Do you have any graphic design experience? If not, there really is no easy way for us to tell you how to do it. You might want to check at your school or work for anyone with GD experience. You could always hire someone too.

There are ways to do this in Illustrator but it can be really time consuming and you need to be really good at the mesh gradient tool.

Or, you could do this in a 3D program a whole lot quicker. (If you know how to use it.) There are many of them to choose from. A few of the better ones are: Maya, 3D Studio Max, and Cinema4D.

Hope that helps! Good Luck!

You want to create art/designs with no experience, no software, and no respect to the concept of art.....my mother told me I would have days like this!

Whoa. At $2,000 for the basic package, I wish I could afford a similiar 'toy' budget.

That must be some tax accountant.

Poser with one of the premade Gun packages downloadable from their sister site.

Poser is $249.00 and available at http://www.e-frontier.com/

Probably just a little photoshop layer for the "audio".

Poser is a modeling program that uses premade objects. It's like using Cheats in gamming. However, it has it's uses for some quick and dirty projects. The image that you posted could have been better rendered. It's not all that good.

Good Luck, even with a program like Poser and the prebuilt objects you still have a little bit of a learning curve ahead of you.

Draw one rectangle for the body of the gun, another rectangle for the grip, and a circle for the trigger. Make them all different colors. Then apply whatever four filters you choose. My favorites for this are: plastic wrap, ocean ripple, color halftone and accented edges. In that order. Might look cool. Or it might not. ;)

My husband got it a while back. I can't remember for what. I just remember we thought we would need it for a project, bought it and it turned out it was unnecessary. Our intention in buying it wasn't to get a new "toy."

This is a graphic design forum kid... you want to know what software will allow you to make a few guns.. so you can go bootleg it and try to make em... come to find out you have no f*ing idea what your doing... therefor all your hard " cracking " work has turned out to be a complete waste of time.

Illy or a 3D software. Maya if you need the name for your search bar.

My personal advice being new to the GD game... read up on gd. Get off your ass and go to the bookstore and read,read,read kid.

I wish you nothing but the best.. please pardon my rude " tone " if you will. I just work way to hard to have someone come in and say " what software can I use to take they're job? "

P.S. i'd love to make them for ya : )
