  • Excellent job. But why on earth did you use an ancient IDE drive? You can get a modern SATA drive for $50 to measure and use in your 3D software. Also, those screws are not Phillips... they're all hex screws on hard drives.

  • @ciphernemo Because IDE connector is far more interesting (in 3d way) than new SATA connector.

  • genialne odwzorowanie dysku :D szacun

    takie pytanko ile cały model dysku posiada vertexów/polygonów?

  • @miciok94 Dzieki :) Gdyby nie gwinty na srubkach i gdyby poświęcić troszkę więcej czasu na czyszczenie modelu pod względem siatki, myślę że zmieściłbym się w 20 tysiącach trójkątów. Jednakże nie zależało mi za bardzo na małej ilości poly a z całością się spieszyłem więc skończyło się około na 60k trisów...

  • Thanks a lot brother, now i got clear idea about the traditional hard drive. Now i am going to explain this to my students. thanks for posting this vedio.

  • Now do one with the iPhone 4S!

  • each platter has two read/write heads XD i was correct

  • Awesome 

  • Pretty nice and detailed animation, though that I it is not fair to leave out that the screws is not turned to get out, since you made a lodt of ther nice effects. :D

  • its awesome. but do it whith better light reflections next time, okay?

  • Amazing, but why?

  • @ciphernemo actaully some harddrives (Samsung) use phillips head. And most use Torx. not hex. The problem with phillips is they strip easily. I have taken apart a hard drive that is almost hte exact same as this one. Except it was an 80GB not 160.

  • did you model this?

  • Woowww! Excellent! I feel so noob when I compare your work to mine!

    Keep the good work ! Should be so great if you could make a tutorial... I'm also curious how you used CryEngine...
