Just old binoculars I have at home made in MoI.
Full post on my portfolio here.

Tiny detail:



Raw render from Cinema 4D

Like that very much, they look almost like pencil sketches .... Hope you managed to put them back together again after the modelling process - lol

Nice!

nice vintage look and great eye catching proportions:Bravo' !

Well I didn't disassembled them aha. I just guessed how the inside looked.

Here's a picture of the original binoculars (crappy iPhone camera photoshoped).
It's a tiny object, my version look bigger because there's no scratches on it so you can't guess the size.

I exaggerated the proportions on purpose to make them better (based on my own tastes).
For example I modified the center knob to be smaller and more subtle. I also added two pieces (rings on the back before the lenses).

Glad you like it :) Will maybe provide the model to download (need to clean it up a bit).

Great reproduction DesuDeus! Your site is very nice too!

Hi DesuDeus, this one is really cool, love the old style technical drawing look!

Very nice images!

What kind of effect did you use in Photoshop to make the grain like this?

Marc

Well first of all there's already a bit of grain because of the low settings in the Cinema 4D physical render (due to reflection sampling)

Then I used Toycamera analog color to add some grain. Then a simple Photoshop noise (using filters -> add noise)

Finally I used a smart sharpen filter (75%, 0.3 pixels, accurate)

Here's the raw Cinema 4D render :)

It still looks good, but that PS filter certainly did the business. Like the old adage - simple is best. But that style rocks, and I for one would love to see more from you with that same technique...

Excellent work DesuDeus

Martin

The lighthing is also super simple (but there's some tricks)

So first of all there's a sphere around the scene that's 20% white (that mean no reflections are pure black)
Then I added four point lights, they only affect the specularity of the material !
There's a also two discs (show here as white squares) that are 100% white and emit light.

There's some depth of field, subtle ambient occlusion and blurred reflections (around 30% blurry).

Now here's the fun part, the material :)

It's not an accurate metal at all it's all faked !

First of all there's specularity (now you clearly see those 4 points lights and their effect)



Then you add some fresnel in the luminosity channel (to get more highlights)



Now here's just the reflection channel, it's boring and dull !



But here's the result with specularity + fresnel added to that reflection channel... Yummy :)

Tricky! :)

Very interesting!
Thanks for taking the time.

Ha, one of the few times render sampling graininess works to your advantage! :)

- Michael

Yes and the only other way to get this effect with higher render sampling is to apply a very fine grain in the bump channel like here http://shapenoid.com/Maxwell-render-shaders-tryouts
