A new short 3d Blender 2.83 animation of Second World War soviet fighter aircraft.
This film tells the story of the «Normandy Niemen» regiment, an air squadron of the French Air Force that fought Nazi Germany during the Second World War on the Eastern Front from 1942 to 1945.
Here is a one short film I rendered inspired by the Normandie-Niemen’s stories. I was learning and getting myself up to date for the new 2.83 version of blender and decide to create a 3d CGI animation of this fighter squadron.
The Project: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/28lARv
The workflow:
- Assets modeled and animated on Blender 2.83 (Some assets are from Blendswap, CgTrader, Turbosquid…)
- Assets textured on Subtance Painter
- Assets rigged in Blender 2.8
Full PBR Textures, on all assets. - Characters: the base mesh comes from Adobe Fuse. Animation are from Mixamo, skining done in blender.
- FX Simulation on Blender 2.83 Mantaflow
- Render with Blender 2.8 Cycles with 400 samples for the interior shots, and 200 samples for the outdoor.
- Render times: 119h (on a RTX 2080 TI)
- Post-production and compositing on After Effects 2020
