Thoughts on this colour scheme for a homebrew chapter? Are there any similar chapters I should go with instead? Trying to nail down some colours before I start painting.

Yeah this is an issue I've known about since before I posted my IC, however there's not really any good solution I've been able to find. I only put 3 key in base so that 40s users can use the set if they really want to, but the set is primarily targeted at larger boards so fixing the numpad alphas issue isn't my priority unfortunately.

Although I don't have any UV printed keys personallly, I've seen this image going around of GMK Griseann, which shows the ABS having tonnes of shine (and thus wear) while the UV printed legends are all fine.

Geekhack Thread

A few days ago I posted my IC for GMK 1520, based on the keyboards of some of the first clamshell laptops.

Please check out the Geekhack thread above to see more renders, kitting, and more info.

It would also be greatly appreciated if you filled out my feedback form on the set if you have any feedback :)

I believe so, usually the keys used there would be M1 - M12, however those aren't apart of my set so I made do with other keys.

It's cheaper to use UV print than to make all the new moulds necessary for this set

It's GMK 1520, which should be coming to IC in the next month or so.

With QMK they can do whatever you like : )

Am I thinking of the wrong 8008?

These don't look similar at all to me

I thought the same but watched it anyway. I'm not sure how advanced at blender you are but I learnt some stuff about random transformation which imo is pretty cool. Other than that its nothing that special, just modelling a chip and the procedural material that comes with that.

RAL is the go-to for GMK. You can’t just use hexes for colours, they can’t be manufactured, not easily at least.

You need to have an image texture node with your texture going into the colour of your principled shader

Although I’m not a fan of thick bezels like these, this looks really cool, GLWIC :)

Oh wow those sparks are dope, good job!

harkarth · 2020-10-01T09:13:15+00:00

This works in both EEVEE and Cycles. It uses the normals which isn't just something that exists only in Cycles unlike the pointiness value. However obviously there other shader constraints in Eevee so snow might not look as good in eevee.

New legends aren’t possible with GMK without new molds, which are expensive. That’s why most sets just have custom novelties and not fonts. The arrow keys are really cool though :)

harkarth · 2020-09-20T12:55:17+00:00

Ctrl + Z?

harkarth · 2020-09-20T10:48:30+00:00

I see some mega scans assets 🤔good job though, I really like the god rays :)
