How I made it

  1. Study

    Looked at how teenage engineering handles proportion, panel layout and small details.

  2. Model in Rhino

    Built the body, knobs and faders as precise surfaces, checking each fillet and gap.

  3. Light in Blender

    Moved the model into Blender for materials, lighting and the final renders.

  4. Animate

    Keyed the camera and parts to produce the video and the scroll-driven sequence above.
