Notes

  1. I haven’t made the piping yet, that will go on as this does to the engine. (hence the error)
  2. Maybe I’ll change the box material to something more plate-looking, as this may or may not be a box. But maybe gonna keep the heavy duty look! As I would need to re-model it, how tedious and boring!
  3. The “Error” screen is an image texture, mixed with a noise node.
  4. I did not triangulate the whole thing, the wireframe node did it. I do know an alternative that uses UV, but it made some artifacts.
  5. I didn’t put care into the background, don’t worry I won’t use the brick text for a tech showcase anymore! :sob:
  6. I will probably upgrade the LCD screen, as I’ve yet again found a great tutorial on YT:

    Plus, that is too Hi-Res…
  7. Just for clarification: the “Tomato Twist Button” can be activated by either pushing or twisting (clock-wise).

I’m very new to material nodes if any suggestions on how my materials can be improved: advice will be appreciated!
I’m also a newbie on lighting, if any suggestions (Feel free). I used the tri-point default from Tri Lighting:

I would love to hear any feedback from this community, so far it has been just, so great around here!
Sorry for the lack of spreadsheets/data PDFs, I wasn’t committed enough + time :face_holding_back_tears:

TL;DR

FFM stands for Fuel Flow Monitor!

Thanks for looking!
