Add 3D Console Models to Platform Details

📋 Summary

Add support for displaying 3D console or hardware models when viewing platform details.


❗ Problem

LaunchBox can display attractive 3D-style game media, but platform pages are more limited visually.

When users browse by platform, it would be useful if the selected platform could show a 3D model or render of the console itself, similar to how selected games can show 3D box artwork.


💡 Proposal

Add a platform media type for 3D console or hardware models.

When a user selects a platform such as PlayStation, Nintendo 64, or Sega Genesis, the platform details area could display the associated 3D console model if available.


🧩 Use Cases

  • Show a 3D PlayStation model when selecting the PlayStation platform

  • Improve platform browsing in LaunchBox and potentially Big Box themes

  • Give hardware-focused collections a richer presentation

  • Allow theme creators to use platform hardware models in layouts


📦 Benefits

  • Makes platform browsing more visually engaging

  • Brings platform presentation closer to game presentation quality

  • Adds more flexibility for themes and custom setups

  • Highlights console hardware as part of the collection experience
