    Wow, great tutorial. This was a great way for me to really learn some new techniques! Thank you!

  • Skunkie

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

  • margaret

    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.

      yeah i totally agree. it takes some awesome skills to create photo realistic stuff in illustrator, but i love seeing it…. tough to make it not cartoony

  • Oliver

    WOW! Cant read the tutorias, but the result is amazing!

  • CreativePoint

    something is wrong with reflection …

    Wow! This is better than real… Great job Nikola :)

  • Theo Hodkin

    Niiice! Great effect, and the results are near photo-realistic! Great job.

  • Arcturus

    The camera looks great, but you definitely would need to completely redo the lens in the reflection to something that’s actually possible.

  • Tyson

    This should be FREE to the public. Knowledge should not have a price.

    • margaret

      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

      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

    Sweet! Your gradients are superb.

  • bang

    this is simply amazing
    so many details
    awesome work

    Not a plus member, but this looks great!

    Only issue is in the first preview shot, the reflection is a dud :P

    • Jonathan

      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.

    where is the tutorial…:((

    used to love this site but i think am gonna 2 b a minus

    best wishes 4 u

  • Michael

    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

    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.
