I've been working on modeling classic gaming console boxes and creating dynamic game case systems in 3DS Max. Using textures generated in Nano Banana from Google reference images, I've created models for Power Glove, SNES, Genesis, N64, and various game boxes that can dynamically display any front-facing box art.

Hey everyone! In today’s blog, I’m going to be showing various boxes that I modeled in 3DS Max using textures that I generated in Nano Banana using reference pictures that I got off of Google for the Power Glove, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, N64, and various game boxes for those consoles as well.

3D modeled console boxes overview — Overview of the various console boxes I’ve been working on

Console Box Models

Let me walk you through each of the console boxes I’ve created. Starting with the classic systems:

Sega Genesis 32-bit Console

Here’s the box for the Sega Genesis 32 bit console.

Nintendo 64

This is a console box for the Nintendo 64 console.

Super Nintendo Entertainment System

This is a box for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

The Infamous Power Glove

This is a box for the Power Glove, which was a infamous accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Dynamic Game Box System

Now these next few 3D models I’m going to show you they were modeled around these dynamic textures. These dynamic textures are just a regular front on image of the front of the game box for a N64 game or SNES game or a Sega game or a Nintendo game. But the point is, it’s not a whole scan. It’s not like the box unfolded and unwrapped. It’s just the front because these are the easiest images to come by. So these dynamic cabinets are for showing that regular, easy to find image on the front and then a generic screenshot on the back. So they’re not replica cases. But they’re made to look kind of legit while being really easy to customize.

Here are some examples of the front-facing box art images that work perfectly with this system:

Zelda game box front art — Example of a front-facing game box image – perfect for the dynamic system

Street Fighter II Turbo box art — Street Fighter II Turbo – another example of easy-to-find front box art

Dynamic Models in Action

Here’s how these dynamic models look with the box art applied:

Here’s one of those dynamic models for the Sega Genesis for the West Marquis. The box art image that I just showed you slapped on to this model dynamically.
