1960s TV: Sony TV8-301

PatJS

This prop is a small portable TV set from 1960. It was 8" x 7" x 9", and weighed about 12 pounds. The case is metal.

Currently, I'm not sure whether to use a 2048x1024 texture or a 1024x512 texture. It's meant to be a portfolio piece, so I'm not sure whether to aim for realistic targets or slightly unrealistic ones that look better.


Finished model with normals and AO as a texture:

i want one as my monitor at work

looks nice. i would aim for realistic. For unrealistic i would expect some more sqished shapes

awesome model, and very nice bake. IMO if this is only going to be a port piece go for the larger maps. Make is as pretty and detailed as you can, and then later on if you ever want to use it you can always just scale the maps down to something reasonable. Very nice work.

looks good but maybe you can get some more mileage out of that AO map? Let you rays cast out a bit longer when baking?

Tumerboy

Very nice shape. I dig it.

update!





I need to do something about the DC plug on the upper left of the back for certain. I'm not sure how to deal with deep insets like that which wouldn't be totally dark, but which don't quite work when flat.

StefanH

us a inner shadow layer effect on a dark grey for the inset. So it doesnt look totally flat.
