Brownie Camera six-16

I have been working on this on and off for about a week... an hour to two hours a day. I found this little camera at a yard sale and decided to make this my next piece to practice material definition and texturing. Most of the base materials and colors are blocked in.

Any idea why I am getting the camera in the reflections of the side lenses? I am using the Complex Refraction shader to achieve as close of a realistic result that is currently possible in Marmoset. Thank you for your help and as always critiques and comments are always welcome!!

Any chance you could post your texture sheets I would be interested to see them

Nice work so far, working on a camera project myself at the moment.

Updated with some added wear to the leather and around the glass lens.

Awesome work! I like the texture work. It has a real aged feel. It would be great to see some wear on the bottom edges, in which it was put down on rough surfaces traveling. Also maybe a drink staining the outside by coffee or wine. Maybe also break up the painted parts with the paint wearing away or slight cracking. Just story telling suggestions. Keep up the great work.

That's some seriously awesome texture work! Your metal work is especially making this piece pop!


The normal work on the skin seems a little off at parts. Sometimes the fine lines raise up, while other times they appear to go down.

@stonedove: Thanks for the feedback!

@Marshkin: Thanks! I think that is the result of an effect that did not hold up due to texture res. So basically from looking at my camera, wherever the leather cracked, it rises up and then cracks.

Any suggestions on how I can achieve that effect without it looking odd. I am fairly noob in zbrush and I sculpted in the detail using an alpha that I made from a photo.

Finally able to make some progress on this this weekend. Really close to finishing this. I still have detail to add to the glass and some work to do on the handle. Once I finish this up I want to go back and get the textures ready for Marmoset 2. As always critiques welcome!

Bumping for feedback and reviews on materials and textures. Thanks!

Gonna call this piece finished. I am going to put this in my portfolio so if you see anything that does not read as a certain material please do not hesitate to point it out. I really wanted to try and nail the material definition on this piece. Hope yall like it!!

Programs used: 3Ds Max, Zbrush, Photoshop, Xnormal, Marmoset 2.
