Render of Da Vinci Airscrew

My attempt at a render of Da Vinci’s Airscrew. I am an amateur and I know this image could do with some work therefore criticism is encouraged. 1000 samples. Cycles


The mayor problem is that i cannot see completely the subject: move those two “poles” (i don’t know the word) from the foreground or change a bit camera position.
You can try with different image dimensions, at example 1:1.
About the airscrew: i think there was some kind of wood skeleton to keep up all the screw structure…
Lighting: maybe you can try with something like this:


And welcome to Blenderartists :slight_smile:

the picture works. I’d try putting glass around the screw helicopter and making a wall or a room around it.

Hi there, that’s a nice start.

But why the volumetrics? It’s obviously an exhibition and the makers of the exhibition would do anything to avoid dust and humidity. Instead of the volumetrics a modelled environment would add much more to the image imho. I’d also say that there is no clear focus.

Other than that it’s a very promising work. Keep it up :slight_smile:

I am really late but thanks to everyone for the input. (Y)
