Winning entry, with a score of:

65.6%

Contest goal:

In this contest, your goal is to use the following blue print:
Kamov Ka-22 and model a realistic helicopter with it.
The more realistic, the better. It is allowed to use a different blueprint, but it must be one of a helicopter and it must be displayed in your SBS. Good luck!

Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

mircea: preety low res the blueprint. However, we can use our imagination more in making something unique ( 5 years and 3305 days ago )

Toothpick134: just type in Google images Kamov Ka-20 you get ALLOT

( 5 years and 3305 days ago )

Toothpick134: Actually you only get something like 3 images.. I can't find more.. You can't really model a 'realistic' Kamov Ka-20 from a blueprint like that... Maybe provide a better reference? Or if possible change it to a different helicopter model?

Ory: Hrm, I want to participate, but I'd rather the theme was simply helicopter... Model any type you like. ( 5 years and 3305 days ago )

Draskinn: That image on The-Blueprints.com is not a Kamov Ka-20 itâ€™s a Ka-22. This is a Ka-20 http://www.aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/ka-20.php. and this is a Ka-22 http://www.aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/ka-22.php I think you want the Ka-22 if that is the blueprint you want to go with. Someone should drop The-Blueprints.com a email to let them know they have that number or blueprint wrong. ( 5 years and 3305 days ago )

Draskinn: Or just google Vintokryl ( 5 years and 3305 days ago )

Toothpick134: Uhh who picks these contests... ;D ( 5 years and 3304 days ago )

LKY: yea google images is better option ( 5 years and 3303 days ago )

Ory: Could we get a ruling from the mods on this please... Can we just change the description to, " model a realistic helicopter based on any other you've seen." ( 5 years and 3300 days ago )

mircea: ok... here's a better blueprint

http://www.aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/ka-22.php ( 5 years and 3299 days ago )

Contest Moderator: The contest theme says you can use any blueprint as long as it is a helicopter. Build ANY helicopter as long as you use a blueprint, and post the blueprint in your SBS. Good luck

spaceranger: Technically the aircraft shown in the blueprint is not a helicopter, it's a VTOL aircraft based on the Osprey. A true helicopter has fixed rotors. ( 5 years and 3299 days ago )

LKY: lol ( 5 years and 3298 days ago )

CoyDog: Technically it a Helicopter because it has Fixed rotors. the rotor did not pivot from vertical, It only has a tilt of about 20 degree from horizontal at most. It use the Main rotor up above to get a vertical take off and the props for extra speed in the Horizontal direction. In horizontal flight the Main blades auto-gyro for extra lift. ( 5 years and 3298 days ago )

LKY: okay I think now we will be having working models in this contest

Well, this one is a more traditional perspective on the air craft. Hope you all like it.. My first try at motion blur. Takes way to long to render. I could have used a texture for the blade and prob no one will notice :) (5 years and 3298 days ago)

The windows in the cockpit is actually stickers. I'll post a render of it, but later since it takes 30 minutes to render this one.

The textures on the box is all made in photoshop.

It was done with 3ds Max. Hope you like it:) (5 years and 3295 days ago)

model, Plane

author says:

I'll make a SBS as soon as possible. No time for it right now

MossyB says:

The light delineation on the table and the helicopter aren't quite right. If the light is that strong coming through the window, the shadows need to be deeper. Mainly it's the front edge of the table that visually bothers me the most, it looks brown rather than shadow gray...Being white, it shouldn't have any tint in shadow.

very nice work author and great idea...extra points for that...best of luck

RichieMB says:

Great idea.

author says:

Made a SBS

author says:

MossyB, I understand what you mean, but the table is not all white. its wood, but appear white as the sunlight hits it. The shadow have no tint at all, so the true color of the table is revealed in the shadow.

I do have tint in the daylight light source though. White with about 5% blue in it.

Ty for constructive comments!

secretsather says:

Fantastic! Overall looks great, but the simulation of a large f-stop is throwing everything off. The blur almost looks like it was added in after the render, rather than being part of it. I only say this because the face of the chair is sharp, while the edge is blurry. Also the edge of the box seems to blend into the background, as if it were masked then blurred. Oh, and you forgot to blur the cabinets behind the chair

author says:

Secretsather, I made the blur in photoshop since I not yet handle perspective blur in 3Ds max yet. Ive been working on it, but it takes very very long time to render. I updated the picture, but hopefully with 3D render blur.

btw, simulation of a large f-stop? explain

secretsather says:

The aperture on a camera is what determines the amount of blur and depth of field (the area in which an object is in focus) and is measured in f-stops. A good understanding of depth of field (Google it) will allow you to better understand what should be blurred, how much blur, and when to blur. I don't know anything about 3ds, so someone else would have to confirm, but you should have a setting on the camera that allows you to adjust the f-stop; a close up model with an f-stop of 2.8 would produce the effect that looks ultra real, and may even reduce your rendering times as well.

secretsather says:

Alternatively, if 3ds does not have such settings, you may render the background, blur it in photoshop, then render the foreground with a transparent background and overlay it on top of the image you just blurred.
