Mackie mixer done in Maya.
Did this one for a music studio's website.
The client was very happy..... but what do you, of the 3D community, think?

Looks really compressed so its hard to tell - but I would say that the faders don't look like the Mackie faders i've worked with maybe a little too rounded or something...

I used this reference image to model it:

I've also used the mixer's spec sheet for the textures:

And I agree that the render is blurry, I had done a crisper render at first but the client thought it looked too CG.
I haven't kept the crisper version..... gimme a few hours and I'll make another render....

Here are 2 closeup renders I just did, will help to view the details.

Of course, it wasn't created so that it would be shot this close so I've cut corners a bit... deadline was tight, lol.
Also, I only had a few reference images to work with, didn't have the actual mixer with me, so I modeled those sliders by memory mostly. I know it's no excuse for shabby work, but I though it would be acceptable.
Will try to find a better reference image of those sliders.....

Yeah looking a lot cleaner - I grabbed some links from the Mackie site you might want to look at (maybe they'll help maybe not).

I hope these help.
