ABOUT

A hi-resolution model build from reference material and physical object.
The speaker grill that wraps around the front was the most challenging aspect of the modelling process, a few different options were tried and ruled out before I settle on unwrapping the geometry of the grill and creating a series of alpha channels in Photoshop. The solidity of the texture was then built up using bump mapping and subsurface displacement.
The lighting rig was built to create a high contrast throw of light into the scene pulling out the form of the speaker unit by emphasising shape through highlights and reflection.
