Farewell to Wings

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:16:37 +0000

PZL p11c. One of my favorite planes - I love its seagull shaped wings.

250k polygons in total. One 4k diffuse and bump map. Spec is procedural noise masked with a blurred copy of the bump map. Grass is 3d (rows of alpha planes mixed with instanced 3D plants).

Modeled and rendered with Modo.

This model is available for download from my site (mesh in obj format plus textures):

Tempest

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:07:46 +0000

The Hawker Tempest was a British fighter aircraft primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the Second World War.

The models poly count is around 120k. I'm using one 4k texture for diffuse, one for bump and one for spec.

Modeled and rendered with Modo.

Backbone of the Luftwaffe

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:31:27 +0000

Took a break from my current hobby project and returned to one of my previous models, this Messerschmitt Me109. Tried a vintage, calm looking image instead of an action packed render. This image shows a Messerschmitt flown by a German pilot named Hans Ohly.

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 17:56:30 +0000

In this image I'm trying to mimic a sci fi feeling from the late 70's/early 80's (big plastic helmets, tight synthetic clothes, skinny legs and slick boots).

I've made the helmet available for download from my site if you would like to use the mesh & texture.

Commander Pirx (v2)

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:03:23 +0000

This is an modification of my "Commander Pirx" model and render that I did for 3D world magazine. You can find him on the cover and on 2-3 pages inside the magazine (latest issue).

The name "Pirx" is of course from "Pilot the Pirx" by sci fi writer Stanislaw Lem.

The helmets shape is inspired by "Commander Oddball" from "Revenge of the Sith"

Modo+Photoshop

Commander Pirx

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 21:07:46 +0000

I got this idea for a pale and tired space traveler after reading "the tales for Pirx the pilot" by classic sci-fi writer Stanislaw Lem. The shape of the helmet is inspired by "Commander Oddball" from "Revenge of the Sith". The face is based on my own face and I used Modos sculpting tools to tweak the mesh (for example pushing in the cheeks and pulling down the eye lids). I've textured the face using my own "skin" but don't worry, I'm not that pale and I don't have those dark areas under my eyes.

I'm using three 4k color and bump maps on this model. One for the helmet, one for the face and one for the body.

Modeled and rendered in MODO.

Here are a couple of WIPs and a wireframe:

Outrun

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 14:39:56 +0000

�Outrun�

This render shows Jans Zumbachs Spit MK VB encountering a Messerschmitt Me262. The subject is however historically incorrect. Me262�s weren�t operational until the end of WWII.
The Spitfire is a new model of mine and the Me262 is an older model that I�m reusing in this render.

Created using Cinema4D / Bodypaint.

I have some more renders of the Spitfire on this page. There are some WIPs and meshes too if you�re interested. The Me262 can be downloaded from my site if you would like to have it.

Sweepers

Fri, 26 Oct 2007 08:09:55 +0000

Two Spitfires Mk VB from the 303rd division.

This is a different render using my Spitfire model.
I like the angle in this one even though you can't see all the details that you could see in the previous version (seen from the side).

Inspired by the movie "Battle of Britain" with Michael Caine. Trying to catch a cinematic feeling in this one. The render is 1500px wide so take a look at the full sized version - I think it looks much better than the downsized one.

C4DR10 + BodyPaint3. The model has a single 4096*4096px color map and bump map. The pilot and propeller have their own texture maps. A "fun" detail is that I have used my own face when texturing the pilots face - this is however not visible The background is made up of two 2D planes.

I hope you like it.

Division 303

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 20:59:36 +0000

A Spitfire of the 303 squardron flown by Sqn.Ldr. Jan Zumbach with the 'Donald Duck' painted on its side which came from Zumbach's nickname.

The 303 squadron played a very significant role in the Battle of Britain joining more than 150 fellow Polish pilots in this crucial encounter. The squadron�s performance was extraordinary. It shot down 126 enemy planes and lost merely eight pilots in the effort, far surpassing the performance of any British squadron and earning itself permanent membership in the ranks of the most illustrious military formations in aviation history.

The render is 1400pix wide so I suggest you take a look on the full image. Created using Cinema4D R10 / BodyPaint3.

70's Police Car

Tue, 12 Dec 2006 19:02:00 +0000

The Fiat 125 was a "large" family car introduced by Fiat in 1967. A license copy was also produced in Poland by the FSO car factory from 1967 until 1991, under the brand Polski Fiat as the Polski Fiat 125p. This is a fictive police version of this car.

I created this model to practice point-by-point modeling in Cinema4D because I�ve so far mainly modeled using box modeling and nurbs.

The image is rendered using Cinema4D's standard rendering engine - no GI & HDRI used in this one.

Take a look at the full sized images becasue the details aren't very visible in the downsized one.

Hope you like it!

A pair of F4U Corsairs encouter a Foo Fighter - when closing in they discover that it appears to be a russian secret weapon.

Modeled and rendered in C4D.

From wikipedia:
"The term foo fighter was used by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II to describe various UFOs or mysterious aerial phenomena seen in the skies over Europe and the Pacific theatre. Contemporary witnesses often assumed that the foo fighters were secret weapons employed by the enemy. Despite these fears, foo fighters (whatever they might have been) were apparently never reported to have harmed or tried to harm anyone"

Burn Sally Burn, Burn.... (rep. P47)

Sun, 04 Dec 2005 20:32:44 +0000

The P-47 was, in a very indirect sense, a gift from Soviet Union to the United States of America. The aircraft was the product of two Georgian immigrants, Alexander de Seversky and Alexander Kartveli, who had left their homeland to escape the Bolsheviks.
In the entire history of military aviation, there has never been an airplane that could match the P-47 for ruggedness and dependability. The pilots who flew it into combat called it "The Unbreakable" and "The plane that can do anything." They were not far from wrong.
P-47's often came back from combat shot full of holes, their wings and control surfaces in tatters.

Thunderbolt

Sat, 05 Nov 2005 21:18:10 +0000

Thunderbolt - SAAB 37 Viggen
The name Viggen means The Thunderbolt, especially those resulting from the Norse god Thor's warhammer Mj�lner.
Viggen is a multi-role fighter, through upgrades still modern and with some almost unique features, in service with the Swedish air force in several versions, since 1971.
Here's another in flight render but with a different texture:

This camouflage has for many become synonymous with the Viggen, but it is actually used on other aircraft for low-level missions. The mix of these colors gives an effective concealment against terrain background, which in Sweden is often covered with forest.
It took me about 10-12 hours to model the aircraft and maybe additional 10 hours to UV-map it and paint the texture. One single 2048*2048 texture is used. I also rigged it to make the movable parts posable.
Thanks and credits:
Thanks for the help I got in the WIP thread and thanks to Jose Carrascal for sending me high-res scans of the Viggen camo pattern.Backgrounds based on a photos from nessus.gunslingers.org and homepage.mac.com/laynesmith

Aces Of The Sky

Mon, 24 Oct 2005 13:46:01 +0000

The Mig 21 was the first successful Soviet aircraft combining fighter and interceptor in a single aircraft. It was a lightweight fighter, achieving Mach 2 speed using a relatively low-powered afterburning turbojet, and is thus comparable to the American F-104 Starfighter and French Dassault Mirage III.
The first prototype flew in 1957, entering service in 1958. In the 2nd picture you can see it together with 2 Swedish SAAB J29s.
This model is now also availavle from my site if you would like to have it:
