# Blender project of the Game Boy CPU

I don't know how to use Blender, I just watched a turorial on how to import a

VLSI layout into Blender to render it in 3D.

This is the tutorial I used:

Here is the Electric VLSI project that contains the layout:

I put this out here, so maybe someone else can help me improve it and maybe make

some flying animations.

Here are some renderings:

I placed the poly layer directly ontop of the active areas without a gap, because

otherwise you would see the poly cuts peak out underneath the poly. The technology

I used in Electric uses the same layer for poly and active cuts. So when I make the

cuts shorter, then there would be a gap between the active cuts and the active

areas. I don't know if this can be done in Blender, so that the cuts are

shortened only where they're above poly.
