Free 3D model of Wiimote, you’re welcome January 30, 2007
My Co-Worker, Pat Grubb, modeled this flawless Wiimote using 3D Studio Max 8, we’re going to be using it for various projects, but in the spirit of giving, we’re letting everyone download the .max file for free.

What do you do for a living exactly, or is this a side project? Looks pretty awesome.

My official title is “Lead Multimedia Developer” I work on a wide variety of “multimedia” projects from web applications using php, mysql, javascript, actionscript to 3D modeling, motion graphics, and editing.
I work at a Multimedia and Video Production company in Philadelphia.
The Wiimote was done out of boredom by my co-worker, plus we’ll probably end up using it for certain things.
WiiNintendo.net is just a fansite/side project. If my dreams come true, I’ll be blogging for a living… I’m not holding my breath though.

Grammar police: it’s “you’re”, not “your”. Don’t you listen to Strongbad?

Oops, sorry, that site didn’t accept my deep link to the mp3. Try this instead.

Nice work! I wish I’d get into 3D modeling on a PC or something. I’d like to try and model a DS or Nunchuk someday.

What firm do you work for in Philadelphia? I did a lot of ActionScript while going to school there. It’s a small town…

That’s really good, kudos!
I wish I could model that well :/
Thanks for letting us have it for free too.
(If you get bored again maybe make a Wii too

Wow, thats an awesome job.
I do have a request though. Could you please export it as an .obj? I run old modeling software.
Thanks

Can anyone give a .3ds file instead? That way I can import it to Blender.

what kind file would be work in blender?? I am just start to using blender. But, I hope you can provide this with a blender friendly version>

Very nice work. I wonder: would you consider putting an explicit Open Source license on this, so that people working on Free and Open Source Software projects can include it?

Thanks for this, am using this in a test scene with a Wiimote plugin for Unity, an perfectly awesome 3D engine (http://unity3d.com).
Made some model updates, wanted to share back;
- buttons are separate objects.
- tweaked the diffuse texture; A button.
- lights are separate objects (just colored planes for now).
- added nunchuck plug (no nunchuck model yet).
- elements are all named.
FBX can be found here:

Thanks again!

Well done dude.
I’m looking to use my C coding experience to play with some Wii homebrew. all my experience is 2d :/ Do you know how one would go about displaying this model …Eg. compile -l3ds and use 3ds_show(&image) ??
