The final animation, I used too few samples which unfortunately means you can really see denoising artefacts.

Chainsaw_Railgun.png

A 3D concept for a sci-fi railgun heavily inspired by contemporary chainsaws. In this project I used a a few new plugins (Boxcutter, Hard Ops), in order to learn proper hardsurface modelling techniques and workflow. I also animated this gun through a firing sequence, playing with different timing curves to create a tactile feeling with the various moving elements. I also did some basic special effects in post to add a laser to the firing sequence.
