Tips on how to achieve this button.

[Bull Shark]

Hi all,

I’m making buttons for a digital button box used with sim racing. I’ve made some square buttons in pressed and unpressed state which worked out really well. See image.

 Now I want to make a so called rocker-switch. The shape is no problem but as you see the button from above it is for me a bit hard to make.

‘The button tilts when pressing. When pressed the top side is more downwards to the baseplate, when unpressed the bottom side is more towards the baseplate. With the square buttons it was no problem as the whole button is downwards when pressed and I could achieve this with 3D and bevel and emboss etc.

The first picture are examples of the square buttons I’ve made. The other 3 are photo’s of the actual rocker-switch button which I like to remake. Can somebody give tips or an example on how this can be done. I’m new to Infinity Designer and I really don’t know how to do this.

thanks in advance.

The main thing I notice in the photos is that there’s a highlight across the top of each switch. You can achieve this by covering the button with a white square that has a linear gradient transparency applied (and, if needed, you can create a shadow at the opposite edge by using a black square with a linear gradient transparency).

Yeah will give it a go. Thanks for the tip. 😁
