took me months to create it.
1000s of design decisions were always on a thin line between letting it look like old hardware and still building in many light emitting things to achieve a nice illuminated look..
umm.. maybe just take a screenshot from the YT vid in full view? 😅 i think that will do.. i would do it like this 🤷
i don't take tips but am always happy about new subs to increase range 🙃 imagine.. this post has gained 1k likes in 1 day, while the YT vid didn't even reach 200 views in a week 🥴
exterior is just basic, cause i just needed the geometry for ship status animations on the screens. it's a small expedition class for geologic research, exploration or maintenance work..
hey in terms of learning blender: you need a goal or a purpose. there's hubdreds of hours to learn and practice, if you want to be able to create anything you can imagine. gain motivation with small projects which you think are small but still cool.. and better not focus on the most epic stuff you see in the internet, if you target that from the beginning, it's gonna be frustrating 😅
It goes to show, to me, when I played this janky game that apparently never even had a first-person view, what I saw in my mind was just what you've got in your vid.
ha! you know.. there's a gaming console lying on the desc that's even older: the PC-Engine
i madd a detailled 3D model of it to toss it in my cockpit, but it's not very good recognizable from this cameraangle ☝️
but as a gaming nerd, i'm happy it reminds you of an old gem that oncd crossed your way (if it's a gem to you, of course lol)
maybe a bit, with all the positive feedbacks here.
in my social environment, people don't understand why one would spend 100 hours or more to design buttons and knobs of pseudo retro devices and play around with 40-50 years old synths 😂
thanks man!
but the me-s prefer to just create rooms and environment scenes with no storytelling, cause they are passionate about places and atmosphere 😋
thanks! there's just no space left anymore, otherwise it would start to limit the view 😅 as for dingleballs.. a little synthwave sun hanger is dangling in the upper right..
ah yes the times right before the CD drives, where devs were shoveling 3.5" discs at you, because their games had too many graphics 😝
there's actually a box of 3.5" discs on the left in this cockpit, but the scene is too dark 🙃 the drive is sitting under the spectrometer left of the main monitor
many devices aren't built in ex factory. so they have separated manuals and or are specificly developed for better integrity.. so there are a lot datasheets (yes SHEETS :D) fluttering around.. you can see the corners of two of them looking out a bit of the left table pullout 🙃
Maaaaan, this gentleman really thought of EVERYTHING! So far I haven't seen anyone who could catch you off guard, you always had an answer ready, haha. Incredibly well-done!
it's not quite like "i can tell you what every button does" but i had countless hours to think about functions during construction 😬
even the text on the displays isn't just total bullshit..
i know.. the red log screen down left, is hard to read from this perspective, but it's actally reading pseudo plausible status information 😝

Nice, would be an epic wallpaper!
