A 3D version of a classic controller.I remember playing super mario bros 1 & 3 with this thing.
Gonna make the NES console with it soon
Edit: here's the console and a NES toaster!

Nicely done! I'm wondering what program you used to make this... Bryce? Something of that nature? Either way, on to the rating.
The controller is down-pat perfect, and all the measurements and ratios are fit to the original, which I will commend your effort towards doing. The lighting on it looks great on every outstanding button and feature, and the texture on the black backing looks very close to the real thing. However, if I may nitpick a little bit, there's a few things that set this apart from what it's based off of: The D-pad's edges need to be sharper, and the red color used on the words and buttons needs to be a more pure, crimson red (I'm not sure what color you used, but it looks more red-orange than pure red in this light and perspective).
Either way, this is a great piece of work and I expect no less if not better for the console itself! Keep up the good work!

Hey there,
First of all, thanks a bunch for the critique!
I'm glad the measurements look good enough, i just guessed them. It's an advantage i played with them quite some time though
Now you mention the d-pad, i see that it's wrong. I used a reference photo, but apparently it was a overly used controller because they were way more rounded of then the controllers in good condition. Good point though!
The same goes for the color. I used a color sample from the reference as material color. I even adjusted it a bit more to red, but compared to a new controller it seems quite orange indeed. I can remember that my own controllers were a slight bit of orange aswell though 
Thanks again for the critique, by now i've also finished the console itself, hope that is is more spot on then this controller!

You're very welcome! It's my pleasure to critique on things like this. It makes me happy to know that there's somebody other than me that really works hard to make their work judgeable to the public. x3
I guess it'd make sense that you'd be so good at making it if you grew up with it! I can understand if you'd need a reference, though, but just make sure that the colors are spot on before you try them on something like this. That's not to say that this isn't a good piece of art, but just keep that in mind for future reference!
And you're welcome! I can't wait to see what you've created!

I checked on a few other old controllers and they turned out to be heading for the orange tone aswell due to the amount of playing 
The console turned out a bit better i guess, i used a few more references because i can only remember it vaguely so i hope it's more accurate
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh, I gotcha. Well, I suppose it'd be accurate in terms of an oldschool controller, then.
Okay, then! Sounds good!
And btw, I already looked at it. It looks fantastic! I'll have a critique for it by around 11pm, my time, if you'd like.

Haha
Awesome, glad you like it aswell!
Yeah that would be great, if you want show me a piece of yourself which you would maybe like some critique on, then i can take a look at it if you want
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes I am!
That's great! As a matter of fact, I'm almost done writing a headcanon-based fanfic, and when it's done, I was hoping to get some critique about the story. I'll let you know when it's finished!

Great looking piece. Would def agree with the top crit about the colors and d-pad. Totally reminds me of the days I used that indestructible piece of gaming bliss that I could never destroy

I think the "dips" on the button could be more evident. Also, I'm not sure but the buttons look slightly orange. And finally, it needs sone Cheetos/Doritos crumbs with some sweat-mixed-with-dirt-type of gunk. Hahhh, brings back memories.

Do you mean the arrows, or on the red buttons?
Yeah, on the images i gathered they look red but with a slight bit of orange into it somehow, but it might be too orange now, i'll adjust it soon
Yes, i'll try to add some when i add the console and some games to the scene

Oh, sorry, I just remember the red buttons having an indent/bowl-like shape. I could be thinking of the snes controller though. Awesome work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The Snes had a bit of a curve outwards and the NES just has a flat surface

nice, but maybe it will be better if the controller lie on the ground.
addtionally the ground should has nice colors. SNES colors or 8-bit things.
by the way , good work , fave !

Yeah, this is just the pre-render for the final scene with the console itself, and maybe some games 
Thanks a bunch

i know but snes is the first thing i ever had
-give a little kid a crappy system (snes) that barley saves your super mario bros game and he'll be there forever (mine always went back to the fourth world, never saved even when i played 7 hours straight and got near the end)
