Thanks for the advice. New to blender and using KRK's default lighting. Will look into it

Hi,

The colors mentioned in the RAL book does not really correspond to the renders. The renders are
1. too bright.
2. too noisy.

Hence even stock colors likes the black look way way different in the renders.

Please take your time to set up some good custom studio lightings and try to match the colors as close to the book as possible.
I know not everyone has a color calibrated screen, but try using different screens (desktop and mobile) to figure out differences.

Play with the some denoiser settings and do try to composite in photoshop.

I dont know how much you know but just putting it out there. If you feel that I am saying redundant things, I am sorry. Good luck!

I overall like this version of the set way better, good work on taking the criticism in stride and working on your set more. A point I think you can maybe do is make the alpha lettering the same as the novelties colors to tie the two together better.

I came to say this. Yeah I think it still needs some work to dial the colorway in, but edwyn has done a stellar job taking criticism, gathering feedback, and implementing actual changes. Keep going Ed  :thumb:

Re-did all the renders.  Do these look better?  Really appreciate you taking the time to let me know what the issues were

Is this "inspired" by the galaxy Foamposites?

Nah. The current colors are direct feedback I got here.  If it was the galaxy foamposites I would have made them purple as that's the main color of those shoes. Do hope to make shoe inspired sets again if the community gives me another chance

Do you mean make the alpha legends WS1 white ?

The top suggestion I have been getting on IC and reddit is to make the alphas and mods pair better. 
I have created 2 alternatives and made a quick poll to see which one you guys prefer.

I was really on-board with this set in the beginning, but seeing how it has devolved into a pseudo WOB, I feel like I have to object to calling it Galaxy, as it is now a waste of good name.

Call it "Space" instead, which is WoB.

Strangely translucent aren't polling as high as novelties on the IC form. Guess translucent people aren't bothered to fill it in (they should though as the numbers are pointing to vendors going for 100 MOQ pricing)

Unfortunately to keep the the base price as low as possible the ISO support is just a general ISO (I have updated the info). I will keep this in mind and consider it if an r2 ever happens.  Thanks for the comments!

Unfortunately only like 6% in the IC requested ortho so didn't seem like it was gonna make MOQ. Sorry!

Its gonna depends on the angle as it should be iridescent.  I'm personally super excited about the cable.  Working on two metal artisans and they should be pretty cool too!

Unfortunately only like 6% in the IC requested ortho so didn't seem like it was gonna make MOQ. Sorry!

I understand, but why not to add two 1u spacekey in the spacebar kit? It's very useful for ortho user :D

Hmm I feel like I can just throw deep navy alphas and WoB mods together and get extremely close to this base kit. I'll consider the novs (since the colors easily work in with WoB) but overall not for me.

Geekhack Community, got a lot of criticism on the alpha contrast for the first version
 and after digesting everyone's valuable comments and getting direct feedbackfrom some of the
 people here I have updated the colors and kits. Grateful for the feedback and the IC process
to iterate and improve my design I hope these new colors  better meet people's tastes.


* GMK Galaxy - Another space set ?

There are a few space sets that have been made before on GMK or KAT but I believe Galaxy is different enough to not be mistaken for those.
As this is my second attempt I wanted to try something different so I wanted to find a way to incorporate translucent keycaps to a set in a way
 that made sense (at least as option aesthetics kit). I am also a fan of dark sets and wanted to make a set that would be easy to match different
board colors.

GMK Galaxy is a set that tries to capture the blue/teal/grey/black spectrum of colors that we see in pictures of galaxies and adds a milky
translucent color to represents the clouds of gases and dust that you see in pictures of galaxies.

Based off feedback, I understand that translucent caps might not be for everyone and I will therefore have them as an optional based aesthetics kit.

I would like to thank Taylorisg of GMK Calcium for doing the hard work of reaching out to GMK to confirm that translucent caps are in the
realm of possibility. Without his work I probably would not have tried doing this.

* GMK Galaxy Colors *UPDATED*

Black: GMK CR
Dark Blue Grey: RAL 260 30 20 Frankreichblau 
White: GMK WS1

* GMK Galaxy Kits 

Base that should support the overwhelming majority of popular boards. 60-75%, TKL, full size + general ISO support

Novelties 
Novelties are in GMK CR and WS1 so they will match all WoB bases!

Spacebars 
Regular spacebar support for most keyboards

Based off feedback, translucent is now an optional separate kit. This makes better sense as now people who just
want translucent without getting the base can do so too

Here is the triple sleeved cable concept we have been working on the capture the colorful side of galaxy
pictures. We plan to offer this in a minimalistic straight cable (no coils) and paired with a dark blue cerakoted Lemo adapter
(a black one is shown as a color reference. the dots will be in white instead of red on the actual production model).

Here's a prototype wrist rest I have been working on with Ritzy Kraken. Wanted to make something that
really showed the depth and darkness of space
