3D Blender - TECHNICS CD Player

[Eggy]

I'm more for technical stuff so I tried to replicate my good old Technics CD player.

I started with a photo and the manual:



to get this:

Absolutely stunning!!

 

[Eggy]

Thanks John!

It took me about two days to make it the way I wanted.

Therefore I wasn't very active on the forum, you can't monitoring and creating and the rendering took 2 hrs making it very hard to use my computer while rendering.

So that's where you've been hiding Lambert

Well that was diffidently worth the 2 days, stunning piece of work, amazing and wonderful creation

OK I'm all praised out for today :biglaff:

 

[Eggy]

Thanks Ged!

I just needed some 'me' time but I was lurking in the dark...

But the project isn't finished totally. I need to find a way to delete some edges provoking weird artifacts in surface but I'm not sure yet how to tackle them.

How's your progress with Blender? :question:

 

[gedstar]

Alas Blender progress isn't progressing at the moment, just don't have the time I'd like to spend on it, I will get into it again at some stage though

Good gracious have mercy Your best yet Eggy....just stunning realism

 

[Eggy]

Thanks Pipsmom but there are some hidden flaws that I need to correct before I can say its good...

Amazing work ! Stunning realism! The only thing i noticed with 3D is that the object it's always 100% perfect condition, I would try to trash it a little to see how it looks :biglaff:

Cheers!

 

[Eggy]

Thanks Argos.

But look at the photo of my 'old' stereo rack!
The CD player looks new!

No kidding, thats my next step in 3D...

Fantastic work of you Lambert, which probably can hardly be executed more beautifully.

 

[Eggy]

Thanks Chris.

But I'm having artifacts on the CD sledge when doing a knife projection from the text converted into mesh onto the sledge (or whatever its called). It is adding edges on the curved surface causing the artifacts and I still didn't figure out how to correct that.
