The other day, I was looking at a picture book on the history of firearms, and learnt that the Colt Peacemaker Revolver was probably the first mass-produced firearm made for the general public around the late 1800s or early 1900s… To get a feel of the firearm, I decided to model a rendition of it in ZBrush and then rendered it in Maya as an exercise.
