Ussr tv

Artwork Works in Progress
1

This is late USSR tv called ‘BEREZKA’ (a birch tree). It’s been on production since 1984 and my parents happened to had one :rofl:
The TV itself was a piece of :poop: (as most if not all soviet consumer electronics). It was quite unreliable. Yet it was a color TV :sunglasses:
Anyways, here’s my work in progress. The goal is to model a late USSR flat corner. There definitely will be different furniture and some horrible wallpaper :crazy_face:
I also plan to make some renders with a picture on the screen. It’s gonna be interesting to model that effect of the lightening from the screen.
Please share your comments and don’t forget to press like button! :relaxed:

I’m playing with textures on the screen. Here’s some example render.

And this is Allan Cumak. He used to be a faith healer and well known in Russia because during perestroika years he appeared on TV charging water with his voodoo magic so that the water heals any diseases :joy:
Here’s the sort article about him on wikipedia.

I love every part of your scene. :slight_smile:

However , I think the wallpaper in the background is extremely blurry.
Maybe the image texture is too small ?

Thanks. I have to invest more time in learning cycles :roll_eyes:
On low sampling renders it looked better.

That’s because the wallpaper is out of focus. I did it on purpose actually :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

“Palas” have very low texture resolution and table legs have no material?

Oh. I’m not too sure why , but that’s not very obvious. Maybe the rest of the objects also need to be out - of - focus to be more clear ?

It has no other textures except for the image. I.e. no noncolor data like reflection and normals. Have to fix that.

and table legs have no material?

That was wrong table at all. I only used it temporary so that TV wouldn’t be in the air.

Спасибо.
