Follow-up to the SR-71 Blackbird

So I finished up the Blackbird detailing, and threw it up on thingiverse. Some 900 or so people have downloaded it, and a few have shared pictures of their prints.

Final Render in Blender

This one was impressively glossy for a fresh print. I liked how the details around the cockpits came out, but this doesn't highlight them that well.

Printed in blue.

Just thought I'd share with you guys, and see what you thought. Thanks for looking!

Working on a new logo

So I feel like I finally got some inspiration for my branding. Thought I'd vectorize myself and came up with this. Some friends and family said I looked a bit like a DJ.

So I decided to add in some wireframes, and the blender logo to really make it a little more clear. Let me know what you guys think!

Here's the node setup for the blue liquid. The green is the exact same with just some different colors.

SR-71 Blackbird 50% of detailing done

So the goal of this one is a highly detailed 3D printable model. I'm putting as much detail as possible right into the mesh. I will likely have to make the wing artificially thicker to accommodate being printed, but we'll see.

Lucio's Gun Final

I've decided to leave the model where it is. There are a few things that I could do to perfect the render but I decided against it. This will be printable with just a few modifications and slices. Look for it on thingiverse in the near future.

Final

I'm very happy with the way it turned out. I thought about scuffing it up and adding a worn look to it, but I don't think that's really my style. I enjoy clean surfaces and perfect shapes. This is just a touch off the mark for my OCD. I would spend another 10-20 hours fixing it though, and I think that time would be better spent learning some newer techniques, or starting a new project. 

Please add feedback if there are things you'd change or questions you have. As always, thanks for looking!
