Flight Show Generator for Blender
Flight Show Generator is an animation tool designed to automate the process of choreographing synchronized aerial displays, stunt routines, and multi-aircraft formations.
By combining formation flight physics with keyframe baking, this addon allows animators to generate realistic flight paths, coordinated turning, wind turbulence, and dynamic camera movements.
Key Features
Procedural and Custom Flight Paths: Bind flight paths to standard curves drawn in the viewport or generate trajectories automatically.
Maneuver Sequencer: Sequence flight displays step-by-step using a dedicated stunt list editor (supporting straight passes, rolls, loops, Immelmann turns, split-s maneuvers, and stall turns).
Aerodynamic Banking Solver: Calculates banking roll angles based on plane speed and turn radius, with an adjustable banking sensitivity control.
Dynamic Camera Rigs: Creates chase, ground, wing, and cockpit camera views. Vibrations are keyframed dynamically based on centripetal and tangential G-forces.
Interactive Proximity Warnings: Scans flight trajectories for close encounters and highlights potential crossover conflicts with 3D warning indicators.
Exhaust Plumes: Attaches glowing, flickering emissive exhaust cones to aircraft engines.
Flexible Model Loading: Generates procedural stunt planes, imports models from a built-in library, or links to manually appended objects directly from the outliner.
What is Included in the Package
The Flight Show Generator Addon: Complete codebase supporting Blender 4.2 and Blender 5.x.
Built-in Models Library: Sample airplane models including Fighter Jets and Paper Planes to start animating immediately.
Documentation: A detailed setup guide covering custom curve path binding and sequence editing.
