I started out playing with booleans and ended up with some shapes that reminded me of home computing in the 80s; the Atari and Commodore era. So I put a sci-fi spin on it and turned it into a game-ready model.
I was impatient when it came to moving over to Substance Painter so there is some wasted texture space on some interior faces that really should have been removed.
