Production of Animation For The Dj Equipment ( Mixer )

Here I added the final objects to the dj mixier as i have added a few simple switches and some crossfader which took a bit longer to create.

Here I have added some LED lights to the mixer. Since I wasn't to sure how to create LED's on 3ds max ,I created some spheres and sunk them bellow the surface of the base. I then covered them in metallic material so they shine when the light is on them.

On another 3ds max document I created some switches. To make the switched i first made a box and hollowed it out for the trigger of the switch. I then smoothed the box to make it more detailed and to work with the rest of the objects. i then made the trigger in a similar way as the knobs as i created a cylinder and shrunk one end to give it a constant angle. I then added a sphere to the end of the cylinder and assembled it to create the switch. Finally i added both abjects to the base positioned them and copied and pasted them many times.

On another 3ds max document I created some simple knobs. To make the knobs I created a cylinder with eight sides and one top/bottom I then extracted 4 of the eight sides to to make its grips which gave me the basic shape of a volume knob. I then coloured for of the sides which I extracted white and made the base colour black to give it a realistic look. These where then added to the base and copied many times to create what is shown above.

To start I created a simple box using the shapes list on the right hand side. I then smoothed it by making it an editable poly and using ms smooth in the modifier list. This then gave me the shape in the print screen above.
