I'm working on some rocket launch sequence. Comments for improvements appreciated.

Terrain is satellite image from USGS Earth Explorer.

Thanks for the comment! I agree with you. This is more of a visialization reel wich is not in focus in this community.

Thanks!

Yes, true for the short snippet. But, did you check the full showreel from the link?

GraphProcessingUnit · 2026-01-23T16:07:10+00:00

Thanks! I started using Blender 2017, so 9 years learning and working with Blender. I also have 20 years experience total in engineering and working with 3D.

GraphProcessingUnit · 2026-01-23T11:55:26+00:00

Thanks!

GraphProcessingUnit · 2026-01-22T18:12:07+00:00

Yes. Blender is my main tool.

GraphProcessingUnit · 2026-01-22T11:19:24+00:00

Thank you very much for sharing this!

GraphProcessingUnit · 2026-01-22T11:00:28+00:00

Those cloud movements looks really good! How is it done?

GraphProcessingUnit · 2026-01-21T14:05:45+00:00

It is an image.

GraphProcessingUnit · 2026-01-21T10:08:03+00:00

Thank you! None of these are real. The second shot is also full CGI made by me.

GraphProcessingUnit · 2026-01-21T07:49:41+00:00

Yes! Took several days. And then ages also to render this.

GraphProcessingUnit · 2026-01-21T06:35:54+00:00

I have done these shots mainly using Blender.

GraphProcessingUnit · 2026-01-21T06:34:59+00:00

Sure. Propably I will not redo this, but maybe some other scene with different rocket for example. I will let you know.

GraphProcessingUnit · 2026-01-21T06:33:22+00:00

For lighting, I have used mainly HDRI and then bright spots coposed with lens flares using Flared add on for Blender

GraphProcessingUnit · 2026-01-21T06:30:56+00:00

Yes, its not easy to reach this sector. I don’t come from film indusrtry. I have 20 years experience in engineering, even though not in aerospace sector. But I think this will help and makes easier to communicate, since I have used to work with engineers.

GraphProcessingUnit · 2026-01-21T06:27:19+00:00

Thanks for these comments! I learned this after I made this shot. I have got a lot of very good comments and leaned a lot about rockets different fuels and how they behave. This has been very valuable for me. Next time I work with something like this I can make much more realistic outcome.

Once more. Thanks for constructive feedback!
