3D Glock Animation - How to disassemble and reassemble the G20

[andybpiano]

What modeller and renderer did you use?

[poloNINJA]

@andybpiano Check the credits...

[pumpkinpieguy77]

very easy to follow instructions, thanks.

[MrJrd26]

Awesome animation vid! Can you do any other animations? Aircraft? do you have a website? Cheers!

[BalzacOfTheTubes]

Good work on the modelling and animation, and video production quality. Well done. I bet the guy who modelled the gun in 3DSMax is intimately familiar with the Glock's design.

[poloNINJA]

@BalzacOfTheTubes I had a real one in hand for reference. It was extremely helpful!

[jcmomo1]

This sounds like one of those airplane safety videos they make you watch before you take off.

Good video.

[damian13531]

this is the most incredible animation I have ever seen. You are a genius. Please, please do some function animation videos and internal firing mechanics. This is what computers were made for, under, of course, the expert guidance of a supernerd (I use the term as an extreme compliment) like yourself.

[poloNINJA]

@damian13531 Thanks-- much appreciated.

[gooztala]

never mind, found your site. I'll be in touch.

[gooztala]

How do I get a hold of you for an animation project?

[HarySeaword1]

Very nice work.

[ViperStudioHQ]

you should do this for as many firearms as you can this was very helping

[pharcyde24]

amazing video!  top notch quality - you should do this for other firearms, thumbs up if you agree!

[sasafeda]

how long did it take to make this video?

[poloNINJA]

@sasafeda 11 weeks from concept to final product. Thanks!

[jfreak631]

i bet you you're hmong.

[BenjiCG144]

dude, you're amazing, i was watching this to see if there were any similarities between the glock irl and the airsoft models and bar the loading mechanism and the firing mechanism, they are very similar, but the video looks epic and the hand motions etc look smooth and well set out to allow viewing whilst still being informative

[Spydercocaine]

Best Video for disassembling a Glock. The red highlighting makes it even better than most real disassembling videos that are too dark or too fast.

[Wireheadking]

This makes me want to get an airsoft gun and disassemble it. The UK doesn't allow real guns :(

[QUATR00]

@Wireheadking You can legally get real guns here in UK, but not as easily as in other countries. But it is possible, I can tell you that.

[Wireheadking]

@QUATR00 Sorry, yes you can. My uncle has some for his work as a hunter. But I'm only 13 making it illegal for me. But I think you know what I meant :D

[spartan177saber]

People make taking the slide off to complicated. Put the end of the muzzle on palm of your hand that bulges out right under the thumb. take your ring finger and place it around the triggerguard. Squeeze your ring finger towards your palms, take your other hand and (using thumb & middle finger is easiest) and pull down the tabs and hold them. Let go with the hand holding the slide and triggerguard and it slides right off. Sounds complicated but it's way way easier than whats commonly recommended

[SurfingwithBen]

Great video

[heuykiller]

Nice 3D work!

[fmjausmerican]

can you do another video for the colt goverment? please?

[TheGagunga]

MysteryGuitarMan as commentator?

[MrRocketman19]

Well done. I just bought a g21 gen 4. thank you for your outstanding work on this vid. I put it on my "favorites" for reference.

[beardown555]

Very well done. Impressive work.  Thank you for taking time to help others with this video.

[FICKLEII]

Great work poloNINJA !!! Next time we wait disassemble and reassemble Steyr IWS 2000, because i'm fucking russian, and i'm don't find this vid on all hostings....

[usmanhar]

love it

[conrad0102]

You can still take it apart if the trigger is cocked, you just pull the trigger and then push the slide off... it's not "impossible"

[ASMAZNASNERD]

7 people disliked this video just cuz it... wait... why?

[teocharger]

This is better than pron!!

[mrcdpenguins]

this was impresive

[RaLalo]

Yay for 10mm.

[ZzRvXzZ]

I dont have big nails.. IM SCREWED..

[MrDjumain]

AMAZING JOB! congratulations man, you rock

[opnine]

GREAT JOB MAN!!!! THANKS

[MrGerardnl]

awsome animation , also the glock is the most buetifull pistol in the world, aldo they need to change the iron sights

[beamsummer2007]

Awesome animation and easy to understand. ^_^

[peterm3964]

Perfect description . I could do this and I dont have a Glock .

[joeythebanker]

this is a great animation. i would like to see a similar animation on the complete disassembly of a glock (including removal of the trigger group).

[bsacj]

Very Cool - thanks

[Thitavares]

Hope manufacturers contact you and ask for this kind of e-manuals. Lots of time saved and much more easy and fun to watch.

Try a cleaning tutorial next time ! Nice job!

[MrMarilynRamos]

Awsome

[raspur]

if you have time can you show the whole assembly cleaning and put them back great animation vid i like it alot

[militarykilroy]

Dry firing only hurts rimfire guns. Center fire is fine bc the sticker does not hit the breach face

[S8T8E8A]

Wish my glock looked that sexy in real life

[chokeekai]

1:08= how i masturbate.

[crangesJ]

@chokeekai Me to XD

[poloNINJA]

@al10naruto No complicated rigs were used on the gun; just a bunch of parenting... and the hands were just target morphs.

[SoapMactavish90]

Dry firing a firearm isn't bad for it unless it's eather rimfire(like 22 for example) or an older firearm(like from World War1 or 2 for example) if it's not eather old or rimfire you can dryfire all you want unless the manufactor tells you otherwise. If your dryfireing on older weapon use shapcaps

[PDigi2o3]

Dude, that was an awesome video. Very nice modeling. Fucking pro man.

[realsixer]

wow this is perfectly done,I have a simple question tho, I was told two different things, can a bullet be traced because of the barrel rifling, I was told thats why its there, and I was also told that the rifling can be removed so the bullet cant be traced, please tell me weither these are true or not, thanks

[jgvfgc]

@realsixer The rifling is how a bullet can be traced, but that's not is purpose. It's purpose is to spin the bullet to make it more accurate. Otherwise it's like an old musket that is not accurate. You would not want to remove the rifling.

[rockbay79]

Best Glock disassembly video I've ever seen. Great job!

[TheBrolly123456]

that so frakin cool thats like way beter than siting their listening 2 sombody tell u literaly

[RECONDO101st]

Added to my favorites. Very cool video !

[awsomeasiankid]

dude... you should get paid..ALOT for this

[GenerationKill001]

Great video, I mean really great... but you sound like a safety lecture in a United Airlines flight.

[Blueknight170]

Awesome animation, the best ever. So can I get my hands on a copy of this great work. Of course I would pay.

[PhilippePhengrasmy]

Very helpful, thanks a lot !

[TheEg454]

great video. good job

[1707playboy]

Great video for glock noobs !

[mozartnoyon]

thanks.. now m off to kill some jew

[hawkthree]

OMG This makes it so simple to understand. Loved the colored blinking parts. This is just so much clearer than other Youtube videos showing the same thing. Thank you from a gun novice whose Glock badly needs a cleaning. 

[marr146]

isnt it the same for ALL glock models

[maethorize]

Wow, great work at the animation and all that stuff :D I tried my hand at 3d modeling for some time, but I never really got the hang of it. If I had only had this video as an inspiration :)

[iPwnUalllol]

awesome just got my glock 20 and this is so much better then the book

[AerisFang]

Great vid!

[wesh487]

awesome video!

[RunAwayPod]

Excelent work! Texture and Key steps make this the best Glock tutorial out their. Once again, Great Work!!!

[skitzos314]

great job !!

[123Tamnguyen]

can i have the file to the glock if u are using c4d for this?

[grapeshot23]

This is the best video of this kind I've seen. Very nice. I like how you even have a texture on your animation that matches the Glock finish.

[chrispyfur]

Great video, but how fast can you take it apart and put it back together blindfolded?

[GoldenGlobe81]

Great animation!

[quarryone]

I agree with other comments. Great job of presentation.

[quarryone]

I agree with othr comments. Great job of presentation.

[capthowdy26041]

Good job.

[crazydiesellover]

Wow, that was amazing! You really made that?

[driftkingFWD]

Awesome animation!!

[steverp79]

Great information, very helpful. On a side note; modeling is spot on,  texturing is nice, lighting is just right. Also very nice camera work and animation. Narration was well rehearsed and delivered. Awesome job.

[poloNINJA]

@steverp79 Thank you for your compliments, and thanks for watching!

[squiffy1963]

@poloNINJA well done this is a fantastic video animation.

[branko2301]

why is it bad to dry fire a gun?

[poloNINJA]

@branko2301 My sources say it can damage the hammer or something along that line... something about the mechanics of the firearms.

[mr153]

@branko2301 dry firing typically doesn't damage modern center fire firearms: especially those with a free float firing pin. The firearms that would be damaged are those where the hammer IS the firing pin (i.e. it strikes the primer directly) or rimfire firearms Glocks work sort of like a bolt action: there's no hammer per se, but rather a firing pin that's locked back under spring tension and sent forward when the trigger is pulled. (i.e. striker fired) its safe to dry fire striker pistols

[Murpification]

Wow, thank you sir for this vid. I can tell it must have taken plenty of time to make. Congrats on the quality. It really helped me out and it is flawless animation.

[gunslinger3]

How about a detail strip :)

[poloNINJA]

@gunslinger3 That's beyond the scope of the video. Thanks for watching!

[hominid012]

How did this video get any dislikes???

[xvxaKxvx]

great vid.

[azure639]

Great animation and overall professional presentation.

[poloNINJA]

@azure639 Thank you!

[guitarplyr2255]

Nice video man. It helped me out.

[poloNINJA]

@guitarplyr2255 - Glad to hear. :o)

[77xL]

Thank you very much!!

[andrelemalle]

Thank you for taking the time and effort to provide this animation. Can I ask how long you worked on it?

[poloNINJA]

@andrelemalle - Thanks. Everything from start to finish was around 3 months. Modeling the gun took 70 hrs. Thanks for viewing!

[poloNINJA]

@andrelemalle Hi - The entire project took 11 weeks... almost 3 months. Thanks!

[poloNINJA]

@andrelemalle The project took 11 weeks from concept to what you see here. Thanks!

[LordRockfish]

A+

[Marcelodoyle]

Excelente vídeo. Sou policial e instrutor de armamento e tiro. Esse vídeo vai ajudar bastante nas minhas aulas.

Parabéns! Se puder fazer com outras armas, ficarei seu fã. Gosto de armas e sei desmontá-las e montá-las, mas não sei fazer animações. Gostaria de aprender.

Grande abraço.

[poloNINJA]

@Marcelodoyle (I used online translation for the following, so it's not all correct... sorry) ->> Olá!, agradecimentos para prestar atenção a meu vídeo. Eu estou contente ele ajudei-o a ensinar. Mim provavelmente won' t faz um outro vídeo como este para outras armas por causa de quanto tempo toma, mas aquele seria agradável embora. Eu desejo-o bem com suas instruções da polícia. Obrigado outra vez!

[pedrocapo7]

nice job man!!!! 12/12

[trillionair117]

you should do this for a COMPLETE DETAIL STRIP of the entire Glock pistol. how to disassemble the entire slide and taking apart all components such as, the firing pin (taking the spring, cups and sleeve off), extractor plunger etc. including taking off all springs. same for the frame, taking out the trigger (taking that apart as well), taking out the takedown lever, slide stop/release, lock block,etc. also in the same video or a PART 2, show how to reassemble. it would be very infomative.

[drjoe2323]

Good job

[jcha]

alright hmong!

[vegasJuggalo1]

this video is retarded anybody who knows how to pull a trigger can do this

[m0h5in1]

Brilliant Video and it relates to most models of Glock, not only G20

[Haynakukalbo]

god bless austria! XD

[lynz45]

The best video I've seen! All the others I've looked have guys doing it too fast and their big hands hide the components.

[migkillertwo]

amazing. You should try this with a 1911, AK-47, or AR-15

[otown2k]

EXCELLENT video! Great production quality, music and animation. And it was very thorough and informative! What program was used for the animation? I'm an editor, I use Final Cut.

[poloNINJA]

@otown2k - The production software was listed in the credits... thanks for the comments!

[Roman8880]

@otown2k

3DS Max

Photoshop

After effects

Audacity

[L3G3nD0001]

Now... to take out the firing pin.... <_<

[orey66]

Very good detail on the model and perfectly executed animation. This is why I love modelling!!!!!!!

[jaredleospirit]

i guarantee the guy who made this lives in California, hence the 10round mag. fuckin dumb ass politicians in CA. Full of dumb old bitches who spit ignorance.

[EMT22637]

If anyone was wondering, this is the procedure for all Glocks not just the G20.

Excellent video!

[rcbif101]

Nice work. Instructional animations are very nice because lighting is always perfect- something that's hard to do with a camera.

[nilsSto]

Great video indeed!

Since the gun is very detailed, I assume, you had blueprints or a real pistol to take measure? I´m also interested in modelling a glock (17) but I cant´t rarely fin any useable pictures about the inner mechanics of the gun. I started with videos an pictures, but the results are not that quite stunning.

Could you give me some tips, how you did it? Thanks :-)

[poloNINJA]

@nilsSto

Hi- I had the actual pistol as reference and also scanned it to create blueprints; that helped a lot. All the details wouldn't have been possible without having the real pistol on hand. Do you know anybody you can borrow one from? Thanks.

[nilsSto]

@poloNINJA

I thought so ;)

No, I rarely can get my hands on a real one. I´m from Austria and here getting a real firearm is quite tricky and costly. Do you happen to have any of the blueprints, or is it a problem to share them?

[pandhack]

Great video

[rarecpus]

wow thanks, I did my first disassembly because of this video. 5/5'd thumps up!

[poloNINJA]

@rarecpus

Glad to hear... :o)

[fpach520]

Best Glock instructional video I've seen. Nicely done!

[flameomega1]

Amazing model! Would love to make a first person animation with that :P

[ssgsoja]

The best instructions thus far.

[hominid012]

one more thing. you have no dislikes so far. congratulations.  :D

[hominid012]

that my friend, should be in a CD included with all new glock products. That's professional work my friend. (although I've never met you before, that video was so awesome that you are now my friend.) :D

[Gunfreak513]

Thats REALLY cool man.

[MamoDad]

Great job guys!

[HolzzzRulezzz]

wow respekt :o

[poloNINJA]

@HolzzzRulezzz

:o)  Thanks...

[BlockbusterGuy11]

great modeling. 10/10

[poloNINJA]

@BlockbusterGuy11

Thanks for visiting... :o)

[eldiablo9604]

I came across this again, I must have watched it atleast 4 times now, still though. Everytime I just think to myself "Magic!"

Its amazing, I wish I had this model on my computer, is it hard to make the basics?

Thanks a lot,

Nathan!

[poloNINJA]

@eldiablo9604

Thanks for the comment; it's hard to answer your question though... it sort of depends on what you mean by the "basics". If you are talking about the simple shapes of the model before adding detail, then yes, it's easy.

[nominalvelocity]

Nice animation there slick

[marty182fuck]

duuude! excellent animation! 

[nucpht]

This video is amazing! Do you use it to demonstrate take down of other guns as well? Great job dude!

[poloNINJA]

@nucpht

No... only this gun; it would take way too long to do this for other guns.  :o) Thanks for viewing!

[lankajam33]

This must have taken so long, but it looks worth it. It has probably got to be THE best 3-D instructional video I have seen.

Fine work, my boy!

[poloNINJA]

@lankajam33

Thanks for the comments. :o)

[JordansBeans]

wow this is probably the best animation ive ever seen.

[xld3000]

damn this is good, i just started working with max and this is intimidating, what kind of studies did you do to get to this stage.

[poloNINJA]

@xld3000

Sorry it's taken me this long to reply. I focused all my energy at first on modeling. See if that works for you! You need to go all out and never stop; it's the only way to get better.

[eldiablo9604]

anybody know where i can get blueprints for a glock 17?

[poloNINJA]

@eldiablo9604

I would just use Glock's website for the side views... other than that, see if you know someone who has one and if you can borrow it.

[eldiablo9604]

SWEET!

[Mazryonh]

Did you base the magazine on a 10-rounder? I thought the G20 was capable of holding 15 rounds in its magazines.

[poloNINJA]

I'm sure there's a 15-round mag available for the G20, but yes, my reference mag topped at 10.

[straightilla]

One of the many reasons i'm stayin the hell away from 3D is you "POLOninja" i can't compete with that shit........DAMN FINE WORK...damn man...that is some educational shit too man...FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!

[poloNINJA]

haha- this is the funniest post I've ever gotten... but glad you learned something. Don't discourage yourself from 3D though; I've been in it for just under 4 years, and I still have a looooooooooooong way to go.

If you want to do it, don't let anything stop you... not even yourself. :o) Thanks for checking out my work. My website has a lot more work to see, so feel free to swing by.  Again, thanks!

[pjanak]

Fantastic animation. I want this model. :)

[huskydawg07]

Wow!! That was absolutely the best Glock takedown video I have ever seen. The animation and 3D rendering of this quality must have taken you forever to complete. Excellent job!

[poloNINJA]

"forever" almost describes it. :o) The most time-consuming task was modeling the Glock... (about 70 hours)

[Sochill247]

I love the animation in this it's simply amazing! Disassembly for the glock is a piece of cake but i'm sure making a video like this isn't!

[poloNINJA]

I wish it was a piece of cake ;o)

[Anarchistlyism]

great vid!

[wewex]

This is the best Glock disassembly video i've seen so far!!! Thanks for this awesome video!!!!

[poloNINJA]

Thanks!  Be sure to spread it around!! Thanks for viewing. :o)

[DanYangPortfolio]

awesome job jay! very professional. the texturing on the gun is awesome. great job!

[vixayyang]

good job man! your hand turned out really good too! props to ya!

[poloNINJA]

thanks... it was the biggest pain!!

[MrCrunchyEGGROLL]

Nice job, Jay! Now, one question. How'd Jet Li do it with just one hand? :P

[poloNINJA]

maybe the one he did wasn't a Glock?

[MrCrunchyEGGROLL]

Not sure, but cops use Glocks. And he did it to Mel Gibson. :P

[Tengoray]

Awesome job! It looks and sounds very professional.

[digey]

Wow, wish I stayed around to see that, simply awesome any plans to pass it on to the Glock people?

stayed around to see what? And passing this on to Glock? I'm not sure... I wouldn't know what to do to go about doing that. :o)

<
