    Looking good, Robin!

    Some parts (above the middle of the crate) are a bit too black, maybe....the 'detail highlights' on this corner, separating it from the background are very hard to see (could also be partly due to image compression):

    Hi Martin,

    thx for the hint :) I made the back-light a bit stronger. I think the Details are now a bit more visible. I also tinted the fill light in red to create some coloured highlights.

    Martin's feedback helped a lot. Your crate must be top 3 of the best sci-fi crates in here. Top job man 🤘🏻

    Thx so much! This really means a lot to me. This is the first time sharing my work in a 3D-Community, so this kind of feedback really surprises me.

    And yeah Martin, you really helped me out!

    Thanks again to both of you and have a happy new year :)

    One of the best Sci-Fi crates I've seen so far! Awesome lighting. The changes definitely made those details pop. Keep up the good work, excited to see what you share next!

    Good practice for quick selection tools. Just added a bit of lighting and a Default Cube with a Hair-Particle System
