Wrinkle paint
-
I am modeling an old motion picture camera and can not find a good wrinkle paint texture. Can anyone recommend a source. I don't want to tile so I need a 10"x10" sample.
Thanks -

Roger, are you planning to render it?
The reason is then you can use a procedural bump, it's hard to find a photo texture as the wrinkles react with light and shadow for real effect.

Is "procedural bump" and "bump map" the same thing?
I was planning using a flatly lit texture photo on top of a bump map made from the same photo.

Dear Roger,
Is the attached of any use?
Watkins, I appreciate the help and will find a use for that texture, but what I am looking for is more like a bucket of humping worms when seen up close.

The red one turned out to be excellent once I changed the color. So for the best result I should use a flat color and use the texture to build a bump map?

Glad you found one texture useful.

Bob let me know if you ever need a texture or scene you can not find and I will shoot it for you if I have the material available. Gratis.

Roger, at CGTextures, on the left bottom, there is a whole library of different wrinkles you may use to start with.

Great resource, Thanks Gaius.

A test of the wrinkle paint. Many small parts still to be created and attached to the camera.

Roger, that looks like a cool project. What kind (make, model) of camera is it? I remember that paint finish on many old movie cameras and projectors. Durable stuff.

It is a 16mm Bell and Howell Filmo (D70) which is the little brother to the 35mm Bell and Howell Eyemo. They were standard issue for Army motion picture photographers in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. I used this kind of camera to film Special Forces operations in Vietnam and clips from my footage were used in episodes of the History Channel's Suicide Missions Series (MACV/SOG Vietnam and Mike Force)and Discovery Channel Wing's program Dustoff: Helicopter Ambulance Operations over Vietnam. The empty camera weighs seven pounds which with 10 100ft reels of film would be roughly equal to an M16 rifle with a loaded 30 round mag (8.7 pounds).
If push came to shove, it could also be used for close quarters combat.

Does anyone remember the Brownie Box Camera? I still remember my dad looking into the viewfinder and waving his hand to get us to bunch up closer. I still have the camera.

Roger, I remember seeing the Filmo in the display case of old cameras at the last camera store in which I worked.
Bob, I still have one of each of the two with the red arrows. The upper one belonged to my grandmother and the lower one to my mother.
They are still functional but I don't think the film is available anymore. I used to have quite a collection of old cameras, many of which I used from time to time. They've nearly all been given away except those two. -
I have the upper one, and I keep it in memory of my happy childhood and my long departed parents. Generally, and unlike today, the camera was only used to record holiday moments (at the zoo, on the boating lake etc) as buying and developing film was considered a bit of a luxury in the 50s. There are few if any photos of birthdays, Christmas etc.

When I was working in the camera stores it wasn't unusual to see the pictures from the little old ladies in which there would be two consecutive Christmases on the same roll.

I have some camera's that would have stories to tell if they could only talk.
