Well, I decided to stop the ship model for a bit and did the SEGA Master Sytem. Still have a bit of modeling to do and the controllers.

I thought the same as mike at first, but I'm looking at it on a brighter monitor now and it does have a bit more detail. I dont think your lighting is really picking it up though (i know it's hard with black plastic!!) user added image

Get some controllers and cables in there and I'm sure it will help the scene greatly!

I will add the controllers in the next day or so. I always have a tough time with black plastic, personally I think it is one of the toughest stuff to create.

My goal is to eventually model all the sega consoles.

- SEGA rocks and always will!

Any ideas for texturing the black. At the moment it's just a regular phong shader. The images are on layered shaders.

nintendo always kicks ass over sega!!!!!!

Although i did prefer sonic to mario.

Black plastic..... a phong by itself wont do it you need to add specularity maps etc just to pick out the details etc.

Good luck

Ps You should have done a dreamcast that way no black plastic!! user added image

i did own a dreamcast once, it was fun for a while but once they stopped making games that was it. I think that the PS1 and PS2 kick all of their asses XBOX and Gamecube.

I went through Coleco Vision, then Atari 2600, NES, SNES, Nintendo 64 ... and now thanks to an 8-years old brother, a Gamecube. Excellent buys each and every one of them.

Hahaha, i know a friend that built a atari when he was in university.. pretty cool user added image

. Anyways, for black plastic i suggest (probably already know this) make it not as black, more like a dark grey and make it an anistropic user added image

. Well, thats what i would do.. probably would come out not too nice anyways.. haha. I recently added an ambient light to my scene though, and brought it up and north west from my object, when i rendered it off it gave it a nice look.. maybe also try that user added image

. Just ideas. I will look around to see if i can find a black plastic shader
