Frecce tricolori

Artwork Works in Progress
1

Hi guys,
I found one of my many unfinished projects, an Aermacchi MB339A and I’d want to create a scene with a team and his famous smokes. The aircrafts are rendered in Cycles (200 passes) and the smokes in BI: I rendered every colour in a separate image and composite all.
What do you think of smokes and overall scene?
Thank you

Edit: a comparison between versions

This is quite nice! Being an aviation fan it lands close to the heart. The smoke is great but a bit more transparency would probably have made it look a bit more realistic, but that does not mean that it is not a good image

Thanks for sharing it.

Thank you for your reply, Arcan.
I’ll try other settings on the smoke’s material.
For now that’s my settings… I think to change density influence on the texture.

Nice !

Smoke is very realistic as is, googled frecce tricolori, and cant tell the difference with your render, perfect.

For the scene, I would love to see them short after they split. The composition is very good, really, with the moon, the clouds placement, I like it.

I like it . That’s the joy of 3D - make 1 model and quickly copy a whole formation for yourself .

Hi guys, I made some little changes:

  • flip horizontally the background cause the light comes from the right
  • increase particles velocity
  • decrease density texture influence of smoke’s material

@delic glad you like the smokes. I’ll try other scene :slight_smile:
@NeilF92 yes! I had to make only different textures for the copies (for aircrafts numbers).

Thank you!

Nice composition @andrea.ailic, IMO the only thing is that the Moon is a bit too large and it bocems a bit distracting and “dirties” the composition. Also I would give it a bit of DOF (Depth of Field) to finish it off or give it a vary slight motion blur.

Would be great to have some renders from inside number 2 or number 3 plane…kinda putting the spectator inside of the action…maaan this opens up sooo many options for some more awesome future renders.

Thank you Tommy, you’re right I can render several points of view :slight_smile:

Hi guys, I tried to improve the smokes.
In the first post you can see a comparison between old version and the new one.
What do you think?
Thank you and bye

I like the old thicker version best. My memories of the Frecce are of very strong colours.

Thanks NeilF92!

I agree with NeilF92, thicker version looks better! good job so far.

Thanks Tommy, the finished render is in Finished Projects
