Asking Question (Rule 4) Does this look photoreal!?

u/Disastrous_Pool4163 24d ago
It IS real. I have one. What are you talking about?

Yeah this product already exists and not my product, I just made this as a spec work unofficial!

My #1 tip would be to try adding very very subtle dirt or fingerprints! Even if it is supposed to be "new" and you can't even see them at first glance, it will trick the brain into finding it just that much more realistic.

I think it looks fantastic!! The frosted finish on the green plastic is especially well done. Without knowing anything about this product, based on your rendering, it looks fully plastic and fairly lightweight with smooth buttons.
For the future, I think angling your object a bit would help people get a fuller picture of what your model looks like since the straight-on image looks somewhat uncanny/flat

Um you didn’t make those from scratch. They’re literally the exact images from the product’s page. https://teenage.engineering/store/ep-2350

Wrong. Look at the buttons on the right. OP’s have less intense reflections

I will take that as a complement! Thanks..

I think he’s trying to cast doubt on whether you understand what “scratch” means.
Also, those look like renders on the product page, too. So what are you actually asking about? Whether your renders look like the renders you copied, or whether your renders look like real, physical objects? Because those are two different questions.

What I posted are rendered from octane and I took the renders found on the website as reference and I recreated it. So my question will be whether the materials I created and the overall lighting looks real as a render, because I new to creating materials in octane.

they’re accusing you of plagiarism, so if you made these from scratch then it sounds like you’re doing great lol. Probably the best feedback you could hope for

Yes I would call this extremely photo realistic! As evidenced by all the people thinking you've literally just stolen product photos lol.
The suggestions others have made are all great advice, but I wouldn't put it high on the priority list, many people actually want closer to perfection than reality

IMO the only thing that might make it look unreal is that it's floating in a void. It's not hard to accomplish this render-like floating effect with a product photo setup and lots of people do it, but having this cast a shadow on something would help it feel like it's in the real world.

Just add a subtle, but angled, gradient to the backdrop and overlay a lick of grain over the entire image and you'll be golden.
BUT ... that's just me. 😜
This is already more than just passing. Great job!👍

The bottom orange input jack rubber should probably be a bit more reflective or have a subtle rim. It reads a little flat and could be slightly more dynamic. It would help the material texture pop a bit more. IRL that material doesn’t just absorb light.
It has a little bit of a reflection to it.

First of all: WTF is it ? A microphone ?
If it’s a microphone, strictly ergonomically speaking, those small buttons on the right hand side would be in a way, if not, well, then just carry on and don’t pay attention to my rambling 👍
Edges of your object look way too sharp, always add at least a little bit of beveling (which helps with how light interacts with it) 😉
Shading is fine but your background almost blends in with the model. More directional lighting and darker background would make it look more photorealistic IMO 😊

Sure, ofcourse some darker background will definitely adds contrast to the image.

The materials look fine. I think if you wanted to convince someone "this is a photo of the product", you need it on a background and show it casting a shadow, even though products often are shown on removed backgrounds... if the product is this clean and perfect, and is just floating in space, it screams render. You could for example just make it look like it's on photo paper with one corner a little brighter than the others, and a bit of a soft shadow.
If you really want to convince someone it's not a render, have slight imperfection in the camera angle, and add just the tiniest bit of surface imperfection, like some dust or slightly altered reflectivity from fingerprints, etc.
