Cover art making of

Original content. 3d-modeling in 3dstudio and V-Ray

Here is a small behind the scenes post about a cover image I made. This project was originally made for my friend @mume to be used in his synthesizer preset library.

Final render of the project

Simple steps of the modeling process
Basically I used a screenshot of the virtual synthesizer as a basis. On top of this image it was easy to extrude all the details.

Composition and camera placements
Yellow thingy on the backround is a dummy for loading hdri image to act as background.

Overview of the whole scene in 3dstudio max
In the top right quarter you can see "material editor". It is used to specify material feel. I made bitmaps for all areas I wanted to be reflective in the final render.

Thanks for reading!
