I can't get pretty in helicopters. Hell, I don't want pretty, but I can't quite manage that certain degree of ugly that mekes helicopters cool, either. So which of my dual-prop monstrosities is better?





NOTE: results will not change anything at all, really. I might make a third one later, but other than that, I'm not getting rid of either of these, so nothing will change. I just like posting pictures.

hmm, it may be rendering angle/background but I like the first one better... it looks more, eh "real" (the other looks kinda plasticky) :nod:

Give the rotary blade an enormous rotation speed(I mean huge) and the camera a tiny bit of motion blur, and then it'll look like its actually flying... :D


I think I like the cockpit of the 2nd one better, but the overall design of the first one is better imo.


P.S.  Stop giving ur topics titles of various punctuation marks :p  Confuses the feeble-minded

Nice thread title, as always... :blah:
 
Both are pretty good, but I like the second one more. I don't know why, but I do. :yes:

And I like looking at them. :)

Very good, but they look a bit lego-fied.

I like em both, but I prefer the first one. :yes:

After seeing this, I'd ask you if you could model and render some ships from Nodewars. But then I remembered your stance on such things. ;)

I only take issue with the way NW is run- I don't like playing it. I'd have no problem with modeling a coupla ships, provided there isn't some Byzantine set of regulations controlling that, as well. You'd have to wait 'till the weekend, though, school and ****e...
You can take your pick of the stuff I have on my site, since it's not entirely likely I'll ever have the opportunity to ship them in a coherent package, or I can work on it this weekend.

DC: I would, but at 30RPS their motion blur ends up looking more linear. I dunno, I'm looking into it. At any rate, the dual props don't move quite so fast as regular helicopters, on account of the fact that the propellers are more efficient (and heavier- they'd fly off if they spun too fast.:p)
