Oil Pump

here it is, took about 4.5 hours of rendering, i actually ran out of virtual memory in the end, lol.

this one is dedicated to X Warrior for teaching me how to set up GI domes

nice job… I love the angle… not something you see everyday… 8)

highlights and shadows needed!

Nice, the carving is cool. Numbers would be nice, but 4.5 hours render time, phew!

i love it, except for the wierd texture ‘mess-up’ towards the bottom…

Cool, mate.

4.5 hours for Blender or Yafray?

Sonix.

its a blender GI dome render. i think ill do it again though, not at such a massive size, with a better ground texture, a spot lamp for better shadows and highlights, and i’ll UV map the rollers so they have numbers on them.

im thinking

G 0 1 0

$ 3 0 .0

for the rollers. i dont have a clue how much a gallon costed in the 1950’s or whatever, so what should i put?

Check this figure out. http://zebu.uoregon.edu/len/gasprice.gif

Something wrong with those figures. I remember paying 25 cents a gallon in Arizona when I was in high school in 1967.

It’s based on 1990 dollars.

Ah, thanks for explaining cree, besides I got to thinking maybe gas was more (old age memory) maybe it was .25 cents for a pack of cigerrets and 50 cents to a dollar for gas. Darn I didn’t realize my memory was going. Darn I didn’t realize my memory was going. :slight_smile:

And I forgot to comment on the picture GX monkey. Sorry. Nice scene. I like it. I think the rusty surface of the gas pump maybe should have a more varied surface. Almost looks like the whole thing is solid rust. And I think the top of the nozzle should be more silver instead of gold. Lots of nice details and the overall pic is good. Also I just noticed the date on the poster on the front. I thought at first it was something that was added later to an old gas pump. So since it is from 1950’s too, should be more torn, weathered and yellow with some rain spots etc. Keep it up, these are only suggestions and opions.
