Beatmania IIDX Controller

These were for my Low Poly class. Assignment was to make 4 mechanical objects.

This model is 168 polys.

what did you use for reference?
why is there color around the record plate?
you're missing a needle.
avoid large useless 70's style buttons. you're better off texturing a panel that looks functional, and save geometry.
barely noticeable bevels are not useful with low poly. paint the shape. i'm assuming geometry on the underside of the record exists. the record itself could be a single plane.

edit: oh, it's a little plastic controller. forgot about this thing.

Personally, I'd prefer to see the polies in the turntable portion than in the buttons. Like Elysium mentioned, if you need to save polies, gain them from lowering the buttons.

Elysium: This is a mixer table, not a record based mixer.

(like Dekard pictured)

eh, sonny?

lol, I'm with you Elysium... had I not seen Dekard's post, I wouldn't have known either

I can so use those excessive lines on the buttons and put them on the remote itself since there's only one bevel when the basic shape should have several.

You can also just place the needle on top of the cylinder instead of extruding it from the center to save more geometry...

you don't even need that tip in the center of the disc. its so small...

select all the polys on top of the turntable thingy and scale them down, it will make the side like / instead of | and look more like the ref

[/ QUOTE ]There is no needle on a IIDX controller. This is simply a controller for a game guys. This isn't a real-life mixer.

I think he's just referring to the bumped shape in the center... and just didn't know a good name for it
