In this video I will do a breakdown of the M134 minigun modeled in Houdini. This is the first part of the video where I will show you how I modeled parts of the gun and also share some tips and workflows. And in the second part I will show you how I rendered this model and I will also talk a little bit about rendering in Houdini's Mantra.
