out right from the
start i will look into the code asap... =] Interesting quilted background...
cant wait to see all the details... =]
