So… this isn’t a render… it’s just a viewport shading screen grab… but I like it more than what Cycles produced! :sweat_smile:

The burned wood logo effect was also much nicer in the viewport since it’s screen based, and much less effort to make than if I would have to do displacement (which is apparently still experimental even in Blender 3.2).

The model is a work in progress project I’m doing in Rhino, to CNC mill the base for an arcade stick out of wood…

All materials are from Blenderkit. UV mapping could be better… I just used proportional editing to move the island around a bit… but I’m not going to work on this any more now. It’s good enough until I can get a real prototype made! :joystick:

I was “pushed” to do an update (don’t expect it to happen again). :wink:

Also worked some more on the internals (though since this is in Rhino, I won’t post more of those here):

Nice project. Seems like you have some collision between internal components.
Love the TAC2 version. :smiley:

Ok, so this is evolving a little bit…

No longer procedural wood, and a proper Cycles render (though using a built-in environment in Blender).
