NEVER FORGET - Atari 2600 Joystick

1

I really like Daniel Glebinski's tributes to retro game hardware. Today he revisits the iconic Atari joystick.

This animation series is the result of my research for animating motion graphics in Blender.

I created this animation series to study Paul Clements motion graphics animation style. I tried to cover each of the different kind of animation and find a way to make it in Blender.

The question was, which objects could I choose for my animation?
I decided to animate 3 different types of game controllers of my past.
A computer mouse, a gamepad and a joystick should be my three choices.

The Commodore 1351 mouse, the NES Gamepad and the Atari Joystick are relicts from our past gaming history. I figured out that these were the most famous gaming tools in the past.

I created this model by using reference photos from web. The proportions are as good as possible.

My name is Daniel Glebinski. I love to create CG content with Blender. Pushing vertices around by code, modifiers, and by hand. Make pixels shine!

  1. Man, I broke so many of those joysticks. They had bubble-switches which wore out after a few hundred hours of playtime.
