Nice job on the espresso machine. I too look forward to seeing the rendered version.

Nice Phr0stByte, I'll have a double shot espresso with two sugars thanks :)

Cheers

Cool model!

Very cool!

Here is a render from fresh out of Octane. There is some faceting here and there - next time I know not to be quite so conservative with the poly count when exporting. I could always re-export this, but I am too lazy to render again. I'll chalk it up to a learning experience for rendering the next model :)

That looks great! Very photo-realistic and a wonderful point of view.

Is this based on a real-world model, or something you designed?

I drew and rendered a Francis Francis at one time. It too was a classy model, like the one you have presented.

Thanks, Don. Yes, this model is based on the Cafe Retro by Ariete. I changed it up a little for simplicity and time's sake though - time is money! I was looking for a companion for one of my other models - this antique coffee grinder and a Delta-Q mug (the mug was modeled in MoI, but rendered in mental ray) I did in Maya and mental ray some time back:
