Retro.

For the second week of this show reel project, I teamed up with another 3D modeler, Kyle Williams, and we came up with the idea of creating a small scene that represents our former childhood. This consisted of playing video games on a really old console on the floor. The things we wanted to implement in this scene was picture frames, PS1 console, CD holders and CDs, TV and a controller.

The PS1 was a lot harder then I expected mainly due to getting the disk tray lip that goes around. This took me a couple times to figure out on how to attack this model as I wanted the topology to be neat. In the end I decided that adding a cylinder to the box was the best because if I had used Regularizer I would of had to added loads of swift loops so that it makes an accurate circle. Unfortunately, this meant that I would have to line the edge of the box up to the cylinder so that I didn't have any glitches happening when I lower the cylinder in to the correct position. After that everything was pretty simple. Now because we was having a controller plugged in to the playsation we realised that there was no point in modeling both sides to the ports as one wouldn't be seen. Once this was finished all I had to do was add some text to the model so that it looks the same as the IRL version. Although, we didn't add the PS1 logo or Sony text as we wasn't sure on copyright issues.
