Sometimes, simple objects turn out to be very difficult to perform.

Nice work!
What where the difficult parts?

[SATtva]

Making good reflections in metallic objects to emphasize the geometry might be hard from my experience. This is a very solid work from this point of view.

Yes, it's all right SATtva. It's all about reflections. It is difficult to show the steel of a certain brand. Show realistically without having a background.
Here is the last option (in this perspective the customer insisted)

for today I have a few motors

Nice motor model!
Have you done the modelling in Blender?
Once I tried something similar, starting from an existing model and exporting the mesh from Solid Edge.
Mesh conversion to something usable by Blender was then a pain: I had to do a ton of manual corrections, and the mesh was huge, making each operation in blender terribly slow...

I normally use Topsolid for engineering CAD. But for exporting STL then I think Fusion 360 has some handy capabilities to simplify the mesh - which makes things a bit easier when they are imported into Blender.

Just a thought.

Blender Decal machine and Hardops are your friend :

These are renderers for 300 x 300 pixels - so there are not many polygons.

I have Hard Ops, but I never learned to use it.
I'm modeling in Blender. This is a simple simulation. For example, such projects are hard for me, this I do 2 days: https://youtu.be/QxLh28FJd1k

I receive the file * .iges, I open it in FreeSCAD, export to Blender.
I put import a model on layer 1. On layer 2 I modeling the most purely. Then render.

For several years I used Rhino, but I realized that Blender could do the same, but free \ small donatas.

Interesting video, Dez!
Thanks for sharing your workflow. And thanks Racleborg and Sharlybg for your suggestions, I'll have a look at those tools.
I also tried to use FreeCAD starting from an iges model, and also Salome, but with both I ended up with similar problems...

When I have some time I'll try to work again on that model and maybe ask for some more specific suggestion.
