Title: How do people do 3D renders of their custom keyboard designs?
Post by: mer on Wed, 23 July 2014, 15:46:53

I'm curious to know how people are doing 3D rendering of custom keyboard key sets. I've been having fun trying to design some key sets and I'd love to be able to render them in 3D to get a better idea of what the final product would look like.

I'm referring to renders like in the first post of the Granite set GB here:

I think it should probably be something like "Cinema Studio 4D" or other 3D-stuff-making-software. Maybe there is a template available and you just can adjust the colors and everything else stays the same. It's just a guess on my part.

Yeah, I'm figuring the same thing, but am hoping someone has a template, as you suggested, that I could use to easily do my own.
