Model created for my learning platform, 3D Masterclass, as part of a 9-hour course on 3D lighting.

This piece belongs to one of the 10 demos in the course, where I walk through my lighting and rendering workflow, including editing, composition, and a section on rendering inside Unreal Engine.

I modeled everything from scratch and tried to use as little subd as possible. I’ve always wanted to work with everyday mechanical parts like these but never had the right project to place them in, so this became the perfect context.

The DIY theme was inspired by works from artists such as Sabrina Garcia (sab_3d) and several pieces I’ve come across on Behance.
The LED screen shader was created by this great artist, Cody Evan: www.blendernation.com/author/cgcody/
