Hi Mike,

no, I've done that with many cylinders, using
1. transform/array/curve,
2. transform/array/dir and than
3. the boolean-difference-function.

I have no idea how the flow-function exactly works. It's always a try&error game for me to build a perfect tire like you described on your homepage http://www.k4icy.com/tutorials.html

By the way - a very helpful site ...

another classic 60's piece of design,close to Braun razor

Philips portable record player







This kind of player was very popular here in Europe,it plays just 7" vinyl (45rpm )
So i got a question for you Americans:what is the right name for this?
I mean,doin' a search on the net (typing on Google image search=portable record player) i found on English sites just this kind of players,but these are turntables that can be opened, with an arm,a case with a handle..portable






I didn't found a compact one,like the model i did:totally closed,just insert your vinyl 7" and automatically start play.

Here another famous model shows what i mean.


I got suspect that these was producted just in Europe? Please gimme some information

Simple shapes (loft-bool diff-sweep for the belt)







a simple render




yesterday when i started to build the image waiting for some inspiration i listened on you tube 70's Funk music
so it gave me inspiration and final result turned out -Funk-
it's also a little tribute to JB and Sly Stone (they created that kind of music ! )

Different but... :)

That stuff is too far from me Pilou..too high..!
Background image i downloaded from Internet,i think is a wallpaper or something like that..
his orange-yellow rays helps to emphatize the 24mm fish-eye shot of my camera, focused on center:JB vinyl


Mike
follow this forum is also a way to learn some American
it's not so obvious that all the world could speak and understand 100% English-American
your answer gave me impulse to study the meaning so i switched on -Urban Dictionary- site
Being my image inspired by -70's Funk- i guess you mean this (second part of definition)




..and what about my previous question? What is right name for compact 7" vinyl portable player ?

You are correct!

But, perhaps "Groovy" would be a more 'record player' apt urban-slang term from the 60's and 70's. ;-)


>What is right name for compact 7" vinyl portable player ?

Probably just a 'Portable Turntable'. But I wouldn't know, I had them when I was a kid, but by the time I was a teen we had "boom boxes" to play cassette tapes.

Your last one Phillips in France was named a "mange disques" (an eating discs (?) )

Many thanks Mike !!

Pilou...you know we are cousins....

France=mange disques
Italia= mangiadischi

grazie !

Nice modeling. Someone should try modeling a Toot-a-Loop radio. I still have my old one, but it no longer works.

I dont think there will be "slang" for it. When I was a kid we just called them "record players" so for me, it would just be a "portable record player". "Urban dictionary" is a relatively new concept in that "all things must have some stupid, American slang".

Although, that thing is pretty Righteous, man!

cool idea that Toot-a-Loop radio
could turned out a good tutorial Mike... ;-)

Thanks Burr:we use a particular name for it so i supposed you too got a different name instead of general-portable record player-
regarding use of Urban Dictionary,many times comes in help to understand the meaning of phrases used like slangs
you are right:often we link American with slang,so a kind of easygoing leaguage opposite to English,linked to Oxford an so..
if i listen to a rap song i can understand 10%,if i listen to Annie Lennox i can understand 70%
(that's why she is Scottish,they use to pronunce -R- in a strong way like us Latins,so i easier.That's my mother-leanguage english teacher told me..)
this is my level:beginner ,so everything is good to learn...

"""""""""""if i listen to a rap song i can understand 10%,if i listen to Annie Lennox i can understand 70%""""""""""""

Thats why you should listen to Johnny Cash!!! :o

lol. It's all good m-dyn.

Hi SteveS,

one of these radios will work (I hope so ... 8-})

A new concept phone ? :)

Spooky, Moritz....

We think it and you model it. :-o


I've taken one or two of those apart as a kid.... then again, taking radios apart was a strange youthful avocation.

This heavy-duty-audio-player is a gift from my father ...

AEG....BASF...this is the core of Germany !!
Basf producted first magnetic audio tape in 1935(from Wiki)
i see the belt similar to my Philips:same years...
strong vignetting+AO give an "aged" look to your image
also toot-a-loop is cool

Bravo Herr Moritz !
