[WIP] RED V-Raptor camera, Plasticity practice

3d_legionary · Jun 23 2025

It's my first WIP post here, but not my first model in Plasticity. I bought it about two years ago and have used it occasionally for small tasks. However, the gaps between my uses were too long, so every time I came back, I had to learn it almost from the very beginning. That's why I decided to make something big, with lots of details.

Main goals:
- To get comfortable with Plasticity and it's logic and methods.
- To assign convenient hotkeys.
- To create a good, complex piece for my portfolio.

The main object I'm modeling is a RED V-Raptor camera

Later I'll make a cage and a rig for it. Don't know configuration yet. But most parts will be from Tilta.

I have old version 1.4.20. So no fancy things like xNURBS. But I don't think they are needed for such project.

Alright, i saw these or a similar one on a tech channel they spoke of how accurate and stuff it is, i am not a camera guy or anything i just know they are insanely expensive.

Hope it turns out the same as irl if that is the goal, near project to watch, will be checking in from time to time just to see the progress but wanted to say this is pretty neat looking once complete and even possibly needed if you decide to "sell", it at the end to any production environments. I didn't check if someone has already done this, sell camera objects.

Front part is ready. Except screw holes. I'll add details to them at the very end.

Are 800px wide images ok to see the details? Or someone needs full res?

Your knurling is looking sweet and as for image resolution it's good enough, people can always open in a new tab to zoom in if they so wish.
