For those who have many watchers, and for those who dont have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

i'm a little unsure about the wood texture; around the thinner sides of the machine it looks like the grain changes direction? it could just be that i don't know how it "should" look, but it seems funny.
your render's really nice, if a little grainy. not sure if you decided to have the grain to give it a 70's look, of sorts, or if it's just the inevitable trade-off between render time and computer power. regardless of that, the lighting's great, and it doesn't look like you've just whacked in an HDRI map which is nice to see. Great work!

The grain really is due to the rendering algorithm, since I used the stochastic radiosity. It would be less grainy if I had given it some more hours, but in fact I do like the grainy look. When I make smoother renderings I often add some grain manually
And you're right, I did NOT just whack in an HDRI map. This image does not utilize HDRI. Generally, I hardly use HDRI at all, because it would often take me more time to find a suitable map than to create a good lighting setup myself.
I am not quite sure what you mean with your commend about the wood. But I must admit, the wood is the part where I've been lazy. I shot the texture myself, but I find it hard to get a good mapping with wood textures.
Best regards,

I agree with saru about the wood on the ends, but it just looks to me like a faux-wood surface that was actually used on a lot of electronics from the 70s, so for me it still works.
Love the soft grain here too, and the lighting and reflectivity are perfect.
