  • Hey everyone! Join me in this video as I dive into creating a stunning product rendering of an Akai tape machine. I'll start by showing you where I sourced the model and how I imported it into Blender from 3ds Max. We'll cover the process of converting textures and setting up the scene with all the assets. I'll walk you through each asset, then we'll get into the fun stuff like tweaking our composition, adjusting camera settings, and playing with the lighting. Stick around until the end to see how we pull it all together in Natron for the final image. Can't wait to show you how it's done!

    Im working on some more videos. However what other product rendering walkthroughs would you all like to see? Or let me know if you all have any other ideas…

      Nice. I think everyday stuff would be very useful. Cause everyone kind of knows of the real thing looks. A razor/shaver, a pen, … such stuff. Just an idea tho

      Also if the models would be free do download from somewhere, we could try to follow the steps parallel to the video. But idk if the is enough quality on those free stuff …

    I happen to own this very same Akai gx747dbx. Mine has the silver compound. Originally brought it at the Japanese stereo mukeshia in April of 1984. I see them going for as much as $4,000 on eBay today.

      Yeah the original model has the silver version too. That's really dope that you have the physical item. Some of these vintage items really hold their value. I plan on getting a reel to reel at some point to add to my audio signal chain. I have a all analog setup for making beats this add some more great texture to my music.

      @@nxstynate5505 The ONLY difference on the silver face model is the dbx button on mine is dark green anodized aluminum and the model shows a silver button. Whether AKAI changed it during production, I don't know. But yeah, I've had mine in a studio for forty years. Just did a PM on it last year, replaced rubber belts for the tension arms, new lamps and went through the mechanicals. Tested it on an audio analyzer and printed a test report for when I decide to sell it.
      The oldest trick is to feed the output of the left channel into the right while using sound on sound feature to record the left output to the right. This creates a delay effect. Was pretty crazy when I first discovered this in 1968 with a Panasonic deck I had bought at the time.

    Awesome video what would you say is the main benefit of using this compositor rather than post process in photoshop ?

    • @nxstynate5505
      @nxstynate5505  Před 2 měsíci +2

      Great question! The main difference between node-based compositing (like in Natron) and something like Photoshop boils down to how you manage your workflow and effects.
      In Photoshop, you're working with layers. Each effect or adjustment you make is stacked on top of each other in layers. This can get a bit messy if you have lots of adjustments because you're constantly tweaking and re-ordering those layers to get the right look.
      Node-based compositing, on the other hand, is like a flowchart. Each node represents a specific effect or adjustment, and you connect them together in a tree-like structure. This makes it super clear and organized, because you can see exactly how each effect feeds into the next. You can easily make changes or experiment without messing up your whole project.
      I’ll be sharing some other methods of post-processing as I release more videos. Thanks asking the question.

    I know going with default blender compositor will not give me the best results as with this Nitro app,
    but is the blender compositor still enough for delivering my renders to clients. As a product visualizer ?

    • @nxstynate5505
      @nxstynate5505  Před měsícem +1

      The way I see it, is that if you're comfortable in the Blender compositor for your workflow, or any other software then use it. If it makes you fast and efficient I don't see you wouldn't use it. I don't use Natron for everything, it depends on what I am working on. If I can do everything in the "box" with a little bit of post-production then I'll render in the box with final corrections in "Camera Raw". I have multiple options that I can use.

    There is a different model on CG Trader the non-dbx version of this tape deck but I can't find the model that you're using in this video do you have a link to it?
