Looks really professional. Can’t wait to jump on it!

WOW, this is in Illustrator!?
( )It always amazes me when the results are so photo realistic. Anything I ever create in Illustrator ends up looking cartoonish. I always turn to Photoshop for my renderings…
I wish PSD tuts had more tuts on how to render images like this in Photoshop.

The camera looks great, but you definitely would need to completely redo the lens in the reflection to something that’s actually possible.
( )Tyson September 16th
This should be FREE to the public. Knowledge should not have a price.
( )margaret September 17th
anything good comes with a price.
( )They charge money for Plus tuts so they can keep the site running at it’s current caliber. You wouldn’t complain about purchasing a magazine with the same full content
Skellie September 17th
Teachers like Nikola also need to be paid – fairly. We need some revenue in order to be able to pay authors a fair price for wonderful content like this.
( )Jonathan September 16th
Sweet! Your gradients are superb.
( )bang September 16th

( )so many details
awesome work
Mike September 16th
Not a plus member, but this looks great!
Only issue is in the first preview shot, the reflection is a dud
( )Jonathan September 16th
To expand on this and give you some constructive criticism, the reflection shouldn’t be a flipped version of the camera. Rather, it should reflect what the eye would see if you were looking at it from below.
( )hossart September 17th
where is the tutorial…:((
used to love this site but i think am gonna 2 b a minus
best wishes 4 u

Looks like a great camera design … but what others said about reflection is definitely true … it is really messed up. A reflection of a 3D object is not a simple flip.
( )Nikola Adzic September 18th
Thanks for the constuctive critics, but I did`t simply flipped the object. The ONLY problem on this reflection is a reflection of the back part of the camera, because it should be very close to the camera. This is the only oversight on this reflection. When You look at the free-standing object, its reflection follows the original object. Otherwise, it will look like a `flying` object.
