Woah, Kahl! you've been gone for 5 years Sharl exclaimed.
Seems I stopped playing animal cross around halloween time back then considering all the decorations.

Ship I've been noodling on between freelance the last few days. It's been ages since I've done one, and it used to be all I was known for! Around two hours so far. Funny these things take me so much less time than other projects. Hopefully finish it this week when I have time.

Tried the Aileron/flaps in conjunction with the ......yoke? But ha ha.
Shapekey on the exhaust next and a test shader that heats up
Work in progress shot of an 3D model aircraft and getting side tracked looking at reference photos
Bit more, but from the front this time as I've been at the weird intake. Need to be careful I don't detail one area up to much compared to the others, so will do the back flappy bit next.... positive that's the technical name [flaps hands in left and right motion]

Started building the replacement for the placeholder ship [next post], but got a base animation sorted......sort of, it'll change, learning stuff.
Flat plywood is erm, mmmmm yes, more. Only issue when specifying it was stopping contractors from using the ones with massive logos and text printed on it :D

As I get deeper into blender its quiet madness. Today was working out maintaining object instances across scenes yet allowing for seperate lighting and material setups per scene on many gb, several thouand object files.
I can't abide shit file management these days :D
Consider supporting this. The first comic collection was excellent and is also available as part of a selection.

My son has been doing 3D modeling for a few years now
He lacks motivation, because he's a bit alone at his age to have #Blender as a hobby
I've been bugging him for months to build up a portfolio of his own
If you are on #Cara don't hesitate to leave a comment or share his work

I work on all those experiences. There is a hell of a lot of work and really quick turn arounds in those sectors even outside Disney.
You get to do short movies, computers games and sports within it all as well.
Wonder if it stems from the age old aguments about if peeing in the shower is okay or not and one of the devs was so worked up over the argument they were just. "Its so wrong i'm gonna label it!"

Think there have been a few actors specifying this with the whole Peter Cushing fiasco setting it off and hologram music tours not too long ago.

I kinda starting giving up on game dev, but turned out they made AR/VR, arcade games, CGI short movies, interactive movies and ride media as well, so getting to do a whole range now.

Blenders a bit finicky compaired to what i've seen a collegue do with liquigen / embergen, he also wants to try flip fluids because of the pigment color mixing based on Mixbox
lol, that honestly brightend my day. Thanks

"-It's remarkable that they've managed to fit a gimballed engine into this frame, but how does it brake?"
"-Feet first. It brakes feet-first"
It's going to be hard, look after yourself and know people care.
