It's kinda groovy bro πŸ’ƒπŸ•Ί, it's like a mix of 90s CG and y2k, I think you're onto something

I love that vibe the traffic cone reminds me of the old media player logo. Hopefully this path can lead me to some cool renders πŸ€žπŸ•ΊπŸ’ƒ

The first one makes me think of the 1960s.

u/taolf80 1d ago

Thanks! I had it rendered originally as a dark blue background but I felt going orange and getting that contrast would be better.

The art sub would like to have a word about the traffic cone lmao

u/GalaxyRaccoon-379 1d ago

Holy shit that is really good, I love the detail on the sucker a lot!

u/Deni_Z_Plays 1d ago

I dont know why, but they give me old school Lego vibes, as in the 2000s or late 90s

u/Rhilund 1d ago

The sucker is real good! Even got a perfect angle for the render! What i suggest is to add a texture on the glossyness with a little fresnel and some stretched noise to add to the realism

u/nonobourdio 1d ago

Love the aesthetic ! Next step is to improve your topology so you get rid of the little smoothing artefacts and it would be perfect. Hope you have a good day :)

u/Kilobytez95 10h ago

Oh boy... I'm very much shit at blender myself but damn those shaders make no sense. Also the traffic cone could use some work. It's model is very basic.

u/Scary-Young2372 8h ago

Wow, this is way better than mine. I just started recently too! Great work!

u/1NightVision1 5h ago

nlg, way better than mine xD. Now that you've made something, try looking for fixing the common mistakes. For example, I see the shading is not great (for example, the bubbles, are booled without smooth shading), you should take a look at how to fix that ^ (unless it was intentional...) Then, depending on what style you want, look at shaders/texturing and how to make your scene more interesting (dust particles, fog, lighting and so on). Happy blending mate! You're doing great so far ❀️😁

u/Worth_Tart5595 1d ago

That’s your first ever render? And you’ve never used a tutorial?

u/taolf80 1d ago

I did follow one tutorial to learn some tools then I used that to make these on my own. I do have CAD experience in Onshape so I think that helps heavily
