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.

    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.

    Thanks Rob, unfortunately I lack both! But if I ever find the time I will let you know.
