Very cool! I love the nostalgic feel this has, even if I've only ever used a C64 once in my life. The way you've animated the tape playing is genius in its simplicity. Such a fun detail to add.

Appreciated, a timeless design imgo! The counter (to the right of the cassette tray) was ready to be animated, though in the end I kept this model untextured for a cleaner look. The tape in the cassette is animated via a simple use of the scale function in motion mode, though it took me a while to figure that out. Still happy with how this model turned out, especially considering that animation was still in the prototype stage when I initially made it.

Thanks! It was made in several months, the shell being first whilst I was testing early PicoCAD2 builds & getting familiar with the layout/tools, with the cassette initially from an old PicoCAD model that I had to remake so that I could get the correct scale. At the time, pc2 was still in mid-development so the motion mode was still in the early stages, hence the model sat unfinished, until animation was implimented & we (testers) were able to test-drive the new mode & provide feedback/bug-reports.
