I am a 20 year old engineering student and i have been using solidwork for the past 2 years. I recently started using PhotoWorks to render 3D solid models i made in solidworks and am looking for feedback on my work, both good and bad. ANY INPUT IS APPRICIATED!!!

Thanks,

    Please post your sketches with you renderings. If you desinged your concepts solely within solid works don't do that! Draw first always! Also look into learning a surface modeling program such as Rino or Alias. Solid modeling is too clunky for a lot of ID work it is great for engineering not ID. Solid modeling works well enough for modernist aesthetic but is piss poor for most contemporary form generation. Optical coating chamber looks great though it is not ID. The rims work alright. I'm not too fond of the putters the shot with grass is way out of perspective with the grass background rendering. All putters seem to have an unresolved transition between the shaft and the putter also the putters are a bit blocky though I suppose they are always like that. The Shaft on the putters look a bit narrow. On the first Gyro turn down the specular highlight! it looks like it is coated with a thick coating of plastic or varnish it obscures the detail of your gimals. ID is all sketching all the time with computer modeling as a final step. Computer modeling is not the complete design process. When used as such it shows. Please check this out:

    PS being an engineer pays more, much more
    best of luck
