Emerson radio

[3Dan]

A very simple model.

Hay Dan, put it on 96.1 and let's ROCK:D

[Rinne]

Pssst, hey 3Dan, can we have a bigger pic, so that we can read what's written on the sign? Well, cause there's written Emerson............., eh, looks a bit like television!

hmm, that wouldn't make sense, maybe it's Emerson Radio and Television? We (don't) know;)

[3Dan]

And ROCK we will:D
Rinne take a look at the WIP thread on that radio and you will see the bumpmap with the logo. It's self explanatory.:roll:

[Rinne]

Yes, well, that's the joke behind that!

[fabrizzzio]

Cool Dan!
... almost I can hear the music...:cool:

The only thing is that I think it could be a little rusty (maybe) so it'll look more realistic (it's an old radio isn't it?)
Maybe some imperfections will be cool...

What do U think?

[3Dan]

Thank you for the comments.
Rinne, only now i got the joke. I'm a little slow... ;) Emerson by that time was into tv manufacturing as well so maybe they wanted to proudly display their capabilities.

Fabrizzzio, this radio was made of plastic - maybe bakelite, so no rust. The loudspeaker screen sagged with the years, as can be seen. A little denting on the cabinet can be considered though.

(Your avatar is a sensational piece of design, simple but strong graphics, reminds me of Malevitch:cool: )

[fabrizzzio]

I understand Dan. You're right.

Hey! Why don't you put the radio in an evironment... maybe a table, a room, or something... so it could get a retro air...
I can imagine a great model using it!

:D

i followed it already in the wip section...looking nice, indeed. 3Dan, why are there 2 knobs?

[3Dan]

One knob - i don't know which - to search for your favourite station, the other to turn the volume up or down.
Naturally...

[3Dan]

Fabrizzio as for a scene i was intending to make a shelf with a few radios displayed, sort of a hobbyist collection. I'll work on the other examples and do it.

[3Dan]

Well the 20th century is behind us now, but there is so much interesting stuff in it i can't help to make it alive in my models;)

[Gl2eEn]

[ronrn]

Heat cannot exist without cold, nor highs without lows, same for a future without a past..........:p :)

[3Dan]

Sure here it goes.

[rubberduck]

It may be a simple model, but you did a great job on the textureing and the lighting:D

[ronrn]

Man I have got to learn how to model with a mesh!!:o :)

[Trevorn]

The radio looks great Dan. I've got a few old Emersons at home. The cloth texture looks very authentic. Looking forward to seeing some more.

So true. And don't forget all that's new today gets old tomorrow;)

Thanks for the comments. I'll definitely redo some of my (virtual) radios with polymodeling. Check them out:D

[ido]

looks very good.

[sneaky_d]

I'm curious - why do your radio knobs have big rods coming out their back? Surely you don't need those?

Lighting looks good :D

[3Dan]

That's a good question, anyway they don't show... Consider it a sort of deviation;)
You might want to check another radio i am modeling, a Crosley 1953. Check the WIP.
