War Thunder is a highly detailed vehicle combat game containing over 2000 playable tanks, aircraft and ships spanning over 100 years of development. Immerse yourself completely in dynamic battles with an unparalleled combination of realism and approachability.
A 3D animation showing how a 2020 Colt Python revolver works. Cinema 4D was used to create each individual part, as well as animating everything. Rizom UV was used for UV unwrapping. Substance 3D Painter was used for all the texturing. Redshift renderer was used for final output of lighting and textures.

The animations and graphics never cease to amaze
-
Nice job Matt!

The other cowboy: "This town ain't big enough for the both of us-"

I'm a retired gunsmith, and I can say this is the best animation of "how it works" I've ever seen. Your rendering of detail is flawless - the lack of side pins holding the front sight; the placement of the side plate screw; the serrated hammer and lack of serrations on the backstrap - excellent. I have one of the new Pythons, and you nailed the details that separate the Gen 1 Python from the Gen 2. Superb!

These "how a gun works" videos are so cool and they never get old. The animation is flawless, its expalined in the most clear, understandable way, the voice fits in perfectly, these videos are just so polished and refined and I love them. Thanks Rittman!
-
How tf anyone ever got those dimensions correct on paper and then got tooling made to produce them is a marvel of engineering.
-
0:36 i love how it rhymes
-
I love how you modelled all the different surface textures and finishes (cast/milled/polished) on the internals. Excellent video as always!

When the npc doesn’t say hello back in rdr2:
-
“Cowboys aren’t even that cool-“
-
These are more complicated than other forms of pistols, they are like clocks - fascinating
-
I love these videos. They're so incredibly well explained and animated. Great work!
-
The mechanical engineering that went into making these pistols is extraordinary. I wonder how long it originally took them to make the prototype work? Incredible. Wonderful video too!
-
Really well done!! Love the realistic details like the machining tool marks on the unpolished surfaces.
-
That's why I love guns - look at all the synchronized movements. Especially with handguns - so many things are happening in short sequence. Engineering at it's finest.
-
I'm really happy you went with a revolver for this one, I've always wanted to know how a revolver would work with both DA & SA. Thank you for being amazing with your work Matt! And I thank Andy Taylor for his fantastic voice-over!
-
i love revolvers, especially the Python in particular. seeing the insides and how they all function so fluently with one another is awesome! even something as simple as a revolver requires a lot of skill to design, as every piece has to be perfectly timed with eachother
