One of the most famous World War II rifles in sniper variant - M1D Garand. This version was produced in war period, yet it was less used in combat. M1D and its similar model - M1C - would be seen much later, in Korean War but still in a little amount.
For me, this project was a good opportunity to learn more about creating better realistic materials as well as making additional shading effects in Maya. This was also first time of making compositing process in Nuke.
Feel free to comment. Any feedback is appreciated. Hope you enjoy it!
