Im doing a small project for my cousin. A slightly redesigned Gamecube. I was going to model a regular gamecube but figured id put a slight twist on it, not much of one but i figured why not. Critz and comments are welcome. This is the start.

I guess its not a total redesign, im just changing things to make it look cleaner and nicer. Such as the petruding parts on the top of the gamecube. The button is actually on a slight semicircle petrusion but instead I just placed the button into a circular slot which made it look better to me. Im just adding and messing around with random things to make it look nicer in my eyes!

AHah fair enough. Looks good. Last render was a bit noisy though. Are you using MR?
