Since this is my first MMC is decided to start with something relatively simple, the Geforce 6200TC. Updates of the WIP will follow in this thread. |

First render. Just started blocking out the positions of the various capacitors and such. |

Doh, that looks just like the old 6600 I was going to do... LOL ;)
Looking good, Hemulin. :) |

Looks good so far - but it's missing the screws that I usually drop inside the computer case when I try to install anything. :) |

More components added. I think most of them are there now. Have done a bit of work on the sockets, still have to add the metal part though. |

I always get suspicious when I see Hemulin turning out detailed models like this...too much free time? should I be setting him more work at school?...:rolleyes: |

Looks like you're giving Prodigy a run for his money in the speed department Hemulin! Nice work! :) |

I have currently stopped to read these forums whilst trueSpace is hanging (too many polys - going to have to start using layers and make things invisible :))
Thanks for all of the comments guys. |

More detail on the components
I decided to give you a 'real' render this time. ;) |

Looking good! You could do one of those new cards which are all encased in plastic making them easier to do as you can't see individual components any more ;)
Yes that spring coil thingy is good, I see tutorial requests for how that was made (starting with mine - how did you do that?)
Thanks!

I cheated. :rolleyes:
It's not a coil, its just rings copied multiple times round a 3/4 cylinder which has the centre booleaned out. Why make work for yourself! ;) |

I don't think that is called a 'cheat'...it's known as being creative and thinking outside the cube or perhaps a 'work around':) All i know is, it works and no little gray cells in the brain suffered in the process! go! hemulin! GO! |

I have been busy with work today :rolleyes: so haven't done anything though I will probably do some more tomorrow. Here is the most recent render from yesterday though. I still have to model the dvi/vga/s-video sockets and I am not happy with the shadering/lighting on a few things. |

Ok, I've had a few hours today to add a little more to this project. I've added the dvi/vga ports and backplate and I've changed the shader on the heatsink to try and make it looks more realistic. |

I'll be darn if that isn't a very nice modeling and texturing job. I've watched from the start and each step you made it better. Looks great! |

Thanks Steinie, I've got an interesting idea for a final presentation shot so I will post that in the next week or so. |

Looks great. Really nice modeling and some great texturing. The only thing that draws my eye is the plastic on the back of the sockets. They look a little flat and too new. Maybe a little more shine and some scratches would improve things.
Other than that, great work.

If you mean the yellow/blue socket casing things ;), I will probably add a bump map for the final render. |

Great work Hem.

Hey jamesmc, these are early days yet. I'm a student so I probably have a little more time than most to do this sort of thing (or maybe it's because I don't sleep ;). Don't judge just yet you still have loads of time to finish your project, and if you need any help with anything feel free to PM me. |
