Probably spend about 1 lunchtime a week messing around with it. We tend to have these ASUS gps pda machines lying around so despite the fact that this is not what normally interests me I thought I'd have a crack at modelling one and it came out ok. Granted the shape isn't that complex and I left off all the plugs and side inputs - I was bored by that stage! Now to think of some other things I can do with it.

I think I would atleast add a screen capture of the pda's screen Post by Burnart // Dec 3, 2007, 6:04pm Burnart Total Posts: 839 dandy image. I think I would atleast add a screen capture of the pda's screen I've been contemplating the screen - have a few ideas. ;) Post by rjeff // Dec 3, 2007, 6:18pm rjeff Total Posts: 1260 great..cant' wait to see!

I'll investigate some possibilities next lunchtime session - stay tuned. Post by Jack Edwards // Dec 3, 2007, 7:57pm Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 Nice work on the modeling and textures! I think a less saturated background would help present it better. :) If you want to put it on one of those way cool glossy show surfaces. You can add two planes beneath it, one for catching the shadow, and one for handling the reflection. Or composite two images. One with the shadow and one with the reflection. The trick here is that reflective surfaces tend not to show shadows, but you need both the shadow and the reflection to get that super glossy look. ;) Post by Burnart // Dec 4, 2007, 11:59am Burnart Total Posts: 839 If you want to put it on one of those way cool glossy show surfaces.
