This is my first attempt at true hard-surface modeling. I've been wanting to make a gun in the Borderlands style for a while now and I've finally done it! I used my self-made shader for the major black lines of the outline, then drew the smaller ones by hand. Getting the right textures for the different types of metal was a big challenge, but not as big as adding the infinite amount of nuts and bolts. I did change the textures quite a lot in order to create my vision of the borderlands style and I also added a few extra polygons. I believe I worked a total of 2 weeks on this gun.
Unfortunately, I do not know who the original artists who created this are, but if you do please let me know!
