After last weeks pause I am back with another tutorial. This time I am showing my technique how to shade pixels on electronic screens as well as CRTs. The really cool thing is that, if you have the right tools, this is not complicated at all and lets you achieve really great results.
Also as always, this video includes the models that you can download on my patreon. This one is rather precious to me as it was my first Computer Screen that I rebuilt by meticulously modeling the whole thing in SDS. Maybe you can find a place for it in some of your future projects. Would love to see it suddenly pop up somewhere the future ha ha.
