I got the microscope this far, cleaned up meshes for everything, ready to assemble and texture...

And realized I forgot the knobs.

Come visit us at RenderGods.

Ignore the shooty dog thing.

Can anyone spot any issues so far (apart from the lack of knobs)? Also, please let me know if the gold or black plastic works better, I haven't had much time to really look at it yet.

On another note, anyone interested in the model as a freebie when (if) I finally finish it?

Mahray Edit - Ignore the browny texture at the back, that's just so the detail can be seen.

Where are the knobs? Just kidding. I can't remember your reference picture. But my microscope has clips to hold the slide in place. Dunno. Looking pretty good to me.

(not going near the knobs) ;) 2 items.... #1 the body color is too dark to show shadow, contour & detail. (are these going to be the colors loaded into the OBP.file?) #2 your enviroment is too stark bright white. May want to try a GI set up. Excellent modeling!! ICM

Just a suggestion.... From many, many years ago, the memories of my science classes surface... I thought the standard color for microscopes was a mid-tone, pebble-finish grey? With silver/steel metal parts? Or has the 'standard' changed since my day? (Long past, I admit!)

There's plenty of room for variety: different manufacturers, different times of manufacture, different materials, different finishes. Also they can differ quite a bit on features: Reflecting mirror? Lightbulb? Built in filters? Single magnification? Triple? Swappable lens sets? There isn't really a standard for microscopes, other than the fact they can magnify stuff and do so with some degree of clarity.

Ive got a red one... of course the fact that mine's plastic may have something to do with that. (ggg) but it still works - takes pictures too, AND projects images on a wall - okay, so they can be rather fuzzy, but what can you expect from a plastic microscope? It even has a light you can switch on and off by swivelling it around - it sits just under the slide platform. Er... does yours need a light? Or is that internal? Otherwise it looks pretty much how I remember the University ones used to. Good stuff. Fran

wolly knob wobler

for some free stuff i made
and for almost daily fotos

11th grade physiology microscopes at my school are cheap white plastic. I was not aware they sold stock microscopes at CostCo ...

My old one from childhood is black metal just like this!

Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!

Those are some nice knobs snicker, but as a matter of pride I want to do everything myself.

It's not a very good pic, but this is one of the modern variety.

Mahray: Underneath the lense is a square 'table' which you rest or clip the slides on. But you need a hole in it for the light to shine through from underneath. I don't see that on your model.

Sorry, I thought you were looking for some knobs for your model.
