FIN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, it's not as finished as I would like it to be, but I've spent enough time on it that I've pretty much added all I wanted too. I'm missing the bottom of the DS, the L/R cut out text and the power lights. Everything else should be about right, or at least I hope.

 

 

 

Might do some other colors of it later and make a mock up advertisement with them. Kind of rushed this in the end though because I want to work on another , more creative, project. Not sure if I'm doing it yet, but if I do I plan to include terragen work (landscapes) and 3D studio max.

 

 

 

Comment away :)

Still posting here though to keep track of the progress, and in case I need help.

Looks good so far I think. You've all ready listed everything that's wrong with it... What kind are you doing, the Lite or regular? Because I'm pretty sure the Lite ones don't come in gray...

 

 

 

Do you plan to put anything on the screens?

The lite that is right next to me. :) Eventually it'll be black, right now textures are temporary.

 

 

 

 

 

And I'll probably end up putting a game on the screen, I've managed to do it before with a monitor I modeled. Not sure what game yet. :P

If you put a game, put Pokemon! Looking good so far though, quite realistic. Nice work!

Good solid starting shapes at the moment nad :D

 

 

 

Look forward to final result

Looks great so far. You've already pointed out what you have to add so no real C/C.

 

 

 

Can't wait to see the final design.

 

 

 

Put FFIII or IV on it :D

Working on the bottom of it a bit, all Boolean stuff.

 

 

 

WIP 2:

 

Dammit, you extrude so perfectly. The one I made in blender a week ago was [cabbage].

Getting there! Like the volume button :D

 

 

 

Keep it up

The lowest border of DS is kinda different to the actual DS. The GameBoy Game Pak slot is to the end of the DS. Otherwise it would be very hard to take to slot out.

The volume bar is too slim, the DS itself is too thin. Is this the new DS model? "DS anorexia"? Other than that it's a good start :thumbup:.

Looks good to me and as you said yourself make the edges rounder.

No, it isn't too slim. It is exactly the size of the DS Lite.

Here are some corrections I made.

 

(I'm not trying to break it down, just pointing it out)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Below: Perspective doesnt seem right, it would make sense if it had the size of a building.

 

(I hope you see what I mean with the little vertical lines)

 

 

 

-Buttons are a bit too low, could be a bit higher

 

 

 

-Upper bar above the screen could be thicker.

 

 

 

Good luck finishing it. :)

-Upper bar above the screen could be thicker.

 

No it shouldn't. Original DS actually has it wider.

I do think I have it a bit too slim still, I'll fix that. Proportionally it should be correct though, the width is set to that of the actual DS (based off an image I found).

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for all the help so far guy's. And yeah, I know it's supposed to be rounded -- just trying to think how to go about that. A mesh smooth really [bleep]s it up. :P

WIP 3 is up. Only problem is that the holes I made for speakers don't show up at all of the angles... wonder if that is more of a texture issue or not though.

 

 

 

 

 

WIP 3:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also made some brand new buttons :P . And hopefully the DS is a bit fatter now, keeping in mind it's a lite and not phat.

WIP 4 up, big thanks to ven for helping me with the edges. (chamfer ftw) :thumbup:

 

 

 

WIP 4:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The speaker holes disappearing at odd angles is still a problem. I'll wait for texturing to see if it happens more though, worst case scenario I can photoshop those in. :lol:

 

 

 

edit: looks like I forgot the back of the DS, oops. that'll be fixed in wip 5.

Oh god, I really like the Wip 4!

 

 

 

It really looks like the real thing, from all the buttons to the screens. Keep it going! :thumbsup:

Very nice nad :)

 

 

 

Looking stylish, all i can say is keep it up!

Thanks guys. :D

 

 

 

Next I'm going to be doing the L/R buttons, mic hole and the LED lights for power.

Looking great at the moment, I bet it'll look even better with lights etc.

WIP 5:

 

 

 

 

Decided to try and see what a game would look on it. Still not finished, I just need to do the back and finalize textures and stuff. Almost done. :thumbsup:

WIP 6:

 

 

 

 

The majority of the modeling is now complete. All I have now is textures, lighting setup and fixing any problems it has. Also have to do the bottom of the DS.

 

 

 

Almost done! :thumbsup:

Haha, that looks awesome. You actually did model the game yourself?

 

 

 

Nice work. No real flaws in it that I can see at first glance :thumbsup:
