This began as a half hour speed model in 3ds Max. I ended up spending an additional five hours polishing it.

Is your name Bill Hicks?

Yes, my name is Bill Hicks.

The render doesn't look too bad, but please, please PLEASE don't upload that big of an image. I waited the ~1 minute for the load time out of politeness, but many people will skip over it if the image takes too long.

Nice render, cool idea!

Also, I like your website url, heh.

The file isn't THAT big... I see big images on this site all the time. Loaded up instantly for me.

Is that Elvish script along the edge of the lens?

Looks okay so far; the wooden handle could use a specmap, along with the lens itself (dust/scratches)

Thanks for the feedback!! I'll try to keep future images a bit smaller. I found the map and Elvish script references online and worked them into the image. I'm looking forward to polishing this scene some more. (I want to change the sky dome. The image has an "inside" feel to it, so the cloud refelections seem out of place. )
