Sure I can post some wires, but I reckon you want to see the unsmoothed objects, and there's a hell lot of objects to unsmooth.... I'll see if I have the strength to do it
Beer glass scene creation
This course contains a little bit of everything with modeling, UVing, texturing and dynamics in Maya, as well as compositing multilayered EXR's in Photoshop.

Like the way you've got the creases (need them for my challenge model and was looking for some examples).
Good work on the materials and the renders, are you making the materials using maya of maxwell? (P.S I havent a clue about the workflow of maxwell just thet it has some materials on the website)

Ok, haven't looked at the challenge this month. What's it about, and what are you making?
There's a plugin to Maya to get Maxwell fully integrated, as you can see from the pic. So I create them in Maya. There's also a separate material editor application that can be used if one wants to.

I noticed a dirty plate of spaghetti, or something else tasty, in your photograph. It might be good to add a few similar objects to clutter up and dirty your scene to save it from looking so computer clean. Really loving some of your renders though.

(i have nothing against the third party renderers, but if after hearing that over 20 people have asked 'why use it if it takes so long to render?' why don't the proponents of the renderers create a thread in one of the forums describing options or ease of use or the like to offer counter-arguments? (i'd rather become familiar with the options of the maya software or mental ray renderers and change options around than wait for a 4+ hour render to show off something that can be just as good if you took the time to learn what mental ray has to offer and you become proficient at it)
oh by the way, the wire looks great. it's too bad that from the render the subtleties of the couch wrinkles and such don't show too that well. you have obviously put a lot of time and thought into your modeling and texturing.

starjsjswars, I got 1.5 GB ram.
NeoStrider, yeah I know some of the wrinkles doesn't show that good, but it depends what kind of lighting there is, just like in real life.

Gollum is fighting an army of light saber wielding ents behind the sofa.Originally posted by Jay

Dude it looks good, but again (yawn) 60hrs for this is a joke, its not like you are rendering fur, hair, Ents or Gollum, some tweaks I feel, or just use MR if you want good Photorealistic renders
Good work though
