I love this tutorial. Thank you. I don't know if this would be welcome in this thread but I feel I have a problem with relying too much on nurnies to get a futuristic look. I am hoping to do it more with design but I need guidance. I just don't imagine a futuristic hair dryer having an excess of tubbing and hoses coming off it ; ) That is a joke. I am not wanting to do hair dryers, I have been trying cyborg parts, robots, and control consoles. I am probably most concerned with what the bridge of a ship and what the keypads on things like storage and airlock doors would look like. I can't get out to rent movies but I have been trying to study incidental close ups on the ones of which I do get a hold. I got some good advise in a separate thread but I am hoping for direction to more in depth resources. "Specyualative design"? "Trends in interface design"? I even wrote to the designer of the starship interiors for the movie Alien but I have not heard back yet.
