Description
I was watching the excellent film "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" and I thought I want to create images like that!
I eventually found a P40 (as used by our hero) on BAZZE's site and found it to be a fab model.
I plonked the pilot from his Spitfire into the cockpit (well, Jude Law IS British) and decided to TRY and create texture for the plane to match the film.
I was going to ask someone else to do that (Hi Newill) but I wanted to have a bash first.
The image was rendered in Bryce and blurred and bleached in PhotoShop to match the look of the film - though it needs more grain I think.
My idea now is to pit Sky Captain and his Army for Hire (well, airforce actually!) against all manner of retro evils... time will tell.
Thanks for looking.

Great render, and a great idea.Anything I can do to help, I'll see what I can come up with.
Great model and texturing and a good reminder of this stylish film!
Great flying Tiger.
Fun movie and great render.
I agree, looks great Iain. I have the DVD too but haven't got round to watching it yet. Good work on the weathered texture and blur effect :)
Nice rendition of "Polly." Loved the film when it hit the theaters and I still watch it regularly. The film's creator Kevin Curran really was a pioneer with his near-completely virtual sets. H definitely, definitively set the pace for successors like AVATAR. Tall ya, I cannot see a can of Vienna Sausages without hearing that guy in Tibet's wistful, lustful cry.
Great scene. Corrie
great render, monogram had a nice kit of this model ;)
Has a great look... I have seen the film and its close.. The film grain effect is available in Picasa 3 (from Google as a free download!)along with loads of other photoshop stuff! Check out my 'Duxford 1938' post of yesterday.. Is that the effect you are after..? Thats Picasa3.. Great work.. Rob
