It’s a little bit off-topic, but could you tell us Clay how you make the images like the one of the scissor attachment? They look great and are very clear. But I cannot work out how they are made: they’re a bit too smooth for a straight photograph, but (I think) too realistic for a completely artificial image.
They are digital renderings from our CAD files. The software for doing it has become very sophisticated and it’s possible to control the materials and lighting really well. You can even simulate camera lenses and depth of field. You can control all shadows and reflections and the various ray bounces. In that image, I did minimal processing so it’s not even close to what’s possible in the software. The package I’m using is called KeyShot.
