This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

The plane looks great,altough i think the wings should be longer and the "fire" from the projectiles looks strange,other than that it looks great.

Looks good, maybe a tweek on the lighting etc and a bit more texture to the missile trials would really pop it out.

If you motion blur the missiles, and do some work on their trails you should get a really nice piccy.

PS. I find that shots usually look a bit tacky with the lens flare stuff but thats more personal preference than anything.

yes - nice job, though as the others have said, the missile trails really need some work - it just looks too solid and not really like smoke. definitely agree with bending about the lens flare - it just seems a bit obvious and doesn't look very accurate as i imagine the lens flare would be linked to the light from the missiles. i might lose the flare and trails completely.

the plane looks good though - lets see some more views and wireframe. user added image

Here's a link to a written tutorial on making missile tails.

https://www.highend3d.com/maya/tutori...Trail-205.html

And over in the dynamics section of this site there are some video tutorials of similar ideas.

Hope they help.

its a very nice yet but like the others said the wings are a little short, the trail is simple and the lens flare is misplaced but beside that its a nice render gj user added image
