I needed a cash register for a short that I am working on. I wanted it to have an antique look about it.
Any advice on applying materials and rigging it for animation would be appreciated.
I think it should have a metallic gold tone tone with embossed designs which I was planning to do with a UV normal map. The keys would probably be a separate UV map which I assume would be the easiest way to do that. The numbers that pop (The display) up would also be on a separate UV map.
I was only going to animate the parts I use in the scene where it will appear. Otherwise I think it would be too tedious. I was thinking displacement sliders for the drawer, display and the keys. The crank would be handled with an armature. Is that the right approach for this?
