Sony MZ-R91

We step back in time and the year is 1999; this little machine has been released into the world. My younger, very excited self came into possession of this wonderful piece of design, and here we are coming back 20+ years into the future and it still works and is still a fantastic machine. As a result, I felt it a mark of respect to recreate it in Blender, immortalising it further (as much as digital content can do of course).

This was one of the more enjoyable modelling tasks, as I had the real reference material to hand. This made the process much easier, as rather than searching high and wide for reference photos online (typically buried in an eBay listing somewhere), I was able to pay attention to the finer details and ensure I didn’t miss anything that might have otherwise been hazy in low quality photos.
