Mr.Laor Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Hey Folks, Edited to better express myself I am happy to see this influx of new media (HD / 3D boxes), and i wondered about something. I wondered who prefers these that resemble the originals: and whom prefers these: They look awesome, but personally i prefer those that resemble the original boxes. What do others think about these boxes? What is your preference? Why? Edited April 20, 2018 by Mr.Laor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I mean I wouldn't have them in my collection but what does it matter they are someones artistic vision of the box its either take them or leave them so I really don't understand the question.

Lordmonkus Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Yup, no one is forced to use them, don't like them ? Don't download them, pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Laor Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 I absolutely don't mean to disparage anyone's opinion. I just was curious about people's preferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Well personally I like them, and am using them with the Unified theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Laor Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 I agree, they look great! I have been using them as well,. Would you use them if there were decent versions that resembled the originals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I personally don't like 3d boxes at all original or other style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmoney Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I think having both versions of the 3D boxes would be great as having more choices is always good. I am sure that both versions would be a hit as people have different taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I rarely use 3D boxes mainly because there is really no consistent view. These do look great and offer one heck of a unified look which is the great thing about them. Not my taste, but happy to see them being made for others. Kudos to those generating them. Keep up the good work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work. This was my thinking when I started producing these 3D models. Unify is the key. Cauptain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I think they look great in the Unfied theme personally, but of course at the end of the day it comes down to personal tastes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely shine in Cids theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cauptain Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 @Mr.Laor you still prefer the old 3D models?? Cauptain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon57 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 While I generally like 3D boxes, the one thing that usually keeps me from using them is the lack of coverage for the systems I have. For instance, I have the original TRS-80 and Tandy CoCo in my system list, and they rarely are supported with media. I then have to try and reverse engineer a template if I want their inclusion in a common theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostlines Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I think they're great but I prefer the authenticity of replicating how the original box would have looked. With that said, why not both? Since both methods look great, it could just be another option. Thanks for all the hard work in creating this media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatuswalrus Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I prefer the standard 3D, followed by the ol’ box-front. I’m not a fan of the HD 3D ones myself but it’s good they’re there for others. Variety is the spice of life, so they say. & by “they”, I mean the teenage crab monsters from Vector-7! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 True to the original all the way - either 2D or 3D. I'm not a fan of fan-made boxes etc, though these can be useful if the original box art is not available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
