I made this sci-fi pistol back in 2020 from a CG COOKIE tutorial on modeling FPS weapons. Pretty sure this course still holds up today—and I’m still happy with the result! Just set up a quick 3-point light and screen-grabbed the viewport in Cycles. Looks ace! #3DModeling

GN understanding has mostly eluded me, but I learned a *ton* from reviewing this course. Mike Hodgetts is a nodes wizard.

I had a ton of fun developing this trailer sequence with Chunck and Wayne Dixon ( @[email protected] ). Chunck came up with the original culinary analogy and the final open oven shot, I developed the rest of the scene/shots and Wayne animated the robot. Really happy with the way it came out!
