Freshly Baked Weekly Challenge 11 - Dragon Frame Keypad

CGC Modeling Challenges
Wes Burke

I've been seeing many stylized and realistic keyboard renders lately. This inspired me to dig through my cabinet to find the Dragon Frame Keypad I used while diving into Stop-Frame Animation. 

It was harder to get a side profile reference, so apologies in advance, I feel you can get a sense of the shape from the perspective photos. You're encouraged to mimic the keypad or put your creative take on materials/rendering on what your perfect keypad would look like. :) 

I challenge you to create this 100% in Blender.

Share your results, tips, and tricks along the way below. If you have a finished piece, add it to the gallery for a chance to be featured!

    my version of the keyboard.

     I don't know, the keys still look different. I am satisfied, the first time I have simulated dust. The icons on the keys were actually a challenge in Paint haha

    I just finished the keypad design! I experimented a lot with different lighting setups to get the reflections just right. The video even has an advertisement style—check it out! It was challenging, but I'm happy with the results. Thanks for the challenge, CG Cookie!
