    Default Solid Model + Unique Render Styles = Sweetness

    It's not 100% perfect, but close enough for what I use it for...
    I started with a wheel model done in Inventor and then exported to various other programs.

    Top right = Impression - I was going for a concept style rendering... bar napkin if you will

    Bottom right = AutoCAD - Concept being hashed into technical data

    Bottom left = Inventor - Illustration rendering to show how CAD cleaned the hand drawing into a nice graphic

    Top left = Imagestudio - HDRI rendering for photorealism (though I'm unhappy with the final product, it still looks good enough to me to use as my logo)


    (click for 1000x1000 jpg)

    I use this as my weekend business logo (I'm a trackside engineer for SCCA, NASA, etc groups in the southeast)

    I love the concept. Great work. I think you're right on the photo realistic corner. Looks like you're either having some blending issues or wash out. I can't quite tell from that book.
    Over all I love it.

    Good job! I'd even leave the logo as is (or maybe that's what you meant) instead of replacing it fully with the hdri.

    Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm unsure if I should keep trying to redo the HDRI section or not. Even with the perspective fit as closely as possible, it still comes out kind of strangely. I could potentially render in Inventor (mental ray), but there aren't good controls for anti-aliasing (you have three options... off, med, high).


    For what I use it for, it works well. When it gets thrown onto a business card (super tiny) the image detail is kinda lost anyway.


    The hardest part was exporting the AutoCAD data as an image of the same scale as the rest of this thing. The un-scaled version is 5000x5000 and it was originally pulled from a screenshot. I eventually exported as a DXF and pulled it into Adobe Illustrator and converted it to a GIF (vector) and then scaled it as needed.

    Again, thanks for the comments!
