This is my Chinon 1200 sm 8mm film camera, which is a really nice 8mm film camera producing excellent looking footage. Allthough abit grainy , but that's what 8mm is all about!

It was a fun project to do, trying to improve my hardbody-modeling skills aswell as increasing the level of realism of my work. I tried to give the image a "nostalgic look" to set the image apart from other "product renderings". I included some lens artifacts on the image, so that some of the highlights would color off and produce an rgb-offset effect to simulate as if the image had been taken with a bad lens.

Everything is polymodeled in max, rendered in vray and mental ray, all textures handpainted in photoshop (except texture on film-cartridge) and post done in Fusion5.

Image showing the wireframe of the scene, i spent a fair time modeling both sides of the camera, every part that was visible from the outside of the camera-body as well as internal parts of the lens.(click for biggie)
