Another Render (yeah... I Know...)

[gruso]

This is a nice touch, I don't know if it was intentional:

 

[MWeston]

Great job ED! I can't believe how fast you were able to get this done!

 

[icurafu]

This looks great guys. I think you've clawed back a lot of respect form the early renders. (Red? What were you thinking?)

 

[quartercast]

God damn, this is a masterpiece! I've changed my opinion. I think 3000 release units is nowhere near enough! Please, nobody tell your friends/family about this until I make my order! J/k... I think I'll have to buy my dad one though. With his money of course

Nice render ED, fantastic job

Well, just got the STL-files this afternoon from Fatih and couldn't resist to use them

 

[atomicthumbs]

Now all you need is 3 shift keys (left, right and top), control, meta, hyper, super, alt, altgr, command, option, and compose modifier keys, and Lisp Machine and SPARC emulators.

We need STL files too!

Fatih = case designer?

It's good to see that those O & P keys seem to be within easy reach if you're using the buttons to extend it to 6 functional face buttons if need be.

edit: I say this because if the "home" for your thumb is the 4 face buttons, it will feel more awkward (at least to me) to be reaching up for extra buttons rather than down. The original xbox controller is kind of annoying in that sense.

Nice work Ed, I'm constantly impressed with your rendering abilities. However, please lose the screws, they make the top part look horrid (or at least turn them black). I know the screws are not determined on the final model yet, but why kill a render with silver screws? Plus it'll only take you about five minutes to change it

With all due respect, that D-Pad LOOKS (I obviously haven't used it) sub-par (much worse than the one in the original renders). It reminds me kind of the D-Pad on the original, fat DS. Can you confirm whether or not that will be the final D-Pad?

Other stuff looks great, though.

No, not final.

Make sure the final D-pad gets a DaveC seal of approval :lol:

 

[craigix]

Actually Fatih isn't the case designer.

DaveC designed the Dpad.

 

[morgushong]

pretty sweet. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I didn't want them to be silver, I wanted them to be black... had a setting wrong.
Changing doesn't take long, but rerendering takes 20 - 30 minutes.
Will fix it with the next renderings

 

[quartercast]

DaveC designed the Dpad.

Well then, I expect it to be the best D-pad in the world! Didn't he design the case as well?

 

[Sphinxter]

Tissue please.

 

[God Ginrai]

The only thing I'm worried about is: Where's the TV-out?

I'm really wondering how TV-out is going to work on the pandora (plugs and such), and I'm not sure if I missed a topic somewhere explaining it or what.

Any light that could be shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and on another note. Do we know who the US Distributor will be and the URL for their website? I would like to know so that I can have it bookmarked for when pre-orders start.

My response to this new render (combined with the PSX speed news) is:

I want my freaking Pandora NOW damnit.

NOW.

 

[naples39]

Looks very nice.

It's clear people are never gonna be 100% satisfied with the dpad, but I think the designers and know what they are doing and have accounted for a great deal of user feedback on things. Given DaveC's work on fixing the GP2X dpad I think he'll get it right.

*phew* the relief! Please make it a 8-way d-pad, that's all I'm asking!
