Floppy Disk 3D Asset

The Floppy Disk 3D Render & Model project successfully transforms a classic storage device into a vividly detailed 3D model. The work began in 3DS Max, where the essential features of a floppy disk, such as its rectangular shape with rounded corners, the central circular metal hub, and the distinctive shutter mechanism, were captured. This was followed by the creation of a streamlined low-poly version, ensuring high visual fidelity for integration into video games.

Roberto Barrientos led the development, overseeing the transition from high-resolution modeling to the final texturing phase in Substance Painter. The texture application enhanced the floppy disk’s appearance, emphasizing the textured surface of the label and the reflective metal slider against the matte plastic casing.

The final model serves multiple digital formats, particularly enhancing video games and virtual simulations with a touch of retro authenticity. The Floppy Disk project takes a familiar object into a high-fidelity digital artifact, illustrating the adaptability of preserving traditional elements to modern digital assets.
