Game Art Workshop - Workshop #5 - Leica M3

Pedro Amorim · 03:50 PM

So yeah.. New workshop..

Workshop #5 is about modeling a photo camera. Specifically a Leica M3.

More pics: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography...4-60/index.htm

So, yeah, let's focus on pure SDS modeling right here gentleman.
ALSO, I encourage you guys to post OBJ's, wireframes, videos walktroughs of your modeling process, to help other people modling the same camera.

The focus here is to learn from each other.~

SO.. with that in mind.. Let's do this!

EDIT:
"For an extra challenge/bit of freedom, model a lens from: http://www.rglewis.co.uk/LEICA/M/M_L...Lens_Range.htm

It may look simple at first, but there are some more complex shapes that will be easy to screw up if you're not careful.

In related news, this picture of a cat was taken with a photo camera.

About bloody time another one of these buggers got kicked out. Can't wait to start!

Never been in one of these but is there a certain time period? Sorta cramped from assignments and would love to take a stab at this during holidays.

I think is a real challenging workshop...

Question***, are there any technical limits for this workshop?

This reminds me of "Fatal Frame" :P...

No technical limits.

Just go ahead and model this camera in Hipoly

I can't wait to see the SDS for this workshop. I'm such a stickler for SDS. Please many SDS

i really want to do this workshop! Does it start now? and when does it end? <_<

EarthQuake · on 11-12-2010 02:16 PM

It starts now, as with all of the workshops, there is no "end date", its more about sharing workflows and progress than competing or trying to finish on time.

So, go start!

Pedro Amorim · on 11-12-2010 03:22 PM

it started tuesday!

Jungsik · on 11-12-2010 05:52 PM

Raxlot · on 01-22-2011 03:21 AM

Looks like fun, I'll see what I can have done by tomorrow night.

Dr Stench · on 02-14-2011 04:00 PM

Haven't touched 3D software in a while. Let's see how much I will ruin this thing.

King Mango · on 04-06-2012 07:12 PM

Does it HAVE to be subD? I haven't really used it. Wouldn't mind having this on the side for when I get burned out on my UDK project if I could do polys.

AlexCatMasterSupreme · on 06-11-2012 11:36 AM

If I wasn't feeling so overwhelemed and working on another project I'd do this right away. Still might.
Since It's a game art workshop do we have to bake it down?
I'm very new and truly suck at bakes:/

peanutBK · on 02-24-2013 10:33 PM

I think I'm going to take a go at this, the only thing I am unsure about is how to extract the circles out of a flat surface in maya. Would I want to do hard surface modeling toggling back and forth from smooth view, or simply double-extrude and and move around vertices?

Thank you in advance
