The "GameBoy" Project

Hi everyone, I have decided to create a WIP topic for me to add updates to regarding my “GameBoy” Project! I have never done one of these before so will be fun to share my progress and also to look back at after complete as I think I will be spending a great deal of time on.

So the “GameBoy” Project, well I have been a keen gamer since I could remember and my first ever handheld was the Nintendo Gameboy original, So I am going to test out my skills creating in 3d, but not just the look from the outside but all the components the internals of the gameboy, and create some renders of the device in an exploded parts view and also potential animation of this happening!!!

So it begins… First I dug out my old gameboy took reference photos and measurements and started creating a model sheet in illustrator. Which is my first update below.

Nice ! Make it look real good.

Hi everyone,

Just an update, I will have more model sheets to show soon for all the internals PCBs etc.

But I have also started on the modeling I seem to concentrate on sections at a time and do progressive modeling changing stuff as I go. I have a simple boxy complete mesh hidden, but thats just for size and basic curves etc.

The battery compartment is modeled and part of the back panel, lots more to do but just a quick update.

here is a few screenshots from the viewport
