Pentax MZ-50
Posted: Tue Nov 21, 2006 9:32 pm
Hey there,
it's been a while
Yesterday I started to model my Pentax MZ-50 SLR in good ol' blender.
I didn't come very far but i thought, i'd post it here to force myself to keep working on it
Some info on the model:
The ribs on the large part of the lens are done using a bumpmap.
The ribs on the ring for the lens aperture are modelled.
I used photoshop to create the maps.
No reference but the actual model lying in front of me has been used. I guess i'll have to use some references for the body though, to be as accurate as possible.
Rendertime: about 30mins.
Current things to improve:
* use meshsmooth or subdivs to get rid of the ugly edges
* work on the material.. not "shiny" enough, yet.
* the uv mapping on the inner part (the scale) is a little distorted.
* bumpmap is a little over the edge
ok.. so here is the actual state:
comments & crits are highly appreciated. ^^
greetings,
kero (georgeblunt)
