An hdri for illumination, I must of rendered this two dozen times trying different globals/rotation.
The model credits for the Makita drill is by nono downloaded from the 3d warehouse. I own one
just like it.

amazing work rangerrick!! i thought it was a photo at first! on second glance though, the only thing that makes it non-photo for me is the green plastic, i think maybe a very fine bumpmap would make it uber real! or you could just photoshop in a few imperfections. i got a drill just like it too! great scene, love it

impressive, Rick...
reminds me it's time to update the gallery

Thanks Olishea, I implemented your suggestion to add a fine bump w/scratches to the green plastic. Good call. It’s hardly noticeable, I didn’t want to over due it but I hope it adds value to the image. I reworked the trigger a bit and the tone mapping is slightly cooler.

Great render, Ranger...

That's awesome, I keep going back to this topic to look at it!
That new trigger really made it a lot better, great job! The only thing I'm noticing is how the cross in the heads of the screws looks kinda 'boxy', aren't those usually a little tapered (for lack of a better word)?

All in all an awesome render of what is probably an awesome tool (I have the screwdriver from the same productline and it kicks ass!).
