While building my Hose Connector model I needed to take a photo of the original.
Every time I have to do that I set up a temporary makeshift stage on a stool or table.
The problem is the camera never ends up where I can comfortably get my eye lined up with the viewfinder.
This last time I couldn't sit on the floor or a chair or a box and still
be able to take a good picture without getting a crick in my neck.
I finally realized I needed to set the camera up at a comfortable level
first, and then I put up a shelf at the proper height for the stage.
Now it will be much easier to snap a pic for a blueprint image...
Like this little Nalgene Bottle I used for my first test subject.
At about 31mm in diameter these are very small and I have a big
bag of them for applying colored epoxy enamel to my silver work.
The shape is nothing special but the semi transparent/translucent plastic is a challenge.
First I tried the Membrane Shader but it wasn't good enough.
Then I remembered how to use transparency with the PBR Shader.
