Good day guys, this will be my first dedicated thread on nairaland where I post my finished works and works in progress, this is more of a tribute to the guys that inspire me here Nijabazaar and Reidkrugger and a host of others but this guys have shown me what is possible even in Nigeria.

I am not that knowledgeable to call myself a pro but I make sure to put in the work everyday with dedicated and project based learning.

I have to water down the quality of the images as nairaland has a restriction of file size in place

Here is another one with minimal lightning, lighting seems to be my biggest challenge at the moment.

I like product render for now because of how you can get really great close up of them and it'd still be perfect and I like commercials too.

Something I whipped up after a tutorial.

Cool...

Please start making mockups.
There's a large market for it especially among designers.

Oh yeah I am picking up speed in after effects too.

Here's a bit of yesterday's project

I use a core i5 laptop
With 8gb RAM and 2gb Nvidia GeForce card
Rendering one high end image with light and everything can take up to 30+ mins

These are sick. They're quite reflective. Just the type I love.

Do you use Blender for yours?

Welcome

You are very much welcome to the stable. You'll be a Giant.
Looking forward to more of your pieces and future collabos.

How did you achieve those reflections, HDRs or normal lights? Lovely

@Fabian, A little confession, when I was deciding my career path and someone mentioned CGI, my heart went fiam. It sounded like some high end programming grin

Some acronyms can make you lily livered
