Animating F-35 jets in Blender 

I want to imagine you taking a second day to develop this more. This is phenomenal work given it only took 1 day.

This is very good. I would have added a subtle movement to the background to make it look like they are moving

The way you did the engine heat distortion is genius, never thought of that! Thanks!

We are often so critical 9f our own work. You point out th .001% of thing you could do better, but I'm hugely impressed and inspired by the 99.999% of what you di beautifully. The attention to detail in the cockpit of the camera plane is what really sells the realism! Great job and thanks for sharing!

under rated work!! the amount of details that went on to this render is astonishing. Keep up the good work my dude, earned a sub.

This is very cool and inspiring. You've giving me ideas for a shot I'm working on

one of the UNDER RATED video of youtube..... ART is LOVE

This video could very easily be used as a tutorial! Thank you!

Despite the minor errors, buddy, your work is really good for a 4-minute scene...loved your hard work mate...

Amazing! Inspiring me to spend the weekend making cool stuff in Blender. Thanks

I was watching this video while smiling. Good job! I really enjoyed that!

It is not boring at all, it's super impresive and cool as hell cool 😀👍🏽

Huge respect dude literally Amazing.

The jet plume trick is a neat one, been wondering how I could do something like that for something

You could made the effect of clouds getting passed by the Jets to make it more realistic and made the background with a paralax effect or by rotating it. But great work!!

This is very awesome and you are really hardworked on it good luck❤

absolute awesomeness. a lot of effort and creativity. but besides of that, as a software developer I think Blender is a masterpiece in software industry.

Great I love it! I guess I never saw anything with so much quality into the blender it could be in 3.6 splash screen!!! Thank's for this breakdown is amazing.

Wow, incredible, it looks almost like an actual footage from a jet fighter cockpit

Just wow, I don’t have any words to say how amazing this is im a so into jets, maybe a new project is a top gun kinda movie off a aircraft carrier 🙌🙌🙌🙌

This looks great. There are however two more things that I would change. I would remove the camera shake as it doesn't make sense to have a cameraman stanging in the cockpit next to the pilot. If you want to make it feel more real just keep the camera locked and maybe add a bit of vertical shake the moment the camera plane starts rolling. The second thing is paralax. I would just keep the top of the background image pinned in place and slowly moving the bottom (as it is supposed to be closer to the plane) This will give you the feeling of fast movent even when moving the bottom by a few percent of it's width.

Man you sound like a young Werner Herzog. Cool job and thanks for sharing 🤘🏻

Echt cool geworden!

clean

awesome!

at these speed the cloud move noticable but exept that insanely good

Amazing work for such a short little time, especially the pov from the cockpit looks great. Just my 2 cents, the planes from pilot pov should be loosing speed as they turn off, so they should start dragging behind. Or, a great detail would be that the jet's nozzle turns slightly hotter indicating they're banking but also increasing speed.

absolutely amazing!!!

Amazing, thank you for posting!!!!

One day!!! This would take a week for me... after a month of practice. Great job!

You missed one part. The ground should have been spherical to give the illusion of a curved surface like the top of a ball. Overall, still pretty good.

GREAT job man!!!

Amazing job! Just a quick tip as a timesaver idea for your future projects. You rotated each bolt by hand, but it's faster to select them all and then go to Object->Transform->Randomize Transform, and then randomize rotation of objects along needed axis.

Fantastic work!

Looks extremely neat!

This video is inspirational really. The amount of detail and animation made in just one day. I'm going to keep learning blender, I just need a better computer

This is such a cool project, you answered all my questions! Throughout the video, and I wish we could get a tutorial on some aspects of the video, like the bone rigging, the jet engine vfx, and noise for animation nodes :)

That's insane

This is awesome !!

Damn this looks sick!!🔥🔥🔥

I have been working on doing the same thing with F-15's and now I know I am over thinking things. Great job.

wow just wow. Awesome work mate.

Fantastic ! Great job )

clean work

Damn i would LOVE a high res + looped version of this so i can uset as a wallpaper

Cool work, and in one day... wow amazing job

Very nice video sir One thing i want to point out is that the glass shader of those real jets are not as dark as the other jets in the animation The glass of real jets is neat, correct me if im wrong please

Is it possible to get the blend file?

Nice work!

It looks great. About 20 hours of rendertime? Which CPU, GPU and renderer did you use? Thanks.

Amazing Work, loved this video!!!!

damn this is great! i wanted to do a similar project with fighter planes too but never ended up finishing it, seeing all this done in a single day is crazy

Also you could add some voice acting and breathing that would really sell the effect

20 hours is just crazyy

Very nice animation congrats

That was pretty impressive

Really good result for the time invested :)

Great work thanks for share, looks awesome!

very very awesome and high quality! very good!

superb for a day's job matey

That looked incredible. And for only one day?? What technique did you use to simulate the heat distortion from the jet engines? I really liked that detail you put in.

It would be cool if they turned on the afterburner just before banking. Just a suggestion.

Great work Sir

great job.

Dude, continue with what you do. I am sold, you will eventually be rich and even more successful on day

this is amazing bro!

Just a little bit of a suggestion, space the fighters out more. Unless it's an airshow, fighters do not fly that tightly together. Watch "Mover ruin's movies" to see him go over unrealistic flying that are in movies and you'll get some great tips on how to make the shots more realistic. But great video!

great work 💪

Pretty damn good, especially for one day of work. Gotta animate those control surfaces though. That’s the main thing which makes it look instantly fake to me at the moment.

no hate but at the very end of the clip, we can see the enviroment page ending, but still, this is a masterpiece of animation

1 day work blows my mind. Making a donut took me the same time.

Wha you did this all in one day!!!

OMG THAT IS AMAZING!!!

Dude Nice Job This Looks So Cool:D

incredible.

I just started learning blender last week and I'm out here looking at these like am gonna be able to do it 😂

Reminds me of top gun great work 🤩

would have got still images of clouds imported them with alpha channel and had them in the foreground pass quick as closer clouds, maybe even some volumetric fog, looks really good

Well done!

It looks good! Nice trick with the refaraction exhaust. But the only thing ruining it is the static background. You would expect the clouds to move to the back.

Very nicely done. If I were to suggest any changes, they would only be on the technical side of what is being shot -not with any of your creative or technique choices, which were fantastic. 1. The camera in such a production would be fixed (probably by suction cup to the canopy), so you don't need any sway and probably don't want vibration. 2. Aircraft in an eschelon formation like the one you're modelling always break from the lead. The lead goes first, then #2, then #3 etc. Because the other aircraft are formating on the the lead -they are watching him/her. In your animation 5 breaks first, then 4, 3, 2 and finally the lead. This means that #4 is looking right and then breaks left into an aircraft they weren't watching, and therefore don't know precisiely where it is. Reposition your starting locations so the aircraft are in eschelon right, with the camera ship as #5 and the furthest aircraft as lead. 3. When aircraft break like this, they aren't on rails. They roll sharply and pull hard. A thousandth of a second difference in the stop point for the roll, means the final angle (and therefore the plane they are pitching in) will be different. At the moment each aircraft's movement is an exact clone of the others. There needs to be diversity in the final plane of pitch, so that some go slightly higher, and some lower. Watch the F-15 clip at the start of your video again to see what I mean. The lead aircraft pitches slightly higher than the #2. The third aircraft in the sequence actually uses the first two as references, so normally pitches somewhere between those two, and the same with later planes in the break.

A very slight movement of the entire background would`ve added a sense of speed. Also adding a few volumetric clouds closer to the planes also would`ve added a sense of motion. Otherwise great job, there`s a slight distortion on the BG when the plane banks, was that because of the mapping or the distortion of the canopy glass? Cheers

Wow, this looks sick! I'm really impressed with the final render. Just wanted to give some pointers, *OBS* I'm no 3D or aviation expert. 1. In the example video, when pilots execute those turns at the beginning, they usually raise the nose to maintain altitude. This increases air resistance significantly, causing the plane to slow down and eventually disappear out of frame, just like in the example video. 2. the cockpit glass on a fighter plane is kept clean for various reasons. So, seeing dirt or grime on it made me grit my teeth a bit. 3. You picked a fantastic backdrop, but I sank in to my chair a bit when you beveled the image because I knew it would create a fisheye/distortion effect on the backdrop. Instead, you could reduce the opacity on the bottom of the cloud image and then place the ground image flat under the plane for a smoother transition without any distortion. I understand this might require more effort, but it would definitely be worth it. 4. The top comment allready pointed this out. but making the backdrop move very slowly along the Y-axis would make the render so much more believable. Overall, it's an amazing video, and top notch render!

this is really well done

I think you did great! I've been working with Blender for almost 8 years now and still consider myself a noob...!

this is amazing. and in 1 day... amazing

Wooow awesome work

nice job brother blender

Im Realy proud of your content, keep going

Beatifull job bro actualy I'm a begginer but one day I will reach your level ❤🛐

awesome work

Amazing really love this

this looks awesome!

Wow! Nice work, you are an absolute genius! The workflow looks very good. I am still learning how to use 3D modeling Applications like Blender to practice sequencing action scenes but this was absolutely way better than I was expecting. I like the subtle boring look but the explanation for bone modeling and parenting was very cool! I will definitely refer to this animation in the future for help with learning how to render my own ideas. #Nvidia #i9 #3D #Modeling #Animate

Omg expert animation

come on man, this is super super awesome

Perfect definition of trust the process❤

nice work dude

Wow that looks good

20hours of rendering!!?? SHEEEESH
