PC-CSGO | M4A4 - Low-Fi (was named the Personal Computer before)
polycounter lvl 2
Hey guys,
I decided to make a skins based on the 1980's PC's and low tech electronics.
Think of the Aliens movie's for instance.
They used a Lo Fi Sci-Fi future setting wich still looked pretty damn 80's (example below)
We often think of the 80's as a neon rollercoaster wich is the obvious choice in my eyes (its not a bad thing ofcourse).
But if you look at the products (like PC's, and allot other electronics) and how they envisioned the future, space ships with CRT screens and big clunky keyboards. This is called Low-Fi and something like the movie Aliens takes place in a Low-Fi Sci-Fi universe wich i am using for this M4A4 skin.
I will try to make the skin the most appealing from the first person view wich is the most important i think.
It is a Classified skin so it wil not be super flashy but still nice to look at.
Enjoy!
Example: The Alien universe.
Example: A computer used in the 1980's
And i want to give the skin a gadgety feel.
This is the first WIP of the skin:

This is a cool resource for fonts used in advertising during the time. I can't wait to see how this progresses. That beige basecoat with the poly fade is really nice. This has a ton of potential. Keep on being awesome!
(EDIT: however I'm sure most of those typefaces are cripplingly expensive to use for commercial use, so you're probably better off drawing your own based on one of them with some variation to avoid IP issues.)
1. - Added a little vent/intake (wich read nicely when in first person but looks a little weird in side view so i have to fix that somehow)
2. - Added a contrast and brightness icon.
Feedback is always wanted!
The round shapes dont really fit the theme and they make it look more like a airplane air intake so i am trying different things here.
- Added some orange buttons. ( i tink each button will get a small icon next to it like ''menu'' and ''select'' etc.
- Black detailing/paint
I think this makes the skin less bland but still keeping the 80's feel.
More details will be added but i still want to give it a clunky feel so i dont want to use to many small details.
