Belated Bond 'Casino Royale gun barrel scene' screencaps

I chose to start with one of the items that will most likely be at the end of my animation which is the iconic Bond gun barrel sequence. I chose to use the updated Casino Royale sequence which uses a more CG looking barrel with much more smoothing and reflection as opposed to the older sequences.



The procedure was fairly simple being created out of a circle spline and selecting the inner faces using the ring option when on editably poly allows you to choose all the inner facing faces with one click. Then choosing the twist slider on the selected lines allows you to get the barrel-rifling accurate without manually doing it via soft selection and the like.



Adding a camera to a line to allow the camera to pan the length of the barrel in one move is highly useful also.



Then adding a gloss black material to the inner faces of the barrel gives you the rough look of the new Casino Royale sequence but it requires some playing with, since it is really personal preference on the amount of reflection you have coming off of the barrel rifling and how bump mapped they are. Also note the placeholder image, this was purely because I couldn't get a image of Bond looking down a towards the camera to shoot in that trademark scene without a gunbarrel already in shot, I've tried photoshopping it out but the remaining image of Bond is really low quality, I shall have to find another way around this problem but for the time being the picture allows you to see the effect in place.
