I just too a screen capture of the unfinished render before I left for work today, so I could post something.
I’m still trying to make this look photo-realistic.
If you have any ideas or thoughts on this, let me know.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention: I’m going to make the lights a little more “worn”. It’s too perfect at the moment.
Also, I’m looking for a good black, metal, paint material perhaps with some rust (for the bottom). Any thoughts on this?
Looks like a great idea. It’s been long time sense seeing one of the machines from the 80’s, but I believe the lighting behind the glowing panel would have been uneven. You would actually know where the tube was positioned.
