Quick-Crit 2008-2009

Put a couple scratches and a couple dirt/dust specks (around the edges) on the screen. Also, have you tried making the little scratches on the metal surface shiny and not black? It would look more like metal that way and would suit the nice soft specular you've got on it.

edit:
what would look cool is the blurred reflection of a marines on the screen, like he's standing over it. "whoa!"

And the letters need the pixel-e look to, so that you can see each little line thing.

that's an obscene amount of detail you're asking for

Almost done with this bugger. Any final suggestions before I do the final with post-processing and the like? And before anyone asks, yes, the JAF is my signature but not for my checks you degenerate scum immoral people. :p

Also Huero, I did end up trying that scanline look, but it actually took away from the piece so I'm gonna go with the original look instead.

That's beautiful. Can I get that in 1600x1200 or widescreen?

I'd love it as a background too once you do your final render and post-processing

I'll be rendering it at 1920x1200 and 1920x1080 later on. I'll do my best to attempt a full-screen version. I'll try to do the pixels, but no promises, and I'll give it a shot with the shiny scratches.

Oh, and the keyboard now looks... out of place. I don't know why or how, but it does; just putting that out there.
like i did with my dick

Not sure if I care for how pixels look on this particular piece, but the lighter scratches seem to be doing a good job. Gotta tweak their intensity still.

the buttons might look better with a bit more shape to them (like laptop keys), and slight shine around their convex edges.

edit: look's great, not sure whether I like the lines or the pixels more though... (combination? :x)

Ignoring the "CBA to let it render" part of that. Is the convex on the bottom right kinda what you're thinking of?

yeah, exactly
