Bill,

nice work !

Perhaps you can model the electronics some times. I noticed that rendering
time rises if you put something into the transparent model (or even if you
only use a transparent model).

What about modeling 2 Versions? One for general work (without details, not
even transparent) and one for final rendering (transparent with PCB,...),
where rendering time doesn't matter.

Thanks again, best regards,

Rainer

Rainer,

Thank you for your suggestions.  I added the lens like you suggested:

I decided not to try to model the electronics of the camera to keep the
rendering time down.  I could model the PCB as a simple box, but it is
really a complex shape and modelling it correctly could really slow down
rendering.

Next time I open up my camera, I'll try to measure the PCB and see what I
can do.

Hi Bill,

thanks a lot !
Sorry for beeing such late with answering.

I like your model very much.

I did'nt know that there are such good transparent parts !

I've got some suggestions.
(Please remember I'm new to MLCAD and i don't know the effort of doing what
i'm going to tell you ;-) )

First i miss the PCB in your transparent model.
(That's perhaps too simple, but for example add 3762.dat (Glass for Windows
1x6x5) in dark green ? Okay, it's a little too small, but it's just an idea)

Second i miss the lens. I guess the red LED you use in your model would make
a good job here

Thank you very much, best regards,

Rainer
