Kimber 1911 Rapide Black Ice & Heat

This project represents my graduation qualification work. Within the framework of the task it was decided to recreate the Kimber 1911 Rapide pistol in two visual variations. The first variant is made in Black Ice style, with emphasis on chrome elements and cold colour palette. The second is a tactical modification: the pistol is painted in matte black colour, equipped with Trijicon RMR 2 collimator sight and additionally fitted with muzzle brake, which enhances its applied and aggressive appearance.

The project is focused on demonstration of skills in the field of hardsurface modelling, development of high-polygonal details, realistic texturing and high-quality rendering of 3D weapon objects.

I would like to express special thanks to Maxim Nazarov from the 3D Gun community for his professional support and useful advice. His help made a significant contribution to improving the final result.
