Photo Modelling Challenge #37 - Nintendo Gameboy Original

ClassicGamer-3DT · 08-08-2014, 01:49 PM

Each week or two myself or 3D Total's photo resource will provide a set of photo's to model from.

Each challenge we would like all who participate to model from the same references to learn, improve or showcase your ability in modelling from a photo set.

In my version of this challenge there are no limits to how many tris/quads you wish to use, but I would like to see you all try to match the photo as closely as possible in size & shape aswell as texturing too.

The Rules

Please post your wires, clays, & any texture sheets and final renders in this thread, wip and on topic chat is also fine here too, these challenges are supposed to be fun and we are not too strict on the rules.

The Prizes

The only prizes are a gold, silver and bronze awards dictated by these lovely little icons

Deadline Date: Friday 10.00pm GMT 5th September 2014

Deadline Timer

This Weeks Challenge:

In this challenge i'd like to see you attempt to model a classic in the history video gaming..... the Nintendo Gameboy Original. Released in Japan on April 21 1989, in North America in August 1989, and in Europe on September 28, 1990. This was the first handheld console in the Game Boy line, and was created by Gunpei Yokoi who had designed the Game & Watch series as well as several popular games for the NES. This model has plenty of different elements such as sharp & soft edges, so should prove to be an interesting model to create.

Belive me I am working on this, just having such a hard time figuering out the topology for this one, got some really tricky parts to do.

Edit:
This is where im at atm, the mesh topology isn't a complete mess, but im not really happy with it either. Hopefully I get some time to work some more on the topology later.

Edit 2:
Done some more work on this, so it's getting there, have also fixed the indents around the A/B buttons, but no pictures for that.
