My animations of the P08 at YouTube

ABarth · 09-17-2009, 02:53 PM

Hello,

My name is Andreas - I live in Germany (near Stuttgart).
Just like you, I am fascinated by the P08 – so I love this lugerforum – many thanks for this great site!

Recently I published two animations of the P08 on YouTube.

I modeled the pistol in CAD according to the original blueprints (I bought them at ebay as paper-copies)
Then I animated the model by using photorealistic rendering.

The videos are published in high quality resolution (1280 x 720)
If you push the "HD"-button within the YouTube-video-frame and get to the full-screen-mode, you can see the animations in an astonishing quality…

The first video shows the entire P08:

The second video shows the action of the firing pin with some parts cut, faded out or made transparent:

Hope you enjoy my little animations…

Greetings
Andreas...

Andreas,

Nice job. The mechanics are correctly displayed.

I did enjoy it very much! Great job. It is a very good lesson in Luger mechanics, partucularly for those folks that can't quite figure out how the sear disconnector works.

Let me add my welcome. A great job using the small paper blueprints.

Check the For Sale forum... I sell a CD with high quality digital images of the 1918 blueprints for P.08... it might have made your task a little easier. The digital images are much easier to read.

I watched close, looked accurate, very well done.
