800XL 3D rendering

Just saw this on ABBUC. Pretty impressive.

 

No idea if the placement and values of the resistors is correct on the internal flythrough.

 

Shame there's no panning or other effects of the overhead view later in the demo, but I get the feeling it's just a flat surface projection produced from a photo.

Hello,

 

thank you for mentioning my 800XL animation. This a complete Blender 3d Model, not just a simple projection. I decomposed a real machine into single pieces and modeled everything by hand. The project took about four years (with some breaks).

 

You find some more details in my blog about the whole project: http://des-or-mad.net/blog/artikel/wip-3d-atari-800xl.html (Sorry, it's only available in german.)

 

In the next few days all 3d models will be released under Creative Commons Attribution - ShareAlike.

 

 

Greetings,

Oliver

Hello,

 

thanks for the comments.

 

@Marius1976: Right, it's the PAL version and the resistors should match the real hardware. This applies to all electronic components like capacitors, inductors, transitors and so on. I used two boards as reference and removed all components from one of them.

Nice!

 

It would be cool to see it from an electron's point of view. Make the components semi-transparent and fly around inside the circuit traces and component leads. Of course, you might have to model a chip die or two (maybe you could borrow from the Virtual 6502).
