is it what your talking about ?
otherwise the computer is no fast enough to show high speed on screen !
so need to simulate this effect

happy 2.5

something like that- but more towards the effect that its blurry and the blades are smudge and moving slow

4

you got a pic showing your effect
may be there a way to simulate this ?

salutations

5

how about using motion blur? It takes some render time but that should work, right?

6

that might work can you upload a sample file

i can try to get an prop model if needed

Thanks

You can’t get realistic helicopter blades out of Blender. I only say this because I have spent many hours trying. I ended up using CCWide Time effect in After Effects.

Blender’s motion blur is very low quality and not worth the wait.

Why not just fake it??? One set of main blades, then maybe 6 sets of secondary blades, offset a few degrees from the main blades, and only 1/2 or 1/3 transparent, giving the illusion of motion blur…

I’ve never done it, it’s just a thought…
