Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Wood and Cloth Color Combos

Thanks, KaylinR. The grills don't look right with that maple do they?

I need to work on the lighting a little bit, the grills are actually in the shadow of the speaker a little. Its make them pretty dark from that angle. Let me see what I can do.

Perfect change on the facets! That's just how they are.

I added a few lights to the model. From now on I'll show all color combos with this lighting if no one objects. Here's attempt two at BigJohn's Oak & Sienna.

Nice work! Not to nitpick even further, but since we're going for accuracy, can you rotate the cabinet texture so that the grain runs lengthwise along the top and front, and runs front to back on the ends? That's how Axiom does it.

Boy, they sure look better with the grills off!

Okay, due to popular demand, here is attempt three at Oak and Sienna.





Are we close yet?

Perfect!

Now you just need to simulate both daylight and incandescent lighting.... j/k

Those are nice models Kaylin. As someone iterated to, variability in monitor colour settings are a big factor in what one really sees on the internet which is unfortunate. The burnt sienna cloth does not look pink at all and i suspect bigjohn's photo shot had a touch of red shift.
You can see pics of the Boston Cherry finish in high res (and in real sunlight) along with some of the cloths here in the Axiom Factory tour thread.
Home monitor calibration can make as big a difference as it does for one's HT screen.

Again, not to pick nits, but turn down the specularity some as well. Think satin, not high gloss.

3D Studio Max I assume?
