Yaesu HAM Radio

Yaesu is a Japanese brand of commercial and amateur radio equipment. Their flagship transceiver was the FTDX9000. I'm a fan of complex looking interfaces with lots of knobs and buttons, and it simply doesn't get much knobbier and button strewn as this. CAD modeling accomplished with AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor. Front panel printing and display images created in CorelDRAW, and exported as images and masks for use in 3DS MAX. Rendered with Corona Renderer.
