Douglas SBD Dauntless ww2 dogfight / UE5 3D Animation

Here I tried to make a realistic 3d animation of a ww2 dogfight, based on a real event where pilot Stanley "Swede" Vejtasa with a Dive bomber Douglas SBD Dauntless against three Mitsubishi Zeros.

I modeled both Aircraft models in Blender according to the blueprints. I made the airplane textures in Quixel mixer and photoshop.

The pilot is made in Metahuman and the clothes in Marvelous Designer and Blender.

The entire animation is animated and rendered in Unreal Engine Lumen (real time)

The final edit is in Premiere pro.
