3D Steampunk glass encased Fantasy Rocket

....or maybe just another 3D Blender attempt to create artful design.



The hands I downloaded from https://archive3d.net, but applied my own material.
The 'rocket' is my own design.

Feel free to comment it.

A very nice piece Chris!

A perfect combination of stone art and techno.
Very well applied material on the hands and I like the way you use transparacy in the steampunk art.

Thanks Lambert for your positive feedback.

The difficulty in this job was to position the parts inside the glass in a way that they don't distort too much.
To get a 'natural' transparency I had to move and rotate the light source and also the camera angle many times just slightly to get the effect I wanted.
And of course with each adjustment I had to check how it looked when rendered.

A little refraction distortion due to the glass effect is natural though.
I reduce it by adding a mix shader and using the glass shader and transparency shader and shift the slider until I've got the 'right' amount of refraction.
I you want a heavy glass refraction then use solidify and play with the thickness.

But you're right, light is the key factor.
