Transparent display stands

(1/4) > >>

lynn22:
In the Scanline version of my museum I had the objects displayed on cubes and tubes to keep them off the ground.
However, I found the rooms too cluttered. Now, in ART, I have transparent display stands for each object.

What do you think, crits welcome.

floyd86:
I like the refraction on those stands. I can't compare to what the first look like, but these look very nice. Maybe use a bit lower int value (your using dielectic right?).

lynn22:
Floyd, the first version, in Scanline, had just plain cubes and tubes (as below).

I'm not using dielectric but class : transparent, IOR : 1.21

hihosilver:
I do find the newer version much more attractive.
I think you should look into modeling the curtains though, they don't look realistic at all currently.

Though honestly the way your museum is set up makes it look like the inside of a home.  I think it has to do with the window/curtain style and door style.

ENSONIQ5:
Nice images lynn22.  I would agree with Hiho's comment regarding the curtains, modelling them would look better, especially across the top.  Extruding a bendy spline curve in the Y direction would do the trick.

My only other crit regards the glass stands.  From a manufacturing point of view, I am not sure such sharp angles would be possible, unless the stands were fabricated from 3 separate pieces of glass.  I would expect the stands to be made from a single piece, heated and bent in two places to form the stand, and as such I would expect the corners to be smoother, a more gentle curve with a larger radius.  It is a minor crit, but as you have clearly put considerable thought into the materials and construction of the museum I figured it was a valid one.  Really nice work, I particularly like the door.  Modelled or bump mapped?
