What's wrong with this picture?

[mccordia 74]

I do 3D animation for a living...as a result I frequently surf the net for nice 3D images.
My provider has a 3D contest every month, and last month the subject was extreme sports.
A lot of people choose skydiving/base-jumping as a subject.
What's so funny is that people kinda make-up details based on what they think they know, or saw in a photo.
I'll include a few images with this msg.
they're quite funny..

Solo's with a drogue, ripcords that need to be pulled from your back, loose (or even no!) legstraps..

Enjoy

Quite a few giggles in there, but I swear, the red and yellow dude could be Levin...(sorry L).
He is trying the new harness free, velcro attached rig...
Also liked the Spector instead of Sector on the surf chick....

But not bad for what are obviously whuffoe efforts..

I'm also working at a 3D model right now. I'm trying to model the C208 fron Skydive Teuge (The Netherlands).

It sure isn't ready yet, but it is recognisable as a C208

Nice !! The TM without his passenger (hope he didn't fall off) is cool. Also like notbad_01

The drogue jumper doesn't have a reserve....!!! But it's the only picture you can see the three ring system.

There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Sure he does. It's just packed in a container that doesn't seem to open...

Actually drogue assisted freefall for solo students was sometimes used during training. If I remember correctly, some manufacturer's student (not tandem) gear used to be available with a drogue assist option.

I'm sure whoever created the model was basing it from a tandem photo, but I just thought that I would pipe in with otherwise worthless and unsolicited trivia.

There is a Chech manufacturer MarS that still offers a drouge option for student rigs. My club has that student rigs but do not use the drouge option. Just standard SL.

I think NacMan I have to agree with you.. Seen him in freefall an that kinda looks like him.
