"Final Flight"

Avro CF-105 Arrow

Maya, Photoshop

2008

Generating The Background

The cloud volumes were generated in Maya using Fluids with some simple lighting to match the light angle chosen for the sun.

The rendered cloud volume was then composited on top of a gradient layer to create the final backdrop.

Rendering the Jets

The background image is added to the scene camera as an image plane and the Arrow models are placed in the scene. The jets are

then individualy lit using pointlights and spotlights fans. The Contrails generated by the wingtips were created with paintFX.

Postwork

The jet renders from Maya are composited onto the background in photoshop. The afterburners and some other touch-ups are

hand painted in Photoshop and the image is then color balanced. The darkened edges and grain is added to help age the image.
