3D Helicopter Animation ( Blender 4.2 CGI )

✅ THE ARTWORK : https://www.artstation.com/artwork/VJ...
A 3D Blender animation rendered on Cycles to put in practice some blender' studies about geometry nodes animation for large scale scenery.
I was learning and getting myself up to date for the new Blender 4.2 version of blender and decided to recreate an helicopter animation based on several movies references.

The smoke animation is created on Embergen 1.1.2. It's not perfect but add a bit more storytelling to the shot.

For the characters, I used this model: "SOLDIER complete Pack 3D model" made by Albin Merle: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/mi...
Animation is done on Actor, skining done in blender. I could have done a proper cloth sim in Marvelous... I only used a disp map in Blender instead.
