Very nice and clean. That would make a good image for an ad. One thing I feel it needs is a mild reflection. Gotta love them shinny surfaces. ^_^

I really wish I got into Maya a long time ago, cause now I hardly have the patience to learn it on my own. And I am NOT going to school just to learn 3D goodness. Awesome stuff though!

The surface actually has some reflectiveness... but it isn't up super high on the system or controllers since it has a mat finish. The label on the other hand has a more intense glos, though you cant see it in this rendering. I dont want to add to much though... or else it would just look unrealistic.

There are 3 different material maps there, Diffused Map (Basic image with colors and whatnot), a Bump Map (bumpyness on the surface of the object without additional polygons), and a Specular Map (determines the reflectiveness of the surface).

I thought it was real o.o

The only thing that catches my eye is the shadow from the system, it's kinda jagged. But other then that, wow.

Any of you guys hear of Blender? It's a free open source 3D program: http://www.blender.org/

I actually fixed the shadow in a later Render so its much softer.... but i cant seem to re-upload my image without deleting it >->

And i have heard of blender... never tried it or anything though so i cant say how it is.

Anyway, that's incredibly realistic. great work! I actually convinced myself it's real haha.
