Alpine H160: Blender Cycles Rendering
I explore the fascinating world of Blender Cycles rendering, focusing on a stunning scene featuring an Airbus H160 helicopter gracefully soaring over picturesque snowy mountains.
Dates:28th of January (Done in a single intense day)
Related skills:Rendering, Raytracing, Blender, Cycles Renderer, DaVinci Resolve, Color Grading
I setup the phisically based materials for the mountain terrain (including subsurface scattering for the snow) and the helicopter (coated paint, glass).
After the rendering phase, I dive into the post-processing stage using DaVinci Resolve. I (de-)enhance the scene with camera artifacts and intricate details, elevating the visual impact of the animation. Watch as the snowy peaks come to life with added realism, making the helicopter fly seamlessly through the Alpine scenery.
However, keen-eyed viewers may notice an intriguing detail – there's no pilot in the helicopter! There is a decision behind this choice: The helicopter is self-driven by AI cameras.
