Well, I make a really REALLY quick concept. It's a photo-montage ( I think you call it the same way than in french because I heard it in a White Stripes song)
So, the scene take place in an hospital room where we can see a camera in a very bad condition and a nice nurse (:p ) who is there to give him a new battery. I put the picture concept but I think I'll do it a very different way, it's just to give you what I have in my mind.
Hope you like it
P.S : I used "The Gimp", first time, because Photoshop slow down this comp. I don't know why 'cause Maya runs well. This is why this pic is so crappy.

Thanks for the suggestion t1ck135. Maybe I will put a thermometer in the lens. It's a good idea. user added image

Yep, inorganic and organic challenge user added image

I like it. It's a big one but the first goal of this contest is to learn.

Today, I start the front of the camera. Still in progress ...

P.S : I don't know if I can tell the digital camera model I try to reproduce user added image

I'm really bad in rendering things. So I try Maxwell Render. The only thing you have to tell is how long the render will take ... and put the sun in the right direction. But I think with Global Illumination in Mental ray you can get the same result. The bad thing is that Maxwell take a lot of time to render a single picture. This one took 30 minutes and I use another software to put off the noise. Maxwell render have grainy result if you don't let it enough time.

But for the final pic, I will try to use Maya to learn how to render nice indoor shot. user added image

P.S : "global illumination mental ray" and you will find nice tutorials on google. I'll take a look later on them.
