Laser cannon

Hello everyone!

Here is my very first animation! It’s a cannon I modeled as a test for a friend’s game. I had to learn about rigging and how to animate the bones. I had great fun doing it! :slight_smile:

I decided to try to put some sound on it, so I picked some random one from the internet. It came out decent, in my opinion :slight_smile:
If you know a good creative common sound library, tell me in please.

The materials are made following the “Shading the Sci-Fi Helmet” course by Kent Trammell on cgcookie.


C&C are well accepted, but keep in mind that this is my first attemp to animate, so be gentle :smiley:

PS: a big thank goes to the guys on Sheep it! who allowed me to render this scene in 6 hours instead of 30+

Haha, cool! :slight_smile: I’d add a beam when shooting.

hahaha
that was amaszing XD
reminds me a little bit to that pixar lamp
the best part is that opening and closing.
i guess it will take some weeks until i found out how that works :smiley:

Thank you :slight_smile:
Yes, a beam would be really cool! :smiley:

Thank you :smiley:
The pixar lamp has been an inspiration, yes :smiley:
If you have any question, I will be happy to answer you (or try to, at least).

The textures look really cool.
