Rewind: 1970s toys

The 1970s room also contains other objects, such as a "Little Snoopy" wooden pull-toy.  I'm particularly pleased with this model considering how quickly it was produced.  It consists of 600 triangles (a relatively low poly-count for such a detailed model) but I'm sure that it could be optimised further with more time available.  All part of the learning process.




The toy is animated to mimic the motion caused by the lopsided wheels.


Another toy is the Simon electronic game, produced by MB Games.  In this case, to avoid trademark issues, I've renamed it "Malcolm".  In Rewind, players will be able to interact with this as a mini-game.


Finally, the View-Master shows stereoscopic images.  In this case I went with the original branding, not realising that they are still manufactured; as a result, the name will need to change.


The object is interactive in Rewind, with players able to look through the eyepieces to discover clues hidden among pictures.  These clues form the backbone of a treasure-hunt game.
