A Chinook Helicopter! -Question

I was a CH-47 mechanic in the Army and I've always wanted a decent 3D model of one, so thank you Polish! I do have a question for anyone who may have picked it up already, in two of the Promo pics it shows the helicopters is flight with rotor blur, is that post-work or is it a prop that comes with the item? I can't tell from the item description https://www.daz3d.com/gh-transport-helicopter , it says "rotor blade rotate" which to me means you can manually rotate the rotors but DS doesn't have motion blur so I'm curious.

    Yeah, fun products but that's far from proper MB.

    Just managed to download it and, no, no blur option (material or extra blur prop).  There is quite a gap above the rear loading ramp (when up) and the 'roof' of the main body - would that be normal for one of these?

    According to on-line photos, that's how it is.

    ...the Navy/Marine version the, CH-46 Sea Knight (also civilian Vertol 107-II used by New York Airways and Pan American) had a fully enclosed aft end.

    The few I looked at never quite had the right angle, whilst the ramp was up, so thanks!

    I must have missed this release, will have to pick it up now.

    I was 8 and my first ride in any aircraft was a National Guard Chinook and that started my love of aviation, especially rotary wing flight. The Huey (UH-1 Iroquois) is my fav though!

    Well, I must admit, there were one or two that had the back completely sealed,, as kyoto kid says, but that's not usually the end that gets all the photo ops...

    It's a good set. No idea what the "attack helicopter" is supposed to be, Kiowa maybe? But the rest are very faithful versions of the helo's even if the PA doesn't name them.

  • NorthOf45NorthOf45 Posts: 5,553

    Pretty sure it's a UH-60 Black Hawk.

    Looks like a  MH-6/AH-6 Little Bird

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,249

    ...also many years ago the AH-1 Cobra.

    That's the "support helicopter." The "attack helicopter" looks like a civilian traffic copter with guns attached, which is what teh Kiowa looks like but the Kiowa has a mast on top of the rotor with a gunsight.

  • NorthOf45NorthOf45 Posts: 5,553

    D'oh! Should have looked at the product first. I'll go with Robert Friese and say the A/MH-6.

    yep, that is what it is/supposed to be.

    I am torn on getting these, they looks great, but I have nearly every helicopter ripped from every shooting game i own, so I have more heli meshes than I know what to do with, LOL

    While almost every picture on the web shows the aft end looking like this, there should be a 'clamshell' door internal to the ramp that slides up to close that gap when the bird is parked on the tarmac or flying in weather. Does the model have that?

    Not that I could see. and as I am now at a convention not going to be able to check, but am 99.99% certain there was not that option/facility.

    No it doesn't

    Including rotor blur would have made these a slam dunk insta-buy.  Without the rotor effect I think it will wait. Some vendors include them, some do not. To those who include them, I consider it a huge personal favor, you're my new best friend, don't include them, you're dead to me! <LOL>

    Reading over the thread again, I just realized you said 3Delight can do motion blur. I did not know that. Gonna have to see if I can do a 3delight render and post work the blur with an Iray render.

    Thanks.

    Ah. That's a little disappointing. For the two renders I've thought of one on a tarmac with the ramp down, and another in flight with the crew chief 'ramp surfing' it will be fine. But I would like to have the option of a clamshell there. I'll still pick it up and maybe make a suggestion to Polish about it.

    Anyone use this yet? The scale seems off, like WAY too BIG. I'm down to 70% as a guess, looking at pictures of the cockpit.

  • Griffin AvidGriffin Avid Posts: 3,779

    It's like the back is one scale and the cockpit is another.

    Either the cargo area is too small for troops to sit or the pilot's chair is HUGE.
