Choppers

Helicopters for the in-house project that we're doing. Basically they are near-future versions of helicopters that are currently serving the US military forces. The image on the top of each pair is the 3D render, while the bottom image is the real helicopter which it was based off.

These 3D models will be seen constantly moving from quite a distance away in the film, so I have left out the details while leaving enough visual noise that it should look fairly realistic even at medium distance.


Based on the iconic tandem rotor CH-47 "Chinook" heavy lift helicopter. I have conveniently christened my version the Chinook II.



Based on the MH-53 "Pave Low". Some might recognize the "Pave Low" chopper as the first Decepticon's (Blackout) alternate mode in the Michael Bay Transformers film. The "Pave Low" is in turn a variant of the HH-53 "Super Jolly Green Giant". I picked it as the basis of my design simply because it is a big ass helicopter.

    Do you mean matching a 3D object against against a photo background, or creating a 3D rendering that looks like a photo?

    Why don't you post your work-in-progress in your blog so I know what you're after.

    There are so many ways, the easiest being using a HDR image as a background. Look it up in google I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials.

    Yes, I think I taught you guys before...it's not something I brag about :P
