The Birth of the Stratoglider

This illustration is a job I did for the Czech magazine VTM Science. The illustration was featured on the cover as well as being the main illustration for one of the articles inside. The article dealt with the Czech super glider project named ICADA whose goal is pretty ambitious: to fly the glider around the world. The glider has no engine and once it is airborn it will not land until it has reached its final landing site. In this tutorial I will not only focus on showing images illustrating the making of this illustration in C4D but rather show you how the project was approached and shaped as I find this to be more interesting,

How it Started

The  editorial staff of VTM Science magazine one day received a very interesting call from a Mr. Vladislav Zejda, a well known Czech glider expert. Mr. Zejda explained that they were planning a flight around the world in a specially designed glider and perhaps this would make an interesting article? Of course it would! But as the Stratoglider, as it was called, wasn’t yet built there were no photographs available to go with the article. The VTM Science magazine was familiar with my 3D hobby and thus I was given the job.
