Looking for anything from the late 1920s to early 1930, specifically need film and still cameras

    I don't know about the film and cameras, but Okham... Ockham... I forget the spelling, has a bunch of 30s-40s stuff... some of it leans towards toon, but it is pretty well done and detailed... it's at ShareCG.


    EDITED TO ADD: No cameras or film, but there are some phones and others things... its here:

    kool, he has a few things i can use. Really not going for toon style. Some of it may work with some re-texturing

    the Cameras are the biggie, really wanting those. Thanx for the link

    I know you said cheap/free...and this isn't either, but is it the style of camera you are looking for?

    And for still cameras, something like this?

    The couple of free ones I've found, that are similar detail, are not in any format that is usable by DS and the one that I tried to convert ate up 4 GB of RAM and 3 GB of swap space during the conversion...and then ended up with a bazillion poly OBj...and that was a smaller than Speed Graphix camera...it's a model of a Kodak from the same era (the poly count is several hundred thousand...and decimating it to something low enough to use would totally ruin it).

    It's an awkward era to try and find. There are at least a couple of turn of the century cameras out there. Which look reasonably well, even if not absolutely accurate. But mid-century is far less popular. It hasn't been taken up by the steampunk set.

    I have a really old out dated freebie film camera i picked up... sheesh i think i got it when i was working in Poser 4. No clue who made it, and it is a really bad model by todays standards. Looked awesome back then though. Anyway, I thought I might use that as a basis for building my own.

    its about time i learn to model stuff

    This may be a little early in period, but it may do. It's currently on sale for $4.76, but I’d hurry as the sale was supposed to end almost two weeks ago, so no telling how long it will remain that price.

    Yeah, that's one of the ones I was thinking of too. I suspect portrait studios may have still been using them in the '30s (the old guy who took the departmental group portraits at work was using one from about WWI era in the 1990s). But it's not what a photographer in the field would have had.

    no suggestions, but just a comment on the type of camera that is on a tripod with the folding box. It had glass plates prepared with a special light sensitive material instead of film.

    The grain was finer because of the emulsion. I used one in photography class in the 1980s! I think a tabloid or crime scene camera or one like WeeGee used would be great. It would have the flash bulb attachment and the same kind of collapsing box. And slightly to one side of topic, in an episode of "Eureka", the sy fy production, one of the characters finds some old 35 millmeter film and says, "now, we have to find someone old enough who knows how to develop it".

    What you are describing is the Speed Graphic that was linked to up thread. Pretty much your quintessential reporters' camera.

    BeyondVR has a camera that may work for you: http://www.sharecg.com/v/43077/gallery/11/Poser/620-Camera
    if only for distance shots. There's also a candlestick phone from about the same time: http://www.sharecg.com/v/43704/gallery/11/Poser/Candlestick-Phone
