A Spectrum of Pyra Renders

[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.

looks like caramel...mmh, sweet.

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?

Wow thanks Neelix .. I'm loving the safety orange, I hope I can get someone to make a case like that for me one day ..

You're welcome.

Black transparent like the Revo K101 Plus i have now


Its looks realy cool and you can see the PCB which would serve the Modular design of the Pyra quite well..


But Green, Blue or Black would also be cool..

 

[ibisum]

I'm seriously lusting after the safety orange model .. I can't get over how great it looks.  As someone who loses his Pandora at least once a month, that'd be a real bonus!

 

[Neelix]

I can see how that might be useful.


-Neelix

 

[FaeMinx]

I must say, that original safety orange is growing on me.


I think i would even choose it over black!


I hope someone goes ahead and makes it as a prototype colour...


Do we have a list of top picks yet?

 

[Neelix]

Of the images that I posted the "sparkly" charcoal/gunmetal version got by far the most "likes". (13 or 14 if I recall correctly) 


I can't speak as to the popularity of any colours posted by others though.

[oxym]

I acknowledge that some colors are looking nice (like "post apocalyptic rust" or "safety orange"), but considering occasions at which I'd be using Pyra  I'd more likely select some more casual color scheme ("sparkly charcoal" is a good example)

Yup, that one's still my favorite.  Not that the Safety orange looks bad, but I don't think it compares to the charcoal/gunmetal one.
