      So, I have some time to spend on the project !!!
      I know the limitations that this theme have, and Maybe one thing I can do iS to reduce the artwork to 720p, Im sure it would be lighter on memory and visually nearly the same. What do you think?
      And well, bbc micro is nearly finished, just like sam coupe and megacd backgrounds.Just getting there after so mich time!!!

        @tronkyfran you are a lovely person ! I thought I'd lost you in the site move! Welcome to the new forums, I am very excited for your new images. Btw with attract mode looking more viable without X your images may now viable without vram issues :)

        Also I prefer full 1080p (for quality on systems that can handle it) but we can also have a 720p for the emulationstation theme

              And now going for trs-80 "coco", daphne laserdisc and dragon 32 if there isnt any request before.
              I know that megacd and sega32 are much more used, but I have no documentation of them, so...

                      PD: I would like to credit Burbur from blendswap for the awesome model, and Bill Bertram for the photo used in the texture, they made my work really easier.

                        @tronkyfran I love your images, but where the space bar on the TRS-80?

                            Omg, the space bar!!! xD I just dont know how that happened, Ill fix that today. There are more key related mistakes but that is really big.
                            I think the problem with daphne is a permission one, Ill upload on a different place.

                              There are some keyboard errors, I coudnt find the correct font. In fact its a recurrent problem I face nearly everytime I model a system before 90s. If some graphic designer could point a way(or a place) to find these fonts it would be nice!! :)

                                  Not exactly what you wanted, but it might lead to something. . . here's a link to a post over on the Mechanical Keyboards forum where there was some discussion of fonts. Many listed are current manufacturers, but enthusiasts often try to model designs after older examples so perhaps there is some overlap with fonts.

                                        I'm going to start uploading my 3d models in .obj (for those linux and blender fans) and .max format., including all lightning and shaders. Well, maybe someone will play with it or get some new renders ;)

                                        First one:
                                        ZX_spectrum+2

                                        .OBJ:

                                        https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwdzHtv3rOY1Z01pUlczcEtCOGc

                                        .MAX:

                                        https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwdzHtv3rOY1eTZyb1FKYUpyTjg

                                        Maybe google drive is not the better place to share it. Some suggestion about it?
