Final Flight - Avro CF-105 Arrow Maya, Photoshop May 2008
Hi,
This is something that I completed recently in my spare time. Modeled in Maya and textured in Photoshop. The Clouds were generated with Maya Fluids and I used PaintFX to generate the contrails. The afterburners were added afterwards using Photoshop.
The CF-105 Arrow, a supersonic (mach 2+) interceptor developed in the 1950's by Avro Canada. The jet in the BG is RL-201 and in the FG, with the day glow orange markings is RL-205. I chose these 2 for the significance of being the first and last aircraft produced that flew. I've been a fan of the Arrow since I learned about it and it's sad fate so I made this image as a tribute to Arrow and the people that worked on it. A picturesque view of the last flight, or at least how I picture it.
Thanks for viewing, comments are welcome.
