Description
Sometimes one can save time by just junking the whole thing and starting over...which is what I did here. All I kept was the Cylinder.
Carrara7.2 Pro. Line imports in .AI format via CorelDraw. No postwork.

Very nice. Yes, definitely better than the original, although I didn't think that one was bad either. The shaders look much better too, especially the cartridges and the grips. For the pistol itself, were you trying for a low-sheen-tactical anodized finish, or traditional blued? It looks anodized to me. Nice work!
great lighting!!!
EXCELLENT work! (I have to say, though, I worry. After all your social commentary pieces, I hope that you haven't given into a "Second Amendment" solution). WINK. After all, 'politicians' are like 'mosquitos'. There are far too many of them to ever wipe out and as they continually suck blood from you. SMILES. My BEST to you and yours, KIND SOUL.

Nice job mr Intro!!! keep eveolutioning you could reach realistic level as fast as you want.
Great piece of modeling Nice materials!
I agree - sometimes you just have to start over!! Very well done.
@NetWorthy, actually, I was on the fence, as the shader will attest. Most of what I do is largely impressionist, which causes problems when reality comes a knockin'. Sorta halfway between a tuxedo and kevlar:) @ DustRider But after beating your head against a wall for days wrangling a model, it's tough to pull the plug:)
I think it is very well done.
Very well done art. However, never, ever, ever give up. On life, or anything that's worthwhile.
@ artformz2 I gave up trying to render better images than yours a LOOOOONG time ago!
