Hello,

so much fun using MoI/modo...

a friend of mine takes sparkplugs, modify them and sell them as keyring-item (www.sparkkey.de ... i did logo and webdesign, too:-)).
Just for fun and my old Z1000 project i build a sparkplug... and modify it like a sparkkey.

MoI/modo makes it possible to do such a nice thing in 1-2 hours...

thanks again and again for MoI and its easy workflow...

best regards

I didn't see any taper-seat plugs ;-)



Nice work!

Hello Nick,

thats right! a good eye:-)

the european/japanese cars/motorcycles have mostly no taper-seats plugs...
for my old 1974 pontiac... i need taper-seats too:-)

best regards

Thank you Michael :-)

but thats just slightly modified "modo standard materials" and the porcelain is pure standard.

here´s another rendering,

As mentioned, the materials are great. It's just a spark plug, but you've made it look fantastic.

Cheers

Stunning. This is one of the fantastic things about the 3D world and rendering - one can make most anything into a work of art if they have the skill. A spark plug, a bearing, or even a bolt, ...

Your renders appear to have a depth of field. Is that done during rendering or post rendering with an image editor?

Hello and thank you for the comment,

the DOF (depth of field) was done during rendering, in the last rendered one i use a depth map in photoshop to make the DOF even stronger... and a bit cleaner (less noise)

best regards

tijai

Hello,

maybe boring now:-)

but i made another rendering (DOF in Photoshop)

may i ask you how you modeled the text?

Hello!

i modeled the text like this... (no big secret:-))

extrude the text, boolean intersect with a slightly bigger circle than the sparkplug body...

thats all:-)

if the stretching of the letters is to big... because of the round body, i rotate the extruded letters a bit by hand...
and do than a boolean intersect...

after that i do a boolean differenz with a circle with the same radius as the sparkplugbody...


is this clear? (my english is a bit lousy:-)) hope the images shows it better:-)








best regards,

tijai
