NERF GUN

For this assignment I was tasked with starting a Nerf Gun of choice. I chose to go bold with a more complicated and unique one. I felt very comfortable with the hard surface workflow from the knife project. I also still interested in being a weapons artist. So I figured; testing of my modeling abilities would be a a good judge of whether I like weapons or not. So far, I really enjoy it. 

So far with the high res portion of this assignment I've taken great care into organizing my geo with detailed naming conventions and material setups to identify pieces that I will later bool in ZBrush. I feel fairly confident that finishing the high res portion should go well for next weeks turn in. The main body of the rifle may prove to be the most challenging.

Should scope and time prove fruitful, I would like to mod the Nerf Gun a bit. Perhaps adding a holographic sight, a suppressor, extending the barrel into a longer barrel. But only if time allows it.
