Wallpapers coz I was bored.

Post by Kenny_10_Bellys »

It's become awfully quiet on this board, so I thought I'd try and liven things up a bit and post these. I've been playing around with motion blur and fogs & suchlike on Lightwave, so i made some quick wallpapers while I was at it. These are some of the results. A couple are sort of Trek related, but I've also been doing a few with military aircraft and vehicles, so I thought about this board for them. Here they are anyway...

I really like the attack helicopters. I especially like the fact that you went with a coaxial rotor.

I usually use wallbase for my wallpapers.

I was always in love with the little Ka25 and 27 Hormone/Helix choppers. They looked so compact and tough compared to the long, thin Western types with their tail rotors. I got the urge to make a dedicated Russian analogue of the Tigre or similar new attack choppers, and thought this fitted best.

That actually exists in real life as the KA-50. Which is funny when you consider that it's both larger and heavier than it's western counterparts.

Very cool. The only thing i´d complain about is the lighting and compositing of the helicopter. It´s too saturated i think too green. If you reduce those on the helocopter it will look more compelling.

This would also be a good image to use an HDRI for lighting.

I will do a better one, this was thrown together very quickly just to test motion blur settings. Its also not a very detailed model, so doesn't stand up to clse scrutiny, so bright and a bit washed out helps hide that.

Lovely work. BTW, did you ever finish the Russian sub?

I really like your helicopter, and the martian one looks like it could be awesome for a book cover

Jesus Christ that helicopter looks good. Seriously, it just is pure awesome.
It has become clear to me in the previous days that any attempts at reconciliation and explanation with the community here has failed. I have tried my best. I really have. I pored my heart out trying. But it was all for nothing.

You win. There, I have said it.

Now there is only one thing left to do. Let us see if I can sum up the strength needed to end things once and for all.

Thanks guys, glad you like it. I'm always tempted to try again with a transport helo in the mould of the Blackhawk, but I've never really managed to get a shape I'm happy with. Maybe I'll try again during the holidays.

I love the Star Trek one 'Blasted Moon'. Interesting ship design, it looks pretty nice. Have you done any renders of that design?

for the transport chopper, maybe build it like one of the new compound helicopters. the sikorsky x2 , and the eurocopter x3 , or maybe a rotodyne.
If a black-hawk flies over a light show and is not harmed, does that make it immune to lasers?

It's the USS Detroyat, a design by a guy called Mike Morrissette. Aparently it's quite well known but I'd never heard of it when a guy commissioned me to make it for him. I had to make a couple of slight changes to the design, and ended up working with Mike on a revised version of it. Here's the only renders I could find...

As for the Transport chopper, I think if I went along the lines of the compound designs I'd use a jet variant rather than props. I'm sure they're rapid machines, but with all those props everywhere they look rather old fashioned. A jet variant might end up looking like the choppers in a Gerry Anderson TV show, but could be worth a try. If I get a chance today I'll try a couple of basic models and maybe post a suggestions thread here for opinions and help.

I think Detroyat is a famous French dude. The designers real first name is Michel, not Mike, which could explain the choice of name.

Made this last night due to extreme boredom. It's just a quick animation using the little Russian helo design...
