Nerf Gun Plastic and Glass

This series of images were rendered with mental ray in maya 2008. The first is a depiction of the gun in its original plastic form, adhereing as close as possible to the many details inherent in the gun's original design (available for $8 at a store near you!) The revolving drum that stores the darts utilizes a subsurface scattering material, and the slide on top of the gun uses the car paint phenom. In addition, bumpCombiner was used to merge the 3d texture bumps map with raised text and logos on the surface, and also with the Rounded Corners normal modifier.

The entire model was modeled with efficiency concerning number of faces, and clocks in at about 13,000 for the entire model.
