A futuristic vending machine. I've used the selfillum property to give the front of the vending machine a glow.
What do you guy's think? In my opinion, the touch screen (white ugly thing) is sort of detracting from the model but I'm not sure how to make it better.

That's a very nice model you made there, though I agree about the touch screen thingy. No idea how you could fix that though.

It doesn't look like a touch screen; I thought it was a stamp or sticker on the front until I read your post. If you want it to stick out a little you could add a trim around it. perhaps one that causes it to protrude from the flat surface, or maybe just the trim is protruding. and you it wouldn't need to be one continuous surface, just add the trim on top without sewing into the front surface =less polygons.

Ah good idea. I might be able to get away with it by using a normal map too.

Thanks guys.
Ok here is the second iteration of the model. I've made it a bit more detailed (90 something polygons now) and did a second skin. Also redid the touch screen.
Let me know what you guys think:

I think the touch-screen is a little overpowering now; it's won't let go of my eye. It doesn't look glowing as much as it looks pure-white. Maybe a little bit of fade around the edges, and knocking the brightness down a notch will help. Also, all of the details seem to be clustered around the bottom of the machine - some subtle graphic, linework, or trim on the blue background, behind everything else, which draws into the big blank part of the top/topright might pull it all together more; or maybe play with placement/size of the touch screen to help balance the forms. I mean, I'm being pretty nit-picky, but what the hell.
I know this is your own thing, but check out some reference images and try to capture those little bits of realism you see in them. Remember - this is a device trying to sell a product. Looks to me like you're trying to sell a touch-screen. Tantilize and tease me with delicious and refreshing blue crush!!!
btw - what modeling software do you use?

Thanks guys. I'll keep working on this and hopefully I can come up with something that works. 
I'm using 3ds max 9.
Thanks for the offer but I think I've got it covered. But hey, if you feel so inclined here and here are the textures. If you do end up doing something, be sure to show and I might just use it/get an idea.
I was thinking of doing some subtle bubbles but they're actually more time consuming to make than I thought so I gave it a miss.

I will see what I can do for you. If you had the PSD for the layers it would make it much easier. Would you like the keypad to be animated?

Wow, it's quite nice but it's heading in a different sort of direction than I wanted. I'm looking for something very sleek and subtle. Nothing really overly complicated or "colourful".
The main face is fine except I don't really like the font and it looks a bit blurry in some areas. I like the control panel but the numbers/letters thing doesn't make sense as you can't see any of the beverages so you wouldn't use that system to select your beverage.
Finger suggested before that I need to make it sort of stand out to grab peoples attention but the sort of feel I want to create is a sense of unity (can't think of a better word). The "soda" beverage is the only beverage of it's kind available, the "credits" currency is sort of a global currency.. there are less options and competition, things are alot more unified on a global level, there may be a single government governing the entire world. It could almost be described as dystopia except its a very orderly world, I guess it could be compared to communism except on a global scale.

Ok, since I now know that is a texture mask, that you pull from to add your textures.. I made this new one... also based on your comments.

Yeah nice one muhnay. I think the image of the bottle should be more subtle. Maybe you could set its alpha value to 25-50.
Re: 2D/3D art
Posted by G4MER on Mon Sep 21st at 8:21am 2009
There ya go.. yeah it does look much better now.
Bottle is at 30 and the label is at 50.
Do you want the red the same way?

One thing I've realized. The bottle actually overlaps where the touch screen is supposed to go. What I suggest is you move the bottle to the left of the vending machine and put it under the text, you're going to need the psd for that though so I can hit you up with that if you want, don't feel obligated.
After that, you may need to make have to further decrease the alpha value of the bottle so it doesn't make the text harder to read, but I don't think that's bad, subtly I think is good in this case.
.. or, you could do something different.
Once/if you do that I can apply the texture to the model and I'll post the screenshots/upload the model and report back here.
Not that the texture looks bad but I still think it's heading in a slightly different direction than what I'm after, but it's closer to what I was after than your first iteration. I'm sort of trying to set up a visual style across the whole project (being my vista competition entry) including this model and your iteration sort of differs from that visual style, that's all. But I like where your going.
Here is the psd and three fonts I used for the vending machine texture that you may not have. Two of the fonts I downloaded and one is found on newer windows systems.
