[3d clock]: concept design

Milkdrop · 03-23-2004

just been very hard at work with my latest creation. I decided to try and make a realistic clock. I am doing very well so far. I rushed the texturing abit though but the shape is near perfect. I might go back and redo some bits just so i can be even more satisfied with it.

It looks neat but it isn't 3D. The buttons are too flat, and ... there are jaggies.

Otherwise I like it.

Milkdrop · 03-23-2004

cheers dude, they wernt really meant to be buttons they were more like just screen imprints but hey, i'l go away and change that.

I will now go away and render it in a much higher anti-aniliasing setting thank you.

Its a nice model 5-0. As S2F says, though, the jaggies are very noticable. Oh, and i don't think it would be too stable with the bezel at that angle from the base - its usually a bit deeper. Or maybe thats just the angle of the render? Sometimes its very hard to tell...

BTW, I have some key-graphics from the keyboard I recently used for the Voxpro project. You are quite welcome to them if you like - just drop me a MSG.

well i just gt rid of all the jaggies. i also started to texture the clock as well. Its looking far nicer. I also corrected the icon problem on the buttons. It looks ,much cleaner now. I will continue to work on this one. If you see a problem just tell me in this thread. I want to get this thing perfect.

update

c&c also wanted for this one, lol

OoOOOh, looking much better! Now just add a more realistic glass shine to the cover over the main LCD, and some minor details on the back-plane, and you'll be onto a winner!

Milkdrop · 03-23-2004

Thanks alot dude,

i shall continue to improve this as much as i can. Yeah i agree the LCD does need to be abit more shiny, but the joy is this will be an animated clock so the time will be able to change. If i can find a tutorial on action scripting for realsoft

ConceptualMind · 03-23-2004

Yeah! That's what I'm talking about now. It's looking very good.

Milkdrop · 03-23-2004

yeah cheers, i shall update it again tonight and make sure all the surface effects are present

thumbs up, pretty good. So far m0g and s2f have said everything that has needed to be said. So i'll just say:

Milkdrop · 03-24-2004

i did alot more work on it today. This is what stage i am up to now. Its looking better every time.

the reflections went rotten, in my opinion. It looks like it's transparent.

ConceptualMind · 03-24-2004

Whoa, way too transparent. I can see the wood grains through the clock. Is that intentional? Also, there's a shadow going every direction. ¿o.O?

Milkdrop · 03-25-2004

you are very correct, now that i come to think about it, that is one hell of a shiny bit of wood lol. i shall keep it just on a white floor and work on some major problem parts.

ConceptualMind · 03-25-2004

If there was some brushed alumimum desk or granite counter-top it might look pretty neat. Also, the left two squares on the clock seem crooked. I just noticed that, is that me?
