Blender VFX animation of a UH 1 Huey helicopter doing a landing just in front of a combat zone during the Vietnam war.
✅ THE ARTWORK: [ Ссылка ]

Here is a one shot I rendered inspired by the Coppola's Apocalypse Now movie. I was learning and getting myself up to date for the new 2.83 version of blender and decide to recreate a landing scene from the film into Blender.
This allowed me to improve my animation skill of a flying helicopter in 3D (my first attempt: [ Ссылка ]).

The smoke was created with the new fluid system of Blender 2.83, Mantaflow. The parameters of this system are complicated unlike the old one, but it is much more efficient. There is praticaly no artifact in the smoke simulation.

For the character, I used a model: "SOLDIER WWII USA" made by Albin Merle: [ Ссылка ]
Animation are from Mixamo, skining done in blender.

Inspired by Colonel Kilgore arrival's scene from Apocalypse Now
