Modeling and texturing electronics is something that most CG artists have to do at some point, because they appear in cinema, videogames and promotional artworks. Whether it’s a spaceship HUD or an old phonograph, nearly all electronics have elements in common, such as buttons, knobs, speakers, screens, LEDs and more. These elements can make or break the realism of a 3D model, but they are very easy to create with some proper tools and instruction.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to model and texture a Pioneer CDJ in Cinema4D, with realistic CD bay, buttons, screen and lights. You’ll see how to use primitives to do the majority of the modeling, as well as using boolean and NURBs to achieve some more complex geometry.
