Important Notes

- All required textures are packed in the blend file. Should there be any issues with them, there is an included “Textures” folder that contains every texture file in png format.

- Not every object uses textures. The objects that do not use textures use Blender materials created using Blender’s standard shader editor.

- All featured images were rendered using Cycles. However, the model can still be rendered in EEVEE.

- The “glass” material contains two node groups: one optimized for cycles, and one optimized for EEVEE. The selected node group should correspond with the render engine being used.

- The parent objects that contain the components of each object (named iMac, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad) can be used to perform transformations including location, rotation, and scale. These parent objects can also be used to perform various actions on the objects including toggling the camera indicator, toggling the caps lock indicator, changing color, adjusting the keyboard backlight strength, and choosing a wallpaper option.

- The custom properties contained within the parent objects can be found in two places: The “Custom Properties” drop-down in the “Object Properties” tab or the “Properties” drop down in the “Item” tab.

- The first custom property on the iMac parent object is the Camera Indicator toggle. This toggle can be used to enable or disable the camera indicator light right next to the webcam on the top of the screen.

- The second custom property on the iMac parent object is the Color Option selector. This custom property is an integer value from 1 to 2 that drives the factor of a more in-depth Color Ramp node group. The iMac has 7 color options. This factor value cycles through the iMac’s 7 color options: Blue, Green, Pink, Silver, Yellow, Orange, and Purple. The displayed factory wallpaper depends on the selected color and will change with the color. There is a specific factory wallpaper for each color option.

- The third custom property on the iMac parent object is the Power Connector Color Option selector. This does the same color cycling as the previous custom property; however, it only applies to the included power cable/connector.

- The fourth custom property on the iMac parent object is the wallpaper toggle. This custom property is an integer value between 0 and 1 that drives the factor of a mix node in the screen material that affects the displayed wallpaper. The toggle can be used to display one of the factory wallpapers, a custom wallpaper the user can choose, or a desktop screen whose dimensions match the iMac’s screen resolution. When set to 0, the wallpaper would be set to a factory wallpaper. When set to 1, the wallpaper would be set to a custom wallpaper chosen by the user. To change this wallpaper, go to the node tree of the screen material and change the image in the Custom Wallpaper frame. The screen material can support both square aspect-ratio images, or a 16:9 aspect-ratio image that matches the screen’s aspect ratio. To switch between these, just change the UV map on the UV node to Square Aspect Ratio or iMac Aspect Ratio depending on the image.

- The first custom property on the Magic Keyboard parent object is the Caps Lock Indicator toggle. This toggle can be used to enable or disable the indicator light on the Caps Lock key.

- The second custom property on the Magic Keyboard parent object is the Color Option selector. As previously described, this cycles through the iMac’s color options; however, in this case, it independently applies to the keyboard.

- The third custom property on the Magic Keyboard parent object is the Keyboard Backlight slider. This custom property is a float value from 0 to 2 (precise to the 3rd decimal place) that drives the emission strength slider in the keyboard material. This slider can be used to increase and decrease the brightness of the keyboard backlight, where 0 would be the minimum brightness (off), and 2 would be the maximum brightness.

- The custom property on the Magic Trackpad parent object is the Color Option selector. As previously described, this also cycles through the iMac’s color options; however, it independently applies to the trackpad.
