Chevelle -> PhotoShop: The Hudson Flier at Rhinebeck (2/17/2008 2:25:47 AM)
|
Just thought I would have some fun.
First about the project. I am working with another fellow and the Glenn Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport, NY. They are building a full scale of the 1910 Hudson Flier, the plane than on May 29, 1910 won a $10,000 Smithsonian prize for the longest flight. (It went 150 miles, Albany to New York City.) The museum intends to re-enact the flight 100 years later on May 29, 2010. Anyway, the other guy is doing the 2D work and I am building the plan in 3D CAD. I will build a 1/4 scale (1/3?) version for R/C.
So for fun, I used the CAD program to manipulate the model into the correct position and perspective for the Rhinebeck flight line. (I first had to take out two planes in the background. Too cluttered.) Then I tried to set the lights to mimic how the sun would hit the plane and then rendered it. Then it went into Photoshop and dropped it onto the background, added a ground shadow and overlaid a new section of fence so the plane looked like it was behind it.
Maybe I'll do it again when I add covering.
Salute!
Chevelle
