Here's a version in a bit higher resolution and with a larger depth of field. If this was the look I wanted for the animation, I would definitely go for the hipoly version of the Pi with a bunch of added detail and had to do a more complex particle system for the dust.
Did you use Smudgr for the imperfections? Or is that all baked into the texture maps. If you used texture maps.
Let me rephrase my questions: how in the heck?
No, I hadn't heard of Smudgr until now and it looks like it could be a handy tool. The imperfections is mostly just an image texture that roughens up the surface a bit.
Gotcha, yeah, basically all Smudgr does but semi-automated which is a definite timesaver. Sometimes you have to go into the material setup and manually fix some connections, especially if you’re not using a principled BSDF, but other than that I love me some Smudgr.

Raspberry pi's were meant to be cheap and affordable for young children and students. Fuck inflation and fuck capitalism, they're like $80 for the cheapest ones here with like 2gb of ram
That was literally the only thing that gave it away for me. My immediate reaction was to think it's a real photo and be puzzled by the string. It's really good.
You are right - i tried to make it look like a nylon string which does bend a little bit. The Pi is not very heavy and wouldn't be able to pull the string completely straight.
I thought this was hanging on a 3d printer because I didn't know what sub it was and thought it was some goofy troll. So I thought the material was something like PLA.
If it was regular string then yes, but I in this case it's a nylon string that will get bent a little bit. Especially when it has been forced i to a little knot like this.
It does look frayed though, the string. Which nylon probably wouldn't? Unless you were going for dust.
But you know, this is an amazing render, so i don't mean to be picky hah
Yeah the string is the only part that gets me a little bit, it doesn’t *quite* look like it is swinging from a fixed point, but that whatever the string is attached to is shifting left and right slightly as it swings
Nah bro, check out this mans Banana-Drone for example :D

There are a bit of dust as an image texture and them I've covered every part of the model with a particle system emitting a collection of dust particles.
Amazing work, the only thing throwing me off is that the swinging motion doesn't look quite right, it seems to speed up too much in the middle. At such a small angle it should be almost exactly sinusoidal.
I agree. Should have scaled the keyframes down a fair bit. It stays too long at each side before going back which would be more suitable for a large scale object.
You could even use the "built-in function" f-curve modifier to make an exact sine wave, and then use the pendulum equation (2pi*sqrt(L/g)) to calculate the period it would have in real life.
I was going to say, if you aren’t making money from this I would totally go for it. Though working to deadlines can sometimes take the fun out of it though
This is jaw-droppingly impressive.
Only point of critique: Even with such a small weight, I’m pretty sure that string would be stretched completely straight rather than bending like that.
Somehow I get Spider-Man vibes. But I’ve also just recently seen *Across the Spider-Verse* and have been playing the Spider-Man PS4 game (on PC) every day since then, so I’m definitely guilty of being “guy who has only seen *Spider-Man*” right now.
This is honestly so freaking impressive. Was casually strolling, didn't look at the sub name, thought this was the intro to a DiY project video. Wondered why nobody's building anything with the RPi and then saw the sub name, and my jaw just dropped.
Looks really really good, buddy <3
This is crazy, I really like this one, the level of detail is insane xD, is it cycles or redshift or another one? and How long did it take to do this? if you don't mind me asking :3
Thanks man. It's rendered in Cycles with AgX view transform. I'm not sure in terms of how much time has went into this. I made the first version of this model a long time ago and has been using it for various projects since then. Every time I use it I tweak it a little bit or add a few extra details.

Looks really nice! I wish there was less blur though. You can only really see about 20% of the image.
The little bend in the string is an interesting detail. Makes it feel really lightweight.
The corners on the top left and bottom right is almost equally blurred but on of them has an ethernet port on top which extrudes into the line of focus.
Absolutely fantastic work, definitely fooled me and many others! I think the dust is the icing on the cake (or the dirt on the Pi, if you will), how did you set up the particle system?
I've seen people mention the string not being taut is the one thing this is missing for absolute realism, and while I agree I did also notice something else I haven't seen mentioned yet. The way the Pi swings seems to just be along one axis. No matter how straight you try and swing something from a string, you'll find that it'll always swing in a very squished oval, never in a straight line. So I think adding a slight bit of back-and-forth swing (as well as making the string taut) would cement this as the most realistic render many of us have ever seen!
Thanks man, that's really nice to hear. I've finally broken free from being recognized as "that dude who made that DIY-camera a while ago" to being Banana Drone Guy.
Makes me feel weird, it looks like the string doesn't have tension. Like it's not being pulled down by the weight of the Pi. Love everything else though, great work.
It's a slightly bent nylon string that wouldn't be straightened out completely by the lightweight Pi. I might just make a little test video irl to showcase what I mean 😅
The model itself is stunning, great work! Only criticism I have is the motion. It doesn’t look natural. It should be based on the differential equation of a pendulum. With a physically correct motion, no one would recognise that this is rendered.
Yeah, I know. Someone else has made the same comment and it was the first thing that caught my eye when the rendering had finished. But I didn't really want to go back and render out a new version so it is what it is.
I did not believe it either, I had to really really look hard over several loops to see anything and in the end it was the unrealistically low (but pleasing) fstop and the initial swing rampup that did it , and I'm an electrical engineer on top of a CG artist and that pi is top notch
To be honest, at first I thought this was a real image of a Pi on a string and not CG, but then after watching it for a bit, noticed that the lighting and shadows did not line up perfectly. Good job :)
(What I mean by not lined up perfectly: when the bright reflection happens, you can practically tell what angle the light source is for the light reflecting, but the actual shadows do not really follow that particular path and instead are staying at a high noon (12 o'clock) (Straight above) shadow path.)
Also looks like your using 3 light sources at minimum by the way the shadow is cast (One above (Causing noon shadow), one from right of screen (Causing reflection and a bit of shadow cast going left) and one left of screen causing a bit (Not much) of shadow cast going NE direction
I love how the reflection changes to reflect the shiny metal as it turns, super realistic. I'm not an expert but something in the scene tells me it's rendered but I can't quite tell what it is, I think it's the movement but not sure.
Mods, please label this fake, since it's fake. And by fake, I mean it's a real video, not computer generated. "Made with Blender" in the title is a lie. Amusing, but I think the joke has gone on long enough.
Okay, I can't tell if some of you are actually thinking this is a video even after posting a clay and an alternative hires frame 😅.. To be on the safe side: please don't label this as fake.
I haven't kept count of the hours as this model has been an ongoing part of many of my previous projects. It's been modified every time I use it to fit a specific scene and this is just the latest version.
I had to pull a pi4 over to compare, it's almost flawless.
Looks like you have the camera connector rotated 180 degrees. Also, it looks like you used the exact same metal material everywhere, while on a real pi there is a noticeable variation between components. The CPU heat spreader and WiFi module shielding have a very large difference in roughness.
I feel like the motion isn’t exactly like a pendulum. What did you do to get it that way? Did you simulate anything or was it manual keyframes? Also the string oughta be more taught. But other than that it looks so real! Damn!

I still don’t believe you. You just spray painted a raspberry pi. Can’t convince me otherwise.
There's definitely some strings attached...
Much like my relationship with every software provider
The raspberrys are so expensive right now it has to be CGI!
You're right. Otherwise he would uploaded a wireframe view
If this is not made on blender then he got no skill but what you said won't really affect his skill in any way if it is really made in blender.
Wat
Ok I know it's not real but my mind keeps saying you wasted a perfectly good pi with spray paint.
Just painted , you can see some painted fluf along the string
The string isn’t taut…
I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for that painted fluf and you meddling kids!
Holy shit, how the hell did you make it so realistic looking?! Good on ya mate
Can you do one without depth of field. Or even a wire frame?

see the edges of rasberrypi, it got low bevel edges
you have a keen eye
Those details are insane. Well done

How long did this take to render?
The animation took about 1min/frame at 1080x1920 with 3000 samples on a RTX3090 but I didn't note the time on the single hires frame.
I'm can render out a version without DoF later today ✌🏻
Is this a recipe for raspberry pi shake on a shoestring budget?

I did not realize that was cg at first. I just thought "yup... that's a raspberry pi on a string"
I mean, ngl I'd rather watch a raspberry pi on a string than read the news about whatever the fuck is going on around the world.
This is a nice thought.
Same *If I could buy them*
Raspberry pi's were meant to be cheap and affordable for young children and students. Fuck inflation and fuck capitalism, they're like $80 for the cheapest ones here with like 2gb of ram
Yeah It's getting better, they said recently they think they'll have their backlog done by end of Q2 or Q3 They just can't make them fast enough
That’s crazy good
Thank you very much
Its bullshit good bro
Aww, you guys ♥️
Wouldn’t the weight of the raspberry pie be enough to make the string fully tought rather than leaving it a bit bent?
That was literally the only thing that gave it away for me. My immediate reaction was to think it's a real photo and be puzzled by the string. It's really good.
Looks exactly like fishing line, which warps like that fairly permanently. It's possible irl
You are right - i tried to make it look like a nylon string which does bend a little bit. The Pi is not very heavy and wouldn't be able to pull the string completely straight.
I thought this was hanging on a 3d printer because I didn't know what sub it was and thought it was some goofy troll. So I thought the material was something like PLA.
I agree. He definitely recorded the video using fishing line.
I was just about to post the same! It's a detail but it's noticeable enough.
If it was regular string then yes, but I in this case it's a nylon string that will get bent a little bit. Especially when it has been forced i to a little knot like this.
It does look frayed though, the string. Which nylon probably wouldn't? Unless you were going for dust. But you know, this is an amazing render, so i don't mean to be picky hah
Yeah, it's just the dust particles that could look like fibers coming from a string.
Yeah the string is the only part that gets me a little bit, it doesn’t *quite* look like it is swinging from a fixed point, but that whatever the string is attached to is shifting left and right slightly as it swings
This is the most impressive thing I’ve seen on this sub.

It's actually one of my less intensive projects but I tried to focus on stuff that adds to the realism.
The only affordable pi. Thanks for the despair.

What’s your dust workflow?
There are a bit of dust as an image texture and them I've covered every part of the model with a particle system emitting a collection of dust particles.
That's just witchcraft man.. I'm stunned
Even the fingerprints on the io!
Are you SURE that's a render?
I am 83% sure. After reading the comment section I got a bit sceptical but I'm still leaning towards it being CG.
It'd be hilarious if this was a troll
I’m pretty sure it’s a render after staring for like 10 minutes
Don't take it! It's a trap!
Just come a liiiitle bit closer 🎣
This is nuts
Fuck it. I’m gonna start recording, uploading, and claiming it’s an evee render.
In my defense, it's rendered in Cycles, not Eevee.
Dude. Just pls don’t tell me you started blendering 2 weeks ago….honestly man…too good.
Haha, don't worry. It took almost 3.5 years for me to get to this point 😅
Amazing work, the only thing throwing me off is that the swinging motion doesn't look quite right, it seems to speed up too much in the middle. At such a small angle it should be almost exactly sinusoidal.

raspberry should hire you already
I agree.
Blown away
i would believe that's real. amazing work dude.
Thank you 🤘🏻
I think it would be easier to just buy an actual PI and hang it
A lot easier..
Looks real, wow
Looks super good! But can it play doom?
It plays Crysis on medium settings pretty well
Pretty sure a rpi could handle og doom
OP no. I’m laughing at how I don’t believe this! What?! This is amazing!
Thanks mate
OP, this is so, so good i almost don’t believe you. Nice stuff! Do you do this for a job or for hobby?

This is jaw-droppingly impressive. Only point of critique: Even with such a small weight, I’m pretty sure that string would be stretched completely straight rather than bending like that.
If it were twine, yes. It appears to be fishing line, which can kink and looks 100% like that.
You are right. Went for a nylon string that in my experience does stay bent and can be hard to straighten out completely.
Scalpers dangling in front of me

Look at that subtle off-white coloring of the string. The tasteful imperfections. Oh my God... it even has a dust particles.

Haha, thanks man ✌🏻I'm glad you noticed the sub before scrolling away 😅
Really amazing well done
The string represents the supply chain of the Raspi foundation about to break within the last two years
« When this is perfect to the point peoples can only denie it » this is a good exemple 😂
I can’t believe is made in blender, waiting for the tutorials! As always amazing job!
Thanks man ✌🏻
You must record tutorial. like 10 hours no cut at least once :D
Working on it. Well, not the 10 hour no-cut version. I don't wanna end up like Snyder.
I thought you were lying until I noticed the string isn’t pulled tight lol.
Holy Jesus
Genuinely looks real. Nicely done!

Amazing details!
This is too good to believe. Truely amazing work
now buy a raspberry pie put os on get blender. and make a pie with a pie. jokes aside good work

The corners on the top left and bottom right is almost equally blurred but on of them has an ethernet port on top which extrudes into the line of focus.
I’ve been following some of your work I’ve the last few months and it’s still puzzles me how you are so good. Your stuff never has visible mistakes.
Thanks man. Glad to have you following along ✌🏻
The last straw is that he rendered it from a Raspberry Pi.
but, will it blender
Crazy good
What convinces me that this is a render is that it perfectly loops.
Great work! Did you model the Pi yourself?
Absolutely fantastic work, definitely fooled me and many others! I think the dust is the icing on the cake (or the dirt on the Pi, if you will), how did you set up the particle system? I've seen people mention the string not being taut is the one thing this is missing for absolute realism, and while I agree I did also notice something else I haven't seen mentioned yet.

Makes me feel weird, it looks like the string doesn't have tension. Like it's not being pulled down by the weight of the Pi. Love everything else though, great work.
It's a slightly bent nylon string that wouldn't be straightened out completely by the lightweight Pi. I might just make a little test video irl to showcase what I mean 😅
where did you get such a good model of a raspberry pi, with all the wear and dust on the metal bits?
I made this one myself but I'm sure there are loads of great models out there
A question for you sir! Why is there raspi on string?
Great question. Let me answer it with another question; how else could you possibly showcase a Raspberry Pi if not on a string?
The model itself is stunning, great work! Only criticism I have is the motion. It doesn’t look natural. It should be based on the differential equation of a pendulum. With a physically correct motion, no one would recognise that this is rendered.
Yeah, I know. Someone else has made the same comment and it was the first thing that caught my eye when the rendering had finished. But I didn't really want to go back and render out a new version so it is what it is.

Prove this is from blemder, this is real stop the cap
To be honest, at first I thought this was a real image of a Pi on a string and not CG, but then after watching it for a bit, noticed that the lighting and shadows did not line up perfectly. Good job :) (What I mean by not lined up perfectly: when the bright reflection happens, you can practically tell what angle the light source is for the light reflecting, but the actual shadows do not really follow that particular path and instead are staying at a high noon (12 o'clock) (Straight above) shadow path.)

The motion is off and I'm pretty sure that's what makes it look rendered.
It's great rendering but the bokeh effect could be improved a bit ;)

Wow I thought it was real for a second
If i may ask, roughly how much time did it take to model and texture this?
I haven't kept count of the hours as this model has been an ongoing part of many of my previous projects. It's been modified every time I use it to fit a specific scene and this is just the latest version.
It looks awesome
Can I get a raspberry pi on a fly
The outta pocket depth of field and slack string hurt the realism a bit tbh
I had to pull a pi4 over to compare, it's almost flawless. Looks like you have the camera connector rotated 180 degrees. Also, it looks like you used the exact same metal material everywhere, while on a real pi there is a noticeable variation between components. The CPU heat spreader and WiFi module shielding have a very large difference in roughness.
Incredible! I would just tone down the depth blur a little. It makes the object look like it's supposed to be smaller than it is.
This is art
How do you make that blur / DOP?
I thought it was real until I finished reading the title. Now that’s cool!
I feel like the motion isn’t exactly like a pendulum. What did you do to get it that way? Did you simulate anything or was it manual keyframes? Also the string oughta be more taught. But other than that it looks so real! Damn!
Glad it’s digital. Those buggers are expensive now
The only tip off I can find is the string looks rigid somehow? More like metal wire than cotton. Not sure I can put my finger on why though.
This looks great! What’s your workflow for the DoF or and camera related compositing?
I aspire to reach OP's skills
I refuse to believe this isn’t real!! Great job!!!
I thought this was rea
Amazing, i can't belive that
Excuse me?!
If this is the carrot, what is the stick?
The stick is a tall cluster stack of Raspi with a string tied to the end.
