render of server nodes

[ignicapillus]

Hey!
this is my first commercial project with Corona (still Alpha 7), and to be honest one of my first works with Corona in general.
I was amazed by the render speed. Images were about 12 MP; after the first hour they were almost usable, and noise-free in 2 hours, with medium hardware. In the second pic you see a 1:1 detail.
Setup was straighforward too (I come from Vray). And almost no post-production needed!

The image is part of a set for NodeWeaver.
I hope you enjoy it!

Wow! Really impressive. Care to share a bit about how you make your powder-coated metal look so good?

I would also definitely love to hear how you made the aluminium metal, and how exactly did you achieve those tiny flakes?

I'm happy you enjoyed it!

Attached you find the setup of powder-coated metal; there's a simple metal bump texture set on intensity 0.1

Aluminium is even simpler, medium grey on color slot, white reflections at 0.15, IOR at 40, reflection glossiness at 0.2-0.3... no maps!

So simple, yet so realistic. Thanks for sharing your materials!
