Not another computer..

Started building a computer case… I know… done a million times over in blender, but when you can’t afford a good computer, it’s nice to dream…

So I did my first render last night… and still not happy with the materials… I believe picking colors and materials is not my greatest strength when it comes to making stuff… I tried to use one of those… Color Circle pickers… but… I don’t think it turned out very well… Deep down I am more of an engineer than a artist…

I would love to get anyone input on any ideas for better colors or materials for the tower… Thanks a bunch…



This render took about 4 hours on my laptop…

So… Not wanting to wait I did a lower sample version of just the side…


Try going for a mix of black and white glossy.As for the shape, some sport cars can work great as reference to steal some nice curves from.Also use other cases for reference as well.

Take a look at “Extra Guys” threads, he has also modeled some PC components.
