Pokedex

Hi Everybody, As it's the year of Pokemon becoming 20 I'll make some more Pokemon stuff this year.

Hehe, grat ! Have you create a board reference with pinterest ?

JasonV

Not really with pinterest, I've searched some pictures of the first season where they show the pokedex and pasted them in Photoshop

These are the ref pictures I used to make the sculpt, at this moment I am making a retopo but posting that progress seems a bit boring in my opinion. Soon as it's ready to bake the maps I'll post it.

Retopo done, time to unwrap, bake and stick it back together

Unwrapping and baking done, time to make the texture

Since it seems like and item that would be displayed close to the screen I think you should have a few more polygons in the areas which are currently a bit pointy, such as the buttons, the camera thingy, and the corners on the left part.

JasonV

Thank you Maxilator, I'll look into it.

Sam Leheny

Well I'm looking at it and I want one, so that's a good sign;D

JasonV

added the feedback and gave the buttons more shape and the corners of Dexter.

Looks great overall.

To push it further:
-The bottom left rounded corner has some odd artifacting, looks like an issue in the normal causing shading issues.
-This depends on your goal for this piece, perhaps add some roughness variation to break up the surface a bit. Very faint could go a long way.
-Perhaps adding a faint, very faint, normal noise could make this look a bit more like textured somewhat rough plastic.
-Maybe pick a cooler toned environment to render this in, or perhaps a warmer environment.
-Lastly I would most definitely make the large glass orb on the top left an emissive with high reflectivity.

Looking solid. I think some gloss variation would really move this towards being more photoreal

Usually with hard plastics that get handled a lot, you see oil deposits on the surface where the fingers are typically in contact, making things duller or shinier. Some good examples: 1 2 3

Also think about microscratches and fingerprints on the glass parts, again mostly in the gloss: 1 2

JasonV

Thx for the feedback! I'll look into it!

Yuri

Wow. It looks amazing, Jasonv. 

Great job! How much time did you spend making this?

JasonV

Thx Yuri! I haven't really counted the time I've worked on this one. I didn't work on it every day, but when I had some spare time +- 30 min a day I've continued this piece

Joopson

Love it! Makes me want to make one, haha.

JasonV

Thx Joopson, I appreciate that

Maxilator

Looks way better now, the one thing that might push it a bit further would be to add some glow and emissive to the screen so that it looks back-lit, looks a bit like a piece of paper behind a matte glass screen right now to me.

JasonV

I forgot to increase my emissive power again after working on it in UE4
