16-bit Memories

Intercepto · 28-09-2010, 05:30 PM

Childhood, Christmas time, friends, family, joy, happiness ... and, a new toy on my desk. Toy that will define my life, responsible for such a beautiful experiences from my childhood. Kids imaginary world, lost over time, a glimpse of it left in my head, a glimpse of priceless memory.
But, it wouldn't be such a great experience if it wasn't for my friends... do you guys remember how we spent hours playing games, competing and exploring these new digital frontiers?

I must admit I had Atari ST not Amiga

, but my friend had Amiga and it had way better graphics and sound than my ST. So that's the reason why I decided to model Amiga for this illustration, out of respect.

Ya...and if i'm looking at the time, i got a less 3 hours more of playing

nice render, can we look at the wire pls??

when classic gamer sees this, he will give you 10 golden eyes.

Kage · 28-09-2010, 07:59 PM

He certainly will. This piece is amazing.
Love the detail of the soldiers as well

ClassicGamer-3DT · 28-09-2010, 08:13 PM

OMFG! You guys are right, this is absolutely stunning, the modelling, lighting and texturing is beautifully done, but more than that the memories it conjours of my own childhood. This is an absolute delight. This just looks amazing, you've even got my own all time favourite movie poster in there! I'm insanely jealous I didn't make this myself as it's stunning.

Would love to see your wireframes, clays and a making of, you can honestly see the love that's gone into the production of this peice.

Definately claim your golden eye award here, you more than deserve it.

And thank you, thank you for sharing.

Kind Regards

Man this is so awesome!!!
Absolutely brilliant.

I am a proud owner of Amiga 1200.
But Amiga 500 was the legendary comp... that's for sure.
I like that you put C64 in the corner, and all the awesome details in there. Lightning is great. Everything is great! I am really impressed.

Congrats on the plug!

Please... making off.

Excellent! Love the soldier jumping off the desk. Great stuff and well deserved plug.

Hey guys.
Thanks so much for comments,

lebaje ... I'll render wire soon, probably by the end of week since I'm really busy
Psycho Mantis ... hehe, you were right.

Kage ... thanks.
ClassicGamer-3DT ... I'm glad I made your day. I'll see if I will have some time to make making of, hopefully I will. Clay and wire render are coming soon. BTW I am real retromaniac, I'm reading about old games almost every day. Man I miss my childhood...
bobi ... 1200 was also a great machine. By that time I had my PC already, but at the time of Amiga 500 none of the PC machines could catch up with graphics on amiga, it was way ahead of it's time. BTW do you know about Retrogamer magazine, it's great publication, made in UK... I'm subscribed to it for last 1 year and I think I will be subscribed as long as it's published.

McFly ... Thanks man.

DaddyDoom · 29-09-2010, 06:34 AM

Awesome piece indeed. Love the vibrant colors.
CG, how many squirts in the panties when you saw this?

I_AM_DAVE_COX · 29-09-2010, 08:08 AM

This is my new favourite piece! Congratulations!

I hope you are truly satisfied!

the note says "ne igraj se poslije 12 sati" or i read it wrong. I think you couldn't abide by that rule ever if i read the note correctly

.

p.s. budi uspomene na stare dane; nice render

ClassicGamer-3DT · 29-09-2010, 11:26 AM

I occasionally read Retrogamer Magazine too, cannot afford to subscribe but that have a wonderful art department as the magazine and it's front covers always looks superb

Intercepto · 29-09-2010, 04:06 PM

DaddyDoom ... tnx man.
I_AM_DAVE_COX ... I am, because it's made out of love.

rocneasta ... you are right, its exactly what I wrote on paper.

Hvala!
ClassicGamer-3DT ... yes it's a little bit expensive, but it's worth it.

Lars3D · 29-09-2010, 05:06 PM

This is just a fantastic piece of work. I don't think I have seen a scene that really draws a viewer in so much. There is just so much to look at. Lighting, modeling and textures are sublime.

Shadowkath · 30-09-2010, 05:24 PM

Really cool job, I love the commodore 64 put in there, and the 5 1/4 floppies.. I am loving the old days stuff put in here. Relics not yet forgotten... and the little army guys, really good job.
