Product Illustration :: iMove SVS-2500 Spherical Video System
 

Hi All,

I work for iMove, Inc. (That name might ring a bell for a couple of you.) We developed a spherical video camera. Recently, I was asked to build a 3D model of it for illustration and promotion purposes. I receieved permission to publish the artwork, so here you go!

Here's the other side of the camera:

And here's a closeup:

The polycount is pretty high in this model, but I need to mention that it's meant to survive being rendered for a tradeshow render. I printed it at 17" the other day, and boy did it look nice! Curious at what it looks at print resolution? Have a look at these earlier renders:

(warning: These are a couple of revisions old.)

Enjoy!

[Edit: Oops! Forgot to mention this was rendered with Lightwave 7.5c.]

Wow that's sweet :)

Very nice work.. just out of curiosity, what is a camera like that used for?

excelent work !

Ditto DigiMatt. What is that camera used for? I bet it'd be great for HDR images. :D

I just saw the wireframe, and it's extremly highpoly...how long was the render???

Omg how good does that look. Keep up the good work.

Man there should be more smileys here,,, like at sm. Well simply rocks... :) :) Hope one day, i get to do stuff like that... If i do get something like that,,, then prob... will have a change in working lifestyles... Hehehe.... Very nice dude.

Thank you all!

@DigiMatt: Well I can't go into a whole lot of detail. It's good for capturing environmental detail. One of the most interesting uses we've had for it was for mounting it on top of a car and driving around. The resulting footage can be quite useful in giving people an idea of an area without having been there.

@kumar: Hehe I get what you mean. But hey, why not pick up something interesting in your house and make a model of it?

Hmm, thats a thought. :)
