RED MEMORY CARD

Gold Orb

Memory Card Project


This model was originally created for the favicon of this website, however the scope of this project increased daily to practice some skills which were long unpolished and even learn a number of new skills in Blender and Substance Painter.

It is a custom PS2 memory card, which has a number of modifications added to the device. It has a floppy disc sheath, light board, cooling fan and a electrical board for additional function. Smaller details (even unseen ones) are designed to fit into the model. I had a lot of time on my hands, which led to this project being more ambitious than needed until I created my website.

Every bit and piece is modelled and textured to a certain design. This will help me when I enhance my skills for creating my website to match the art style a lot closer. In blender, the plastic casing has a special material which makes it see through, but the refracts lights differently.

When it was all assembled, I created an empty actor to act as the pivot to my camera, then it rotates with the camera to make this seem as if the memory card is spinning itself in a 360oC linear motion.
