This project began as another collaboration with Bacon Oslo in 2023, this time for Norse Atlantic Airways. They needed an accurate 3D model of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner with Norse Atlantic Airways’ livery for a short film. They provided a base model, and I built on it to add and enhance details, then created the livery based on the reference sheet Norse Atlantic provided. Fast forward a couple of years, and I thought it would be a good idea to bring the model into Unreal and have a play with the clouds in Ultra Dynamic Sky, adding some VDB clouds for better control, and to test the Cesium plugin for creating a 3D Geospatial Terrain. I have to admit I was blown away by the plugin’s ease of use and the quality of the landscape. In the turntable video, it’s barely visible under the clouds, but it’s absolutely fantastic!
