Free 3D models of SA Profile key caps
« on: Mon, 30 November 2015, 06:56:35 »
Hello there, I spent some of my weekend putting together a set of 3D models for the Signature Plastics SA profile



They're built from scratch in Inkscape (to plan out the geometry), OpenSCAD (to programmatically create the 3D models) and blender, to put them in a usable 3D scene.

I still need to do some fine tuning, as more OCD readers will agree. However I'm releasing them today, and hope they'll be useful to people in our lovely keyboard enthusiast community.

Hope you enjoy.

Great work, this makes me want to design a set just so I can view those sweet renders.

Excellent!

But you should have posted it here :p
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
