And I am trying to sort of make one on the computer!

Sorta needs some work, but it is a WIP. Sexy renders, though!

It needs a tonearm is what it needs, but I don't want to make one.

Maybe so you can see the record better or read the label? I dunno.

Dude, that looks awesome.

The scratch track is fantastic, too. I'm saving that.

I spent about 2 minutes trying to figure out why you posted photos of these things. Which is good. They look friggin' real.

Looks great..

But you really need to put more polies on the turn table itself

I know, but when I do that I'll have to cut the whole thing open and re-do it and I don't wanna. :(

I did anyway.

Don't forget the bumps on the edge of the platter.[/QUOTE]

The lights wouldn't be too hard. The bumps are what worry me--I'm not sure how best to do them and I can't figure out how I might model all of them or do them as a skin.

[quote=Compos Mentis]Unblur the slipmat image, it buggeths me[/quote]

I'm waiting for a hi-res version of the image from the guy who made it. At the moment that's the best version I have. I hope to make lots of cool slipmat textures, like a recycle symbol one and stuff woo.
2005-08-30, 5:38 PM #28
What about a bump-mapped texture? The grooves pattern nicely (you can see on a zoomed in shot) and bump mapping would be fine unless you did a close up render of the platter.

You could probably even add them pretty easily with a macro or something, I'm not a modeler so I don't know exactly what something like that would entail.

Also, would it be cool if I made a couple custom slipmat textures? What dimensions?
</sarcasm>

That would be awesome! I'd go with 1024x1024 or 2048x2048, whichever you feel is best. :)
2005-08-30, 11:04 PM #30
Looks absolutely amazing (and given that College startes next tuesday, it makes me want to go out there and actually design my own turntable :D)

But i've got question: what program did you make this in? (if its already been mentioned, please excuse my non-observence, as is 2:00 here, and i am bloody tired).

scratching ruins vinyls.

does it ruin mp3s too?
2005-08-31, 1:46 PM #32
I think it still needs more polies. Should look smooth as butter.

2005-08-31, 8:31 PM #33
Done. :)

I finally figured out a way to do the little beat-dot thingies. I don't think I got the pattern right though, Compos may have to help me out on this. :p

The slipmat image is a design that DJ Qbert uses for some reason. He has it on his mixer too, and hung all over his house. Maybe it's his soul bug or something.

Make the freaking pick-up arm. =O You can do it! *thumbs up*
Seishun da!

But I'm scared! Mommyyyy

Also, I have to do my homework first.. :p
2005-09-01, 2:13 PM #36
The tone arm and counterweight shouldn't all that difficult. It's mostly cylinder primitives stacked up on top of each other and hollowed out .... kinda. heh.

I'll double check that pattern for ya

it's close, but not quite. Here's a great reference
http://www.rawpower.co.uk/acatalog/technics_platter.jpg
http://www.bytesector.com/reviews/id-430/pic2.jpg (different table, same pattern)
The whole point of that pattern is to provide friction for your finger, and it looks really really cool when it's spinning in that running like and LED in the dark :) (like really cool, try animating your platter in a dark environment with those lights on once you get the pattern going :))

BTW my copy of illustrator is messed up, and I'm not going vector in photoshop so it'll be another day or so before I can reinstall and make some slipmats.

What program are you using. It better'd be Blender, or you lose all your points.

[http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/16378.jpg]

Compos Mentis completed what I can only surmise was some kind of superhuman feat by counting the number of little dots on each row of the platter. So now the dot pattern you see is 100% authentic! Let's have a big hand for Mr. Mentis, kids. I started work on the base of the tonearm, as you can see, and when that's finished all I'll have to do is remake the lower left buttons because they're rather inaccurate, and then figure out where the plugs go on this thing. :p

p.s. do you guys like this slipmat is it funny huh huh
