1950s Atompunk Raygun

A raygun inspired by the classic 1950s sci-fi film rayguns, with a touch of 1950s American auto design thrown in too.

Next I have to work out how to split it up for printing...

To get some more practice at hard surface modelling in ZBrush, as well as 3D printing prop guns, I decided to have a go at a Warhammer 40,000-inspired laspistol.

Light PanzerMech

To learn more about hard-surface modelling in ZBrush, I decided to have a go at sculpting an old concept for a dieselpunk mech.

And for fun, a blueprint-style render

Rigging & Animation

Once the sculpt was finished, I exported a lower-detail version to Maya so that I could rig it and animate a walk cycle.

Trying to learn a bit more ZBrush through the magic of YouTube tutorials

And if I've done this right, you'll be able to look around a lower-poly version of the model below

Atompunk Raygun Prop

My first attempt at molding & casting from a 3D printed master- a nice chunky atom-punk ray gun.
The design was modelling in Fusion 360, with ZBrush used for the more organic shapes & texture of the hand grips.

This years new-years resolution was to put up one "art" a week
Week 6, and I'm still on track

Atompunk Pistol Blueprints

I just found out that Fusion 360 lets you generate blueprints easily, so here's a preview of my next 3D printed prop project
