My Favorite Toy Challenge -babbel
 

Hello everybody,

So I know it is a little bit late, but I really want to participate. It's my first 3D competition, and I just tought it would be interesting to participate and I would learn a lot, because I'm a beginner;..
So I had some problems to find a good idea, but I finally got one on thuesday. I had only one day to create this because I'm really busy these weeks...
I got for my birthday a long time ago, a game boy color, and I played hours and hours on it, and in my opinion, it is still one of the best game consol...
It took me about 8 hours (Modelling, texturing, lighting, rendering)
If I more free time I'll continue to work on it...
Thank you for any advices, comments...

Here a "quick" render...

Welcome. I think you need to bandsaw some corners and make smoother flat areas.
Good luck!

Thank you for the advice lightmod !
I've just smoothed some areas, like you told me, and I'll render it this afternoon...

You are right, babbel ! Gameboy is the best game console ever, i remember playing pokemon on it.

Can't wait to see that render,
Floris

mate for a beginner thats bloody good! keep at it mate...

cheers bullet

And here is finally my final render...
I know it is far from the perfection :) , but it was very funny to make!!
I saw that we had 3 days more time to work on it, so perhaps I'll make some changes...

Background/scene and everything looks good. The materials on the GameBoy itself are looking a little flat, maybe increase the spec some, see if you can't it to pop a little more.

Nice model, and overall, looks quite nice.

I agree with Warlock, some specularity won't hurt; other than that great job :)

Thank you for the avices and for your encouraging words !
I've just rendered it a seconde time, and add some color filters to get a different look...

Much sharper looking model. Congrats on the finish!
