Got some practice in rendering with blender and how to bring it into HISE.
I could start without any help..but I would like to build it with that collab addon.

And we said a synth is nice. I just don't have a vision of how it could look like,
as long we didn't decide which functions it will have.

I'm hungry, guys :D

Great work - I like it a lot.
Clean, tidy, lean
Only the keyboard needs some work
The proportion of black to white keys is not right - Unless this is intentional?

The ratio of black to white is usually 1 : 1.56
The distance between the black keys is also too small - you can't get your fingers between them :-)

@UD-AUDIO Good work. @MikeB is correct. If we consider Photo realism and real world scenario the black keys need some tweaking. Otherwise (y)

[UD AUDIO]

@Tania-Ghosh @MikeB Ohh I didn't notice that! I'm usually not using reference images
to achieve photorealism - but my eyes. Made this by watching my own keyboard.
Well..I should watch better. Good that it's non-destructive :D
Could use "measure it" to get the ratio correct.
And maybe I get a real size finger for testing hahah..

Thanks for clearing that up!
And also thanks for your feedback. Glad you like it!

@UD-AUDIO
Just take the jpg above and put it into the background in Blender then you can see the proportions and adjust them - right?

[UD AUDIO]

@MikeB What are those values? It's not millimeters right?

[UD AUDIO]

@MikeB No need for this.
I will use "measure it":

My keys are also made for bodybuilders :D

[MikeB]

@UD-AUDIO
I have just measured my piano - but these are millimetres
But your design is all about proportion.

@UD-AUDIO
Why don't you build the keyboard separately from your design and then fit it in, then you are free to change the dimensions if you want?

Tchakkaa :-)

Looks good

[UD AUDIO]

@MikeB Thanks! It does look like you could put your finger between the white keys now :D

I will try this later to compare it with the actual keyboard.

[MikeB]

No one will measure it - but it looks more realistic this way.
Or what do you think?

Where can I buy it now? :-)

[UD AUDIO]

@MikeB Yes you're 100% right!
I just didn't notice it because I was focussed on getting the form correct.
And I was blended by the LED-lights hahah...

I really want to play with it in real..
You can have it for free <3

Next step: Making filmstrips and new HISE project

I do already know how to make filmstrips.
But maybe you got some useful tips for me?!

And how to get the keyboard to work? OpenGL maybe?

[Matt_SF]

@UD-AUDIO I can't think of anything specific right now about filmstrips but I've done my share so if you have issues, I'll be glad to help.
About the keys, as I don't know how to use openGl (yet) I would use filmstrips and give some perspective to the 'key-down' with photoshop. But there are more advanced people in this matter.

[UD AUDIO]

@Matt_SF Thanks for your assistance! I can only guess..
Thought off filmstrips for the keys too.
OpenGL might be a solution to draw a keyboard only
but proof me wrong!

@Christoph-Hart said in I'll just leave this here...:

Are you on Windows or mac?

This shader stuff is beyond awesome. Check out this 3D keyboard prototype:
