Gameboy Advance SP

ScottHoneycutt

I'm making a Gameboy Advance SP. I got the "hint hint" to do this project after I posted a pic on facebook of my own Gameboy Advance SP being broken.

Here is the high poly. All crits are welcome. My biggest concern is having well defined materials in the end.

the only thing that really stood out for me is how deep you made the indentations for the buttons. should be an easy fix

Grubber

Nice, clean modeling! Good work

Good catch, I was feeling I would need to fix that myself. What happened was the top button for the backlight power is accurate. Then I cloned that groove over to the other areas which don't need to be as deep.



Here's a wireframe of the high poly. Keep in mind that this is only for a bake so N-gons are fine as long as they show in the bake (which can be tested by rendering). The curved areas are the most sensitive parts of the mesh and should be treated as higher priority than the flat surfaces, which are an ideal place to put your mugliness.

Here are the low poly wire and the bake:

nice work, brings back memories of my first job at EB games, sitting in the back room playing one of these. the bake looks like it came out fairly clean.

Oh wow! This is looking absolutely amazing, makes me want to go look for my gba sp to play on. The detail on this is absolutely amazing!

Here are the first material tests.

Looking good so far. If you can get the materials all looking right this could end up looking amazing

Thoughts on the materials? I'm using Substance Painter. The height decals were made in Photoshop in black and white and used as brush alphas. The stickers were made in Photoshop.

Damn, I like this! I love the detail. And the material looks real nice. True to how it actually looks.
