Dell Inspiron mini 10-wip

Marian

Cupko's thread http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=30505 inspired me to try modeling my Dell netbook.
I hope my renders will look at least half as good as his.

So far,so good!

the model looks pretty good and since it's made on blueprints, you can bring some realism to it in some renders... better than those

Nope, If you mean the lid, I modeled it manually with the push pull and scale tool because the follow me tool didn't work so well on the smaller corners, the shape was too big and it intersected.

On most of the rest I used round corner and on the bottom I used soap skin bubble, unfortunately that shape is not as close to the real one as I would have liked, but works.

I have this model (the machine that is) and it's a great - albeit with 1Gb a little slow - netbook.

I agree on the slowness, but it's pretty powerful for what it is, plus it's so damn cute .
And I can even render on it, sort of, it takes around 4-5 hours to render some scenes, which takes 40 minutes on my desktop, but in a jam it's ok.

Good work, Marian! Actually, I'm more satisfied that you started to render more often. Can wait to see the final result!
Succesuri!

update

Marian

Thanks Coen for the suggestions. I tried that app on the machine and it gave an error "Internal error" while showing just a small featurelss block on the screen.
I agree on the RAM, I'll have to keep that in sight, hope it's not too expensive. I think there were versions with SSD instead of HDD as I remember, but didn't buy one of those because they were more expensive and had less space than the HDD.

Update and some more renders.

olishea

nice, how about you turn the table and camera around so you get some nice reflections in it? model looks great, i love the clay renders, fantastic! they've got mass

Marian

Thanks Oli, I'll see what I can do.

Marian

You're right, I scaled the table too much. I realized it only after I finished rendering it.

Marian

Update time
I finally got around and finished the keyboard lettering. Now it looks more realistic.

Very nice Marian

The letters might be a tad too big.

Marian

Thanks Marcus.
Yeah they are a just bit too big, but like always I noticed it too late.
Oh well, i'll have to adjust them.

Looks great.

Marian

thank you Bryan.
