3D Modeling and Rendering Services

There's been quite a bit of interest in my 3D renders so I thought I would centralize all the information in one place. Due to limited time and availability I can only work on one set at a time.

Elektronika by thesiscamper (WIP)

[livingspeedbump]

done work for me. insanely good renders! I will be a paying customer for every real set I ever make 

[njbair]

Ditto! You can see in the OP the awesome work he did for me. Super prompt and courteous, a pleasure to work with. Worth every penny!

I don't doubt that his renders are a huge part of the reason my Alps keycaps tipped MOQ so quickly. If you want more evidence that photorealistic mockups sell keycaps, take a look at Danger Zone.

[SpAmRaY]

These are really cool but realistically with a community group buy where money isn't being made how/why would someone spend so much?

I mean sure its only $0.50/set if you sell 100 sets but other than massdrop or PMK where money is made/free caps are given to organizer this doesn't seem like something where the cost could be justified.

I'm sure this is not for everybody, but like I said there's been some interest and some people have contacted me for renders. I started the thread so there's a central hub where people who do want to get my services can discuss it and get some info.

It's going to be a value call for each GB leader. In my case, Alps are already a hard sell so I wanted something that anyone could look at and truly visualize owning the keys and putting them on their own board. SVG mockups are nice, but they don't communicate nearly as much.

I already mentioned Danger Zone. I saw that IC for a long time, and thought, "oh, that's nice." But when I saw the Photoshop composites on Massdrop when the buy went live, I truly fell in love with the set. Even GMK Triumph Adler benefited a lot from the fact that there was an existing board to photograph. Regardless of how you feel about the actual keycaps, it's plain as day that it was a success from a sales point of view.

I get what you're saying about costs, but even a traditional, community-run GB doesn't run at a zero balance. There's always some rounding happening to help cover incidentals. The honest GB leaders just put that back into the set in the form of extras or whatever. Again, speaking for my case, I fronted the money for the renders because I knew they would help seal the deal, and although nobody can know what would have happened had I not posted the renders, I have no doubt that they helped sell sets.

Absolutely agree. When I was designing Jukebox I even contacted a few people that had made 3D renders on other forums specifically for renders and most charged upwards of $200+. Even then i strongly considered it but by the time I had someone nailed down to do it, the GB was already over. I think this is an exceptional value, and will absolutely be paying for these renders for future sets.

I think it is very good for a person to respect their talents (especially when they also do them professionally) and to charge for their talents. These renders are art in my eyes.

Agreed. Although I think Spam was not so much disrespecting/questioning the value of rendering services, but rather questioning their economics related to a nonprofit group buy.

Can't wait to see more renders! These renders actually encouraged me more to get a set i.e. Carbon tho I believe you are not the one who rendered that. Also, I cannot wait for your "Troubled Minds" set to be in GB stage, i'll be your first customer for sure.

best keycaps render ive ever seen. im in love with the trouble mind at the first sight because the render look so real.
i dont have to imagine it so hard, when the render already tell it.

I was thinking of the pristine virtual mock-ups as a "more human than human" take on plastic fantastic keycaps. The renderings themselves are in tune with the subject on many levels. As a representation at the concept stage both are approaching reality.

Just points of discussion, as others have stated, this is artwork afterall.

We really need to get working together on my Cassette DSA (or whatever profile) with your Elektronika crossover.  And once I get some more cleaned up I need to hit you up about Manly Unicorn.

Looking great

I just wanted to point out that Cherry caps go straight down tho, not sure if you already changed that.
From the side your renders have kind of a flat wall near the bottom of the caps which is more like an HHKB cap.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I probably used the wrong reference images.

Cannot say enough good things about thesiscamper's renders.  They look fantastic, he works quickly, and he has fantastic customer service.

[CPTBadAss]

Just wanted to drop in and say that I'm really loving the renders that thesisscamper has been making. They've definitely made GBs a lot better. It's way easier to see what a set would look like on my desk and board now .

[thesiscamper]

Thank you guys, I'll try to keep on improving.

Congratulations your renders are great!

Which software do you use for modelling and which one for rendering?
I'm an industrial designer and i've been doing renderings for years too, don't you think they are a bit overpriced?

[thesiscamper]

I'd rather people ignore what I offer because it's too expensive, than regret taking on a job that I feel isn't worth my time and effort. I also didn't pull a figure out of my ass, I consulted some designers what they think is fair.

Those are so good that it's tough to tell that it's even a render.

Thanks nubb, I'm having fun with it, what color do you want for that case with GMK Skeletor?

That's a tough one for me.  Halverson's favorite from my goofing around was pink, but I loved magenta and then green.  Maybe those ghetto rigged mockups will give you some inspiration.  If you don't want to think, pink or magenta.

Absolutely beautiful renders. The SA and CMY ones are just perfect.

Haha, I was testing existing GMK colors for Troubled Minds, I'm still not sure what to do for round 2

When and where this set's groupbuy would be lanched?
It seems there is no IC and any other information about this set.
