Gunstruction Version 1.15 Release Notes:

The latest update to the GUNSTRUCTION player features new part categories, functionality, vendors and of course parts!

In Explode Mode you will notice we added the much asked for new Magazine Pulls as a point of customization. Simply select a compatible magazine and chose the Magazine Pulll that fits!

We have also added 2 new Photomode rooms. “Winter Range” and “Feet” have been added so you can snap pictures of your favorite builds in new locals.

The new patch will include the entire line of Duracoat paint and camo options! Now you can chose from over 300 custom colors and camos!

We have also added Brownells to the list of dealer links, and encourage everyone to shop around and utilize these links within the program.

Version 1.15 will also feature direct connection to ARFCOM’s Gear Locker. This is an extensive database of parts information, reviews, high res pictures, and places to buy. The Gear Locker also allows you to print out or e-mail your build to yourself or others, and see your saved builds outside of GUNSTRUCTION. To access the Gear Locker simple click on the ARFCOM logo found in each part’s “Part Info” screen. From the web player you can also load up the Gear Locker via the tab on the left hand side of the window.

Behind the scenes we have made some performance upgrades, fixed some bugs, and corrected some information for parts. We have also unified saves across all platforms. Now you can share builds made on your mobile version of GUNSTRUCTION with web users and vice versa! The URL you generate is universal.

As for the new vendors we are proud to announce that Aero Precision, Bravo Company, and MultiTasker Tools are now in GUNSTRUCTION. We also are proud to announce that we now support Magpul M-LOK compatible rails and accessories!

Make Your Own Artsy-Fartsy Cutout Photos with Gunstruction

Gunstruction recently posted a very cool photo to their Facebook page of a near perfect “cutout” of a carbine. They claimed that they did it without photoshop, using nothing but native Gunstruction Photo Mode functionality. I took that as a challenge and had to figure out how to do it for myself.

gunstruction cutout

Lucky for you, I figured it out and I feel like sharing.

  1. Visit the Gunstruction website. I hate that I have to mention this step but if I don’t some goof will email me and ask how to get there.
  2. Configure your AR-15 the way you want it. I won’t hold your hand here. It’s your carbine. Have some fun with it.
  3. Click the Paint button on the main screen to enter the Paint menu.
  4. Click the Color button to paint the entire carbine single color.
  5. Choose “Duracoat White”.
  6. Click the Apply to All button. Paint it White
  7. Click the Back button to return to the main screen.
  8. Click the Photo button to enter the photo menu. You can fiddle with any of the settings that you like. I will only mention those that are responsible for creating the desired effect.Enter Photo Mode
  9. Click the Lights button to enter the lighting menu.
  10.  Set all three lights to true white by sliding the R, G, and B, sliders all the way to the right.
  11. Set all three lights to full intensity by sliding the Intensity sliders all the way to the right.Adjust the Light Sliders
  12. Click the Room button. This is where you will create the black background.
  13. Choose “None” from the drop down menu beneath the Room button.
  14. Move the R, G, and B sliders all the way to the left to create dark black background.Set the Backgroud Sliders
  15. Click the Filters button. You are almost done!
  16. Click on the drop down menu beneath the Filters button.
  17. Click the X in the Ambient Inclusion check box to de-select it.Set the Backgroud Sliders
  18. Snap cool cutout photos to your heats content.Start Snapping Photos

It looks like a lot of steps but it is very easy once you get the hang of it. Once you have the cutout image, it would be pretty easy to reverse the colors in photo editing software to create a silhouette. A smart guy like you could probably figure out all sorts of cool things to do with this type of image.
