CAD, Rendering, KeyShot, AI, MidJourney for chip design and visualization, mockup (4 Viewers)

Hey chip designers... Anyone using any CAD data, Rendering software like KeyShot, Visualization tools, etc. other than the chip design tools? Just curious. Seems like custom/fantasy sets would benefit from barrel or racked shots or splashed pots, depth of field, color pop, etc., If you are... post your thoughts and projects here.

Also, I've thought of using AI like MidJourney for labels. Thoughts? Cutting edge stuff. Post your ideas and label dabbles here. My MidJourney free trial ended, thinking I might subscribe.

I think someone else did too. I’ll see if I can find it.

@Colquhoun or anyone else, wasn’t there another thread showing 3D rendered chips that had a golf theme? I can’t seem to find it right now.

Ray-Col set the bar for renderings.

Edit: just revisted that thread. @Colquhoun is doing impressive work as well.

What kind of chips are we talking about, ceramics or labels for clays?

Using midjourney how exactly? I have a years subscription but it's very bad at producing text. You may be able to produce a graphic to then transfer to another design program.

Ah ya... there you go... I do this kind of work for a living but couldn't find anyone doing this sort of visualization. Nice renderings. Creating the CAD for a Paulson chip would be the hard part. Wonder if there's anything out there on GrabCad that's already modeled up. I'll have to check.

Oh for sure Paulson xHC molds, clay is what I'm thinking to visualize a casino set along with some murdered fracs. Or also CPC customs before you purchase an entire set it would be nice to see renderings first.

Ya MidJourney I'm thinking for the artwork and then pull the artwork into like photoshop or illustrator and just do some simple text. Search stuff like "midjourney logo design" stuff like that. There's some really great AI art being created that is stylistic or realistic depending on how you describe the art. Ya actual Text is terrible right now.

Thread revival!

Sorry, but I recently got back into 3D modelling, and wanted to find a thread that talked about this sort of thing. I decided to quickly whip up a model (SketchUp + Enscape) using the Aurora Star design. (I know some inlays are incorrect and the $5 edge spots are wrong haha)

I also modelled my (now sold) CPC customs
Here's a side by side:

wasn’t there another thread showing 3D rendered chips that had a golf theme? I can’t seem to find it right now.

and to reply to an almost 2 year old comment, that was my thread! (image below and link) I really should get back on completing the set... Not making that $1 into a set is almost criminal. Even more so now that I play golf every week :/

This is really cool! It would help many who are ordering CPC chips or custom sets in general to figure out how their chips would look like stacked, in play etc.

Definitely, if I can get them looking really nice and much better I hope I can offer it as a service.
