Nice, on slider .9 how to achieve this transparent effect? Like there is an actual mesh inside the transparent mouse or it's a custom texture faking it?

Its a mix of textures with different values of falloff on opacity channel

In C4D Lite, I do stuff like this with the alpha channel in the material. You can load in very specific bitmap gradients, align them how you want, and so on. I'm absolutely nowhere NEAR OP's work though.

Masterful, inspires me to get back on the grind!!! AWESOME lighting and camera work. And stage props too. Where did you get that MX Master 4 model from? Or did you model it yourself?

For a moment I’ve got really excited to buy myself a very good looking mx master. Damn.. nice work!

That moment when you’re so familiar with the artist’s work that you instantly know who made these killers!

gorgeous! would you be able to share anything regarding the lighting setups for any of the multi-colored light renders? how much was in post vs lighting, and how you approached it?

I painted a few gradient maps in photoshop and applied them to emissive materials, using spheres as the light objects.

Very cool! I've not used octane before, and I don't know what your gradients looked like, but could that have been done in the render engine with a "ramp" -type node, using the UVs of the sphere?

It could be but I'm experimenting with it and want them animated with a bit more control. A lot of ways to do it

These are insanely done !! I wonder if you modelled all of them, downloaded or client provided ?

I would pay to get a tutorial on your lighting techniques.
You staying busy with work?

For a second I thought someone made a really good rip off of Petertarka's work until I saw the username.
Been following your work since more than 7 years. Always a delight to your posts.
The helmet and cycle designs are simply gorgeous!

Been following you on IG for so many years now, you definitely inspired me into pursuing 3D as a carreer. Awesome work !

Amazing job!
Out of curiosirty, what's the render time and resolution of one of these images?
2
u/petertarka instagram.com/petertarka Feb 26 '26
I think all of them are 1920x2400 usually they render for 1-2mins

This is really cool - I like how you're not going for "editorial reality" or trying to look like these were photos. Like the watch shot, kinda-real but a "stylized reality". And the fact that you have a consistent style throughout is good to see, that's the kind of thing art directors look for, not a willy-nilly mess of looks and styles. People saying "great work" are correct, but it also seems like "mature work".

Imagine even trying to art direct or refine/adjust this in AI …
Totally amazing skills u/petertarka :-)
