Nitrocosm | Playstation 2 Piano: 3D Modeling Time Lapse @Nitrocosm | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Having used a simpler model for a series of videos on the Playstation 2, I re-make the PS2 / piano hybrid 3D model in Blender. It's not a perfect replica of the console as I omit some details in the interest of time.
NOTE: Some people have said that the eject button LED is blue, not violet. Let's just say it's blue. It looks blue-violet to me.
One of the major points of interest covered in this video is how piano keys are proportioned. It might be useful information for other projects.
