Tippmann Factory F/A

So i hadnt built a paintball gun in a while. I did almost all the work on this on my PC a week or so ago, then my PC went “I canna hold it anymore captain!” zzzzap die and i went “Arrrgh you piece of #%&*^# i hate you, go to hell!”.

I was morose because i had no blender, and my blend files were stuck on my NTFS formatted drive in my PC case, of which the drive integrity was in question.

Then suddenly i remembed. About 3 days before my PC pulled its star trek 3, i had burned ALLLLLL my blender stuff including 200mb worth of textures, and all my apps and programs to a fat DVD. So i pulled the Factory F/A that i was dying to play with, and fired up the amazingly stable on OSX 2.29 and finished it off.

So yeah…Here it is

Ah well, you can see my chrome settings in that screenshot. I usually crank ref, crank spec, then add an image texture and just pick some random image (usually a funny picture of me) and set it to refl mapping. Toggle csp and cmir and drop col and var. Viola, chrome with fakie envmap.

you should Yafray it, it would look even cooler than it already is.

great job!

and i too want a paintball gun :expressionless:
