The mirror reflects the sun through the shades after alignment.
The image of the sun reflects off a secondary mirror and into the telescopic lens, aligning with the horizon.
The two lens objects feature curved glass to simulate magnified light refraction.
The Mirror material includes subtle signs of damage, affecting the light refraction.
The Brass material was adapted from the Spyglass, and consists of subtle surface pitting + discolouration.
The Ebony material has a low amount of light refraction and variable roughness. Edge-wear was overlaid to simulate the reduction of varnish.
The Metal features such as screws were adapted from the Marine Chronometer.
The Ivory plates include an engraving feature, which generates noise, edge-softening, normal displacement, and roughness variation.
Ivory plates were also used for the scale measurements and, due to the higher amount of shadows, subsurface scattering is more prominent.
