A Spectrum of Pyra Renders


The dark grey looks WAY better then black. I loved the C64 beige also, but theres no question what I would choose, the transparent! Optimally I would want the transparent to be in red or blue tone, like the transparent blue PS2 from back in the days, but even colorless transparent would be better then opaque case to me.

I tried to do a white with pink highlights, but it did not come out as expected,
here it goes.

i also like the grainy textures, though i'm not sure if they will (like these other matte renders) translate into awesome looking Pyra's.  if it's possible, perhaps some of the prototypes will get graininess, so we could check if they're as cool as they look rendered :).

[edit] I also vote against any colored translucent casing.  if we're going translucent, make it clear.

I vote against any transparent or translucent casing at all: I expect that it would be distracting in real life, while also, perhaps, attracting too much attention.

In general, I am in favour of the darker colours shown, including black, dark red, the dark greys and that grainy one (assumingit would work out). I also like the deep (not dark) red, but am not sure about how it would turn out in reality.
 
Yay! Thank you, looks great !

I assume a render from blender would look even better.

I'm certainly enjoying this thread.

So far I'm all for any kind of dark grey or black. Usually don't like white in my gadgets but I love the contrast with the black keys when opened.

From the more "alternative" options my preferred one is the dark grey purpleish.
 
How's this?

This is exactly what I intended.  Looks perfect.


Hopefully this time around, this color gets used. (I suggested this for the Pandora's color back when it was still called "The Craiginator" on the forums)
I have to agree that this particular colour really appeals to me too.  Whether or not it's going to be available from our case company is another matter though.

I really like these gunmetal versions. if I remember correctly, ED wanted a similar color for the second version of the Pandora case, but it ended up being closer to silver
 
The point is, if we get a clear color like grey (or white) we can change the color. If we made a case black colored then we are only have black color.

I am going to autoquote me just to add this image:

If the plastic admit dye, then we can have our Pyra of what color we want.
I seem to recall ED saying that they were planning to add a transparent protective coating to the plastic. Said coating would probably preclude the use of dye to colour the plastic after the fact. (assuming I'm not misremembering that part)
