Show HN: A working 3D model of an Enigma machine
I watched the excellent Veritasium video [1] on the Enigma machine, and watched the full animation by Jared Owen [2], but was still a bit confused on how the inner mechanics of an Enigma machine work. I used Astra to build out the inner components through a combination of reference images, writing out hundreds of extremely detailed prompts, and building my own inspection tools to ensure that every part is sized and positioned in a historically accurate way.<p>It's still a work in progress, but would love any feedback on the experience so far!<p>1. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsBZOcqZerk" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsBZOcqZerk</a> 2. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybkkiGtJmkM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybkkiGtJmkM</a>
