9 Cylinder Radial Engine

The model was based on a Pratt & Whitney Wasp 9 cylinder radial aircraft engine from around 1925. The images were rendered with cycles at 200 samples and it took about 18:30 hours for each view. The model is not an accurate representation of a specific engine as there were not enough detailed images available so I used parts from a Wasp 1340, Wasp Junior R-985 and a Wasp R-2000.



aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 18hours for each frame at 200 samples only! loooooooong render time! how many poly?
nicely done though…
hopefully its something like 50 bil polys… which would explain 18h… :slight_smile:

Nice renders! The colors and materials look pretty realistic!

im guessing they took longer to render than to model :wink:

Beautiful work!

Thanks, I’m working on a GeeBee Model R-1 and will be using this engine.

Great! GeeBee is a very funny airplane, and looking at this engine I am sure that you will recreate its every detail :). This engine is really a top-class model.

Very well modelled! Good job!

Nicely done.

I appreciate the feedback, Thanks!

Looks great!!

Would love to see a tutorial on how you modelled this.

Very well done.

I’ll try to find the time to create a tutorial, Thanks!

i would love to see the GB! but that would probably take 48 hours to render :slight_smile:
i agree that it has amazing detail :wink:
