A lot of progress has been made this April. Two rockets in particular have been in the news a lot, the SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and North Korea’s Pukguksong-2. Even though both rockets, they serve completely different purposes. One rocket is designed to make space exploration cheaper and, eventually, makes getting humans to Mars possible, the other designed to carry a weapon of mass destruction to it’s target many miles away.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is going right, making it seem as it is going forward, and the Pukguksong-2 is going left, or backwards. However, being a 3D model and all, viewed from the other side it is the Pukguksong-2 that is going forward, illustrating that progression is also a matter of perspective and that for some people (North Korean leaders) they are definetly making progress.
The smoke consists of multiple low-poly spheres copied around. I wanted to retopo everything but with the deadline being so close I did not have time to do this.
