Very nice so far Tea_Bag :) I would add just tiny fillets mostly on the foot and some of the knobs, would make a difference when rendered I think.

Nice work Tea_Bag, it's looking good and as Max says the step by step images look great. This is almost turning into a tutorial! And I think you've bagged a couple more Solidworks users along the way!

Hey,

@JCaddy - hehe! I cant wait to get to the rendering stages so doing as much as I can!

@Mihai - Good idea Mihai how could I forget that! It does make a difference as the plug render I did months ago look much better when adding the tiny fillets! Thanks for the reminder! Thanks for the comments!

@oz42 - I'm glad your liking the WIP! The desk, notice board I'll probably not show the step for step, but on the harder models I Will continue showing step for step. Thanks for the kind words!

Took a top view picture of the keyboard and imported into Solidworks setup the right scale, use the spline tool and here is the sketch result

Image
Traced Main Keys and extruded,chamfer

I do realise that I could of used Displacement for the keys but as I dont have the fastest Pc in the world I'm trying to reduce using displacement to enable better render times and besides I will already be using a displacement material for the suede curtains :) hehe! Had to include it somewhere!

Just a question, how does that tidy up sketch work? You draw a curve....and then you cut the old curves you used for the extrude with it? I mean it can be done thanks to the history stack in SW? Or did you use some other technique?

Thanks Max! :) Good critic to I agree as Mihai prompted me too bout the fillets and chamfers on the edges :oops: Thats been done now to all I've modeled. As for more detail? that regard the modeling detail?

@Mihai - Tidy up sketch doesn't exist in SW I Just called it that so you could see whats been done :) I drew a sketch over the top and extruded it down to fill 3mm of the edge. Which is then merged. Hopefully I've answered your question :)

@Will - Its fun I tell you! :wink:

@ Mihai - Whats really handy bout SW is that when drawing anything or any feature you can delete,suppress or Hide it at any stage of drawing. Example I can go back to the speaker cone and change the diameter and it will update in assembly mode.
