Metallic Switch



I used the shape feature to model the stem. It's the first time I've used this feature.

The results are ok.

good start.

I began modeling this knob by using a knob schematic I found on the web. However, the more I worked on it, the less it looked like the schematic. The end result is nothing like I expected. I like the interplay of the shadows.

Eagle Eye Knob

now that is totally neat and interesting.

Turned out pretty well. The footswitches are the biggest weakness. Those round LED buttons... they look a little funny. That's all I'm sayin'.

Sleep? What's that?

Hi !
Didn't know about this thread, I was on g200kg original thread, out there

I needed a realistic led.
So I took a picture and layered it onto larger metal circles.

Here is the result.

Feel free to use and/or modify it.

Hi again ...

I went on for my led and thought to change behaviour from FrameMask to Alpha blending : It enables me to get smoothly appearing / vanishing indicators .

Had several colors of leds so I made them all the same way.

Led_Red

Led_Amber

Led_Yellow

Led_Green

Led_Blue

Led_UV

Grab as you like !

Regards,
Arthur.

Hi Leslie,
Very nice! Almost Pro!

One thing should help, though: When our dear g200kg have it fixed, I think you'd better have coherent lighting effects on your knobs & buttons.
Rotating knobs have a light just on top of 'em but led push buttons and other ones have -45° emboss.

What's your own opinion about it?


Just my 2 p.

Best regards,
Arthur.

Cool ! But it really needs to be a little less dark in the shadow. I will love it.

Thanks to all designers - I appreciate your work very much.
One wish as we have so many knobs now: how about some sliders (as there is a lack of that in knobman).

Yup. I agree, and noticed the same thing but was too lazy to fix it.

The lighting angle in the original picture, which I tried to model for the background, appears to be 0 degrees. But then the embossing on the footswitches and pushbuttons is at -45 degrees, so they don't match up.

Here is one:



Silver Slider Thumb

This is the first slider thumb I've done that I've really liked. The key was to use the shape feature to create an hourglass-like shape on top. That seemed to work nicely here.

Another one (very simple):



Simple Slider Thumb

EDIT: The idea with the slider thumbs is that you create the actual slider track in SkinMan instead of KnobMan; the track is actually a part of the background. The slider thumb then moves on top.
