Description Heres a new shot of my Glass Concept Keyboard im currently working on...

Its W.I.P, so the image will proberly change each time i have made some more on it

EDIT:
I changed the texture on the keys.
So now im almost done with the keys and only miss the windows logo and maybe some minor adjustments, so now its time for the body !

Changed the angel of the camera and added DOF

Mmm, I'm really liking this one. I was thinking along the same lines as *roren001 with embedding it in a custom desk. Very executive-like. I wonder what glass keys are like to press.

Damn... Cracking a key on that executive glass keyboard desk would cost a lot.

Oh my god... this would look so great on my desk!
But I just have to critisize some things...^^

- At some keys it's hard to read what's written on it!^^
- And the background should be something white and not a soft pink in my opinion!^^
- Isn't rendered very well??

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

Zortje In reply to Xentri [2007-07-11 02:11:30 +0000 UTC]

Yey, love critisisme, even tho i dont know how to spell it

- Yeah, working on some new textures to make the keys more "readable"...
- Yep, its a kinda old render and i learned alot since, so when i got the texture cleared up you will see a smooth white render
- Again, its a old render... a new one is coming soon

Xentri In reply to Zortje [2007-07-12 02:10:40 +0000 UTC]

Ok great to hear that!

You could make a texture which looks like glass but say it3's the transparent material of a rubber ball.

*just a joke... or maybe it isn't xD*

Zortje In reply to Xentri [2007-07-12 02:20:20 +0000 UTC]

Didnt quite understand that one

Mickey-Mouse In reply to Zortje [2007-07-12 05:02:52 +0000 UTC]

I think he meant if you chose a material like rubber, you wouldn't get such a glare on it, but since you want it to look like glass, you make it transparent. Hence giving it the effect of glass, but with more of a matt finish.

Alhadis [2007-07-10 08:54:08 +0000 UTC]

... that thing wouldn't last two seconds on my desk. xD

I get frequently frustrated, and I type extremely quickly and frequently, so it'd either be smashed to bits accidentally, or worn down and cracked so my fingertips have more cuts than an emo in a razor factory. <_<;

I can certainly tell you I've broken too many mice purely by accident without even meaning to... I guess I'm just that frustrated by technology at times (and BTW, nice render. Wouldn't it be cool if there were a Procedural map for Rich Text so that we wouldn't have to keep editing external files everytime we needed to change the text on an object's surface? <_< Gotta wonder why Discreet never bothered to think of that. o0)

... I would, but I have to use a Proxy connection from home, due to my father's paranoia that I'll bankrupt our bandwidth again like I did once before. o0; It regulates what I can and can't do over the Internet: meaning that all online activity can only be conducted through one program, which is Micro$oft Internet Exploiter. @_@; A real pain in the arse when I'm working on web sites at home which need to be tested using multiple browsers. o0

zipper [2007-07-10 00:20:32 +0000 UTC]

i think u should go with transparent keys and non transparent letters on them instead of black bacground to non transparent keys it would look so cooler and add cautiscs aswell now finish the body nice idea i also did keyboard when i was starting playing with 3d i would never get the patience needed now lol

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

Zortje In reply to zipper [2007-07-10 00:27:40 +0000 UTC]

So completly trasnparent keys? and metal letter?

Working on the body, tho i cant get it right, well maybe iยดll get it right soon so i can get over with this keyboard...
yeah theres alot of repeating on a keyboard

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

zipper In reply to Zortje [2007-07-10 00:40:20 +0000 UTC]

yeah texturing keyboard is pain not sure if u should use metal letters but make them non transparent in some way. plastic? maybe just less transparent less glossy plastic? well ask ur imagination and dont forget the caustics

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

Zortje In reply to zipper [2007-07-10 00:45:51 +0000 UTC]

Well iยดll figure out how to do em

zipper In reply to Zortje [2007-07-10 00:49:25 +0000 UTC]

if ure using vray u can come to me im quite hardcore vray user these days and for the body i think the best way to go is poly modeling some mesh smoothed object

Zortje In reply to zipper [2007-07-10 00:57:40 +0000 UTC]

Ohh.. you shouldnt have said that, iยดll spam you day and night about it

Yeah, thought that too, just need to find a cool shape, dont wanna be like any other keyboard, but not way to unique...

zipper In reply to Zortje [2007-07-10 01:02:31 +0000 UTC]

ahh make it unique then its fun to see breakin out of conventional designing yet still rendering so its looking like it could be biuilt anyway good luck
