Pan Am’s Hawaii Clipper in 3D
Thanks everyone for all your warm notes on this project. The 3D M-130 Flying Boat is completed and here is the image. Please note that all the “filters” that are used to take it from cartoon to photo real have not been used and is pretty much raw. Given that, it looks pretty darn good…
