How a Shotgun Works

A 3D animation showing how a Remington 870 pump-action shotgun works. Cinema 4D was used to create each individual part, as well as animating everything. Substance Painter was used to create the wood stock and fore-end textures. Corona renderer was used for final output of lighting and textures. I spent a ton of time putting this animation together.
