This is a very unknown computer

I have been modeling since 2018 with a 2 year hiatus. I had almost no experience on blender but I had watched and completed many tutorials , NOT the guru, for Me, the best for beginners and then some is TUTOR4U, so Thanks to that great teacher. In 2018 I completed first my fisher recorder and then the ps4, I guess it turned out well enough. Long story short, everything I modeled I have done with emotion and pleasure except 2 or 3 works I wont tell, but I waited until I have some tricks under my sleve to some day try to produce something that could transmit how much I love and remember Commodore computers, I do not know if I will succed but I will try hard for this to be My best work till now. So at this point I will stop uploading WIP renders. I guess this is about 40 percent completed, lots of shaders and meshes are still pending.
Bye friends!

Looks a lot like Amiga. I had Amiga 500.

Looks more like a C64 to me. Need to see the final colouring of the keys.

First thought was Amiga 500, but that computer is too well known. In fact there is a whole community of retro gamers that love the Amiga 500, so it can’t be the Amiga 500.

I think it’s the C64C, which was a re-design of the C64. When it came out, the 8-bit computer was on it’s way out. 16-bit computers where the next big thing.

Anyway, that’s my thinking,

Oh,come on, the clue is in the name C64 - it was a 64 bit computer before they existed :wink:

For the record, I went from Spectrum to A500 to A1200 to a heavily expanded A1200 with '060 and CGX gfx card, IDE drives, a Zorro 2 daughter board, all hacked into a cut up and rebuilt tall tower case.

Yes, I’ve been around the home computer block. In fact, for a while (on a 33K modem) I installed and used Debian 2.2 - that was a chore. Downloading the OS, and updates over night. My posts communicating with the dev are still out there if you know where to look.

At first glance I thought it was a C-64 :eyes:
I hope you play with colours, keys should have a different colour :grimacing:

Hi there @Georgeart,
What I normally recommend doing with a WIP thread, instead of editing the first post create multiple posts. That way yourself and other BA users can look back on the progress.

Thanks withers 99!, I will follow your advice. :smile:
What I dislike about that approach is that the latest post are always at the bottom, somehow I think it would be better if newer post appeared at the top along with an updated thumbnail in the main artwork page.

You might dislike it, but pls realize that this is how people read threads here. When I see an image at the top of the post - in a thread I’ve read previously, I never stop to see “oh, is this a new/replaced image”?

I think at this point is very clear You are very right, it is a C64c, personally I like this much better than the original, maybe because the very first c64 I had was defective and when we returned it they gave us this newer model that never failed. So yeah roken was kinda right too.
