Commodore 64 rendering
« on: March 03, 2011, 11:32:42 AM »
After a few years of no spare time I've taken up an old hobby of mine again - 3D modelling. Decided to go for making a render of my old trusty C64C. I'm a bit rusty and it's still a work in progress, but let me know what you think:

WIP rendering

I'm going to play around a bit with the lightning and the colours aren't quite correct...

But it sort of looks like a C64, I hope. ;)

The Software I've used is Softimage XSI

Only thing I'd say though is there is something about the colours used, seem a bit too "greyish" to me looking at the real C64c sitting beside me here... :)


Yeah, I agree. I'm going to give it a go with either changing the colours of the model or perhaps play with the lightning a bit. Or both. :D

Uploaded another version (but still grey) to the Gallery just now.

I could take a picture of a mint condition C64c that I have here (absolutely no discolouration) and post it here for you to compare the proper colour if you want... :)


Yeah, that would be great. The one I've got is seriously yellowed and not one key is the same colour as the other ones so that one is pretty rubbish to base anything regarding original colours on. ;)

Thanks Franko, I'll see if I can match the colours. :)

This thing is driving me slightly crazy. I'm changing the lightning, the colours, the brightness and I never seem to get anything good out of it. I've done so many versions now I don't even know what it's supposed to look like anymore.

Here's the latest attempt. Is it better than it was or is it worse?

I've added some cream to it. It's a bit better, right? :)

your gonna hate me for this


Hate is a strong word, how about a "slight dislike". ;)

I'm doing a new render in a while and I think I'm on to something now. :D

Sure, no problem! I'll attach two bigger version that you can use as you wish on your site. If you could link back to my blog (the one in the signature) where you place the images that would be great. :)
