A Spectrum of Pyra Renders

[levi]

I don't think anyone's seriously planning to make a call on this thing without using a headset of some sort.

Maybe as a speakerphone?

Maybe, but that'd need some serious work on noise cancellation I guess.

deep dark purple in a dark room - Mr Loon

Please sign me up for two if the Pyra is released in this colour - very nice renders.

 

[Silent-Hunter]

I want mine in C64 brown!

 

[Da Dude]

Pyro porn man, I would lika a Purple one, or just completely Chrome hahahaha

Can someone do a render with Safety Orange?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_orange

 

[Neelix]

Hrm..  Safety Orange turns out to be a lot darker than I'd thought,  if the colour code on that wiki page is correct.

How's this?

not bad!

Though I like it, all those funky flashy colors make it look to much as a toy imo. I would be fine with that if I would only use the Pyra in my spare time but as it will be a machine I will have with me at work too, I hope it will turn out to be something less flashy in the end.

Hmm. I'm liking the orange... Can you make it darker?

I.e. How dark does it have to be before the orange stops looking like a toy and starts looking like a premium device?

Perhaps the appeal of the orange will be lost if it isn't as bright as this, but I would like to see...

 

[levi]

Dark orange is just brown, surely?  We've already had a few brown renders, and they do look quite good (although I personally think dark grey looks more natty).

 

[Neelix]

Orange does tend to turn brown when darkened.  

That said,  What do you think of this?   It's the same Hue and Saturation as the Safety Orange but is considerably darker.

WOW!

I am loving these images!

The first one shown, the transparent case one, is so nice looking, I would like that one, with some LEDs blinking through I think is a great look.

The Beige one is very nice too.

Two questions...

1] Did the buttons issue ever get decided on already, or still under debate somewhere? I've seen the recent Xbox One pad with the dots in middle and that looks pretty nice, minimal, still including some colour coding along with the symbols/letter

2] Where can I get the renders which it seems everyone is using to knock up these colour schemes? Guess you need to have Blender or something to do it with.

All looking very nice though

Erico was kind enough to create some multi-layer PSD files which make it really easy to manipulate the colour of the render in GIMP or Photoshop.  See Here. 

Have fun!

Here is my C64 emulation beast

 

[levi]

Ah, if only different colours on the keymat were possible.  Food for ideas about replacement keymats that can be built down the line of course.

What a pity that it's only got 64 Kilobytes of ram and you have enough time to have your tea while it loads games.

I believe for authentic emulation, this 'feature' definitely needs to be added.

I have to say the orange controls really don't appeal to me at all,   but since you asked for it...


-Neelix

thanks but I had a darker orange in mind...

Orange does tend to turn brown when darkened.  


That said,  What do you think of this?   It's the same Hue and Saturation as the Safety Orange but is considerably darker.

try to increase red, I got a real nice (at least in my opinion) dark orange tone mixed with a dark purple on my Halo Reach Multiplayerarmor

 

[Neelix]

like so?
