Antique Camera
This is one of the first projects I created with the goal to create a replica of a real object. In this case, I chose an antique camera, specifically a 3A Folding Pocket Kodak.
With its dark leather case, velvet red bellows, and silver accents I found the idea of recreating this antique to be both a challenge and something I immensely enjoyed. When I was young I'd always been fascinated with photography and lighting and this gave me an opportunity to combine both an old hobby as well as my new passion in 3D modeling.
Using 3Ds Max, I preplanned which parts of the model itself I'd like to create as separate elements. Once that was decided I started to create the overall model, beginning with the larger aspects (such as the case) and ending with the smaller details which included the bolts and hinges.
