Helicopter

Recently I’ve been trying to make a helicopter, but I’m having trouble making it look realistic. Hopefully someone can give some advice on how to improve it.




Any advice would be appreciated.

i would start with pictures of real helicopter and modeling after a real one before using your imagination. until you have a feel for weight and qerodynamics and physics first.

this helicopter would not be able to fly because of the weight distribution. the rutters look like it’s attached by thin piece. the blade woudl fall apart upon take off.

not saying you have to be a mechanical engineer here, but you have to sell the shot here.

when making real things, you always have to contemplate how they would work


should look something like that. this one is modeled after a real helicopter.

try doing something like that

Thanks for your advice, but the thing is, I did model it from the blueprint of a helicopter I found online (Pictures below):



Is there something wrong with the the way I modeled it or the blueprint?

You modelled it wrong and the blueprint looks small.

Start with just modelling the blades and how they would look like. See the details on raxamillions example.

Also look into hard surface modelling on youtube.
