First I made the basic shape, this is just 2 cylinders sized and shaped by eye.
step 1 of 13
step 2 of 13
Next I created a spline to make one of the kites segments, I made it editable and used the knife tool to slice to a triangle shape and then delete what I didnt want
step 3 of 13
I then duplicated the same object 4 times and rotated to the positions they would end up in
step 4 of 13
This stage was just after using the brush tool to adjust the cloth materials to make them more pulled out as if being blown by the wind.
step 5 of 13
A rendered view at this stage to check how it looked.
step 6 of 13
Now i added some textures to the objects, simple wood from the databse for the cylinders and those are actually carpet materials for the cloth
step 7 of 13
Drew a b-spline for the string
step 8 of 13
Added a sweep nurbs with a small circle to the bspline and then tried out a render to check it out.
step 9 of 13
Made the tassles in the same way as I made the string and then created a small spline and duplicated it along the splines for the tassels
step 10 of 13
Started preparing the viewing angel for the render
step 11 of 13
Added a sky object and changed the settings just using presets until I got what looked like it would be a sunny and windy day for kite flying.
step 12 of 13
Made the setup for the render, added a sun object with area shadows
step 13 of 13
Decided it didnt look righht case the string holding the kite was too loose so I got rid of it and created a simple long cylinder instead to replicate the string. This is the viewing angle for the final render also.
Final result
