Wow ! What can I say ? You did it all by yourself ? Great job, CG animation is very difficult. I hope you can continue in this way and maybe do the sequel !!!

Thanks for your critique and the encouraging words.

The stripped down helicopter.blend has been uploaded to http://e2-productions.com/repository
The maintainer, Dion Moult, announced to validate the contribution within 24 hours.

And please, don't send an exorcist! I promice to practice animation skills and to learn the filming basics. But first I will spend some time in a beer garden, to observe natural movements of real people.

If the helicopter blend file model is available can someone tell me where i can find the site to downloading it?

not the video which is around 100 MB just the helicopter model

i like that Leonardo work he was a bit out of is time and it took us close to 400 year s to get at his level of knowledge not bad for a guy under the inquisition by some pope who did not believe in science!

No violence… Awww, well that just ruins the whole thing for me, lol, jk. Well done for just one, better Mats. and less textures would make me happy. On a side note, Davinci's helo, can't work, Leonardo did not understand aerodynamics enough to know that without stability, and rotation controll the helo once airborn would spin the chasis not the propellors, once the body spin had stolen enough spin from the rotors he would have crashed back to earth. Maby next time you should tell the story of how leonardo's inventions would have failed, it could be way more funny.

Although a great effort by a single individual, I think the timing of the animation seemed off somehow – too slow and rigid…. Just some constructive criticism… – It's open source so maybe I should try to do better? LOL!

This is nit-picky, but shouldn't the guys on the contraption be going the other way? The direction they are turning the machine would drive it into the ground, much like an auger digging dirt.

Also, it would have been interesting if the woman were the Mona Lisa…
