"Frau im Mond" Rocket

Hello all! I am back alive into the 3D world after a long period of absence.

Here is a WIP inspired by “Frau im Mond” Reconstruction poster.

I have some doubts about the Background node used to map World with a sky map and lighting. It seems to me that the stars of the image map that I used are scaled too big.

Though, I am very happy with the result I obtained with the rocket. But any ideas are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

New version. Changes to material and side rockets mesh.


I’m not seeing your model image; just the poster reference.

Thanks for the information. I have troubles loading the image directly in to blenderartists and I’ve tried with a Pinterest link. Any advise?

Whatever you did worked because I can see both of them now. Thanks.

I wonder if there is a way to add in the glowing exhaust plume?

Thanks to you for the feedback.

Yes! Great idea! Maybe I could use particles or something like that. Do you mean something like this?

I am still playing with material and environment.


Finally I decided for a little less glossy version of the material and some bump map casually added that gives it a more steampunk look.
