[WIP] Wiimote (and possibly a Wii)

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 4:22 am

Hey,
Since I have my new computer I can actually model things and not have my view port receive 2 frames per second. I can also render a lot faster now. Anyway, My goal this year is to broaden my artistic ability both 2d and 3d. Here is my first attempt at modeling something complex for myself which is the Wiimote. If I feel good enough about the Wiimote when I\'m done I will do a Wii console. The black buttons are just temporary; They will be changing to the way the real wiimote buttons look like in the final image.

Nice work. I\'m trying to learn 3d as well now that my computer can run it... but I\'m only learning the bare basics... and slowly.

Looking good, Josh!

I\'d like to get into 3d someday, having more hours in a day would help!

It takes dedication... And if you don\'t work with it for at least once a week you start forgetting techniques you can use to do certain types of stuff :| I\'ve cheated a lot in this model because there are sooo many circles I had to use Boolean objects. (They\'re frowned upon in the 3d world lol)

Yeh I know its real easy to forget stuff. Like i\'ve already forgot how to do some simple stuff that I\'ve learnt in the tutorials.

Tibs hasn\'t posted in this thread, vercz <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> It\'s all me haha

and 3d is like..amazing. I love it. Guild wars runs at 35 FPS with 4X anti aliasing on <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... iggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

Indeed I haven\'t since I just came back from 10-days to China I didn\'t have much time <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

The model looks really slick josh, care to post a wire? also try to make the render a bit more bright, maybe add a floor and a sky object.

If you\'re working in 3dsm then I don\'t really know how to but I\'m sure you can <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... igwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />

Keep it up

Nah, I\'m in C4D lol. I realllly don\'t want to texture it though for some reason.. I lack motivation for that:\
