MGD-09 Programming Device

I saw Mike Garn's concept and I thought it was super cool and wanted to make a game ready version of it. I loved the functionality of the concept and how it felt futuristic yet grounded by its retro design.

I tried to stay true to the concept but ended up changing some things, for example the number pads have more of a rubber feel. The shape of the beveled buttons on the concept felt more like a hard plastic and not like rubber, so I wanted to change that. I also did this to help breakup the roughness values in the textures because everything was too similar in values. Also the concept is relativity polished so I wanted to stride away from that a tad bit. My main goal for texturing was to make the device feel old; but also looked like people still used it.
