1911 assembly 3D animation
This amazing 3D animation shows a 1911 being assembled. Made with the free open source Blender software, it is the best video I have seen on the internet in a long time.
The description:
This is an animation i made in blender of a colt 1911. all of the parts are modeled to blueprint specifications
it took me about 100 … all hours to model all of the pieces and about 10 to get the animation done. rendering was a multipass process, using yafray for a high quality GI render, then using blender for a post process DOF blur total rendering time was around 500 hours on a core 2 quad
I have a friend who can make some amazing models using blender. I have tried but I am not very skilled. I have always wanted to model one of those cut away animations of a rifle or pistol.
Hat Tip: Freedom Sight
Very awesome animation and detail.
That was awesome. How did you model it? Reason I ask, is I am learning Alibre and modeling a firearm would be a cool exercise.
Thanks for sharing,

Muy bueno!
Hey!
I saw this one on youtube once. I was browsing how to disassemble the 1911 and ran across the video.
I must say, 3D scaling is hard. Much props to the author of the video. It must have taken at least 20-30 hours to make.
STEVE, THIS IS AND AWESOME 3D ANIMATION OF A 1911 ASSEMBLY. WOULD A COPY ON A DVD. START MAKING SOME MONEY FOR YOUR 500 HOURS YOU PUT IN. THANKS, DON
DON, I did not make it! I just posted it on the blog.
my word, that’s good! would you mind if i post the link over at “women & guns”? some my ladyfriends shoot the .45 and enjoy it, and i’m sure they’d appreciate the time and effort you put into it.
“gunner”
“gunner”, go for it.
“gunner”, out of interest, what it the address of the “women and guns” site you mentioned?
It looks more complicated than it is. The first time I ever stripped a 1911 it was pretty intimidating and I could have used a tutorial like this.
Hopefully this will save someone some angst.
Totally cool; job well done.
Helps me get my 1911 back into the holster & on the job.
Fantastic! Really nice job on that!
Thanks Rob, unfortunately I lack both! But if I ever find the time I will let you know.
Wow, makes me want to fire up Blender and do something similar. ‘Cept I simply don’t have the time.
What I do have is Blender and several computers with lots of CPU cycles to spare, so I could help out with stuff like this if anyone ever needed some render time.
Very, very cool. Thanks for posting.
That’s badass!
