Boeing Stearman Model 75

A classic Boeing Stearman biplane, made for my portfolio as a hard-surface modelling study.

I modelled and textured the plane in Maya, then brought it into Unreal Engine 5 to light it and frame the shots in the sky. The pilots in the cockpit are ready-made assets.

The round engine and the propeller at the front, with lots of small parts packed into one place.

• Wings, struts and bracing wires only look right when every shape is clean and lined up.
• Getting a model and its materials from Maya into Unreal without breaking anything.
• Sky light and the right camera angle are what make a model feel like it is really flying.
