This is my first WIP thread. Today I’ll be showing a pocket watch project which I started last night.
Currently I have modeled only the chain because I wanted to try different materials in it.
What do you think of it? Modelling, materials, texture, does it look fine? In my eyes it doesn’t look bad, but I’m a beginner, so your opinions and/or critiques are appreciated. Thanks!
(Updates may take some time.)
Great job! Is that just a material, no texture? I need to make one / get a volunteer to make one like that for my WW1 movie project, have any tips?
Nice chain! The watch face is recessed unusually far into the bezel, though.

I have used a golden glossy material combined with a simple noise texture. Here are my settings:
Depending on the size of your mesh, I recommend you to play with the noise properties until you get a nice looking result. When do you need that done? Maybe I can help you.
Thank you for the feedback, Robert!

Thank you, Tyto! Yeah, you are right. I have used a simple watch as reference image and I forgot to fix that up. xD
Thank you for the tip.
Might I suggest using a HDRI texture as a reflection texture to your gold material? It adds a bit of depth and life to the image 
3 weeks… It’s a big time, I think I can do that! I’ll keep in touch.
Numbers still look a bit small, not sure if that’s the style of the watch?
@Robert_Banks
I fixed that, thanks!
I’m rendering the final product now, I will post it as soon as I can.
