Rendering tips for OpenSCAD? #8
|
I'm very impressed by the quality of your render, nice translucent, light and shadow. I would appreciate it if you could provide information on the software or pipelines used to render an OpenSCAD model to achieve a result similar to yours. Thank you in advance.

There are probably lots of options, but it would start with individually rendering parts (or groups at least) in OpenSCAD and importing them into something else -- Blender in my case. I think I exported the keycaps as a single STL, the switches as another, and then separate STLs for each of: switch plates, column pieces, and row pieces, because while they're all the same material I needed them to have their own individual faces for the acrylic look. I can see if I can find my blend file tonight, my Blender experience was all pre-raytracing so I just fumbled through materials. You may have better luck there, or alternatively you may find a ready made glass shader. |
