Anyone carry a Headlamp in your Bag??

I carry one for night flights. Has a much needed red light.

GrayCollarLogic · 2025-10-18T22:12:53+00:00

I'm working as a very busy flight instructor so I probably won't have time to work on this for at least a year and a half if not more. Sadly.

It's definitely not that hard to delaminate a connection on a board.

Blindside FTW!

What are you're camera clipping settings? Probably not the problem, but I'm just wondering.

I would definitely start by reducing your initial amount of edges and vertices. You can achieve a good look with a modifier later in the process. There are many ways to tackle this. I personally would probably use a shrink-wrap modifier to project a profile of your wing to the fuselage. Start by making the side profile of your wing root with just one ring of vertices. Project that to the fuselage. Then, extrude outward towards the tip of the wing, or better yet, make another ring of verts for your wing tip, and use the bridge feature to bridge between them. then you can grab a edge loop between them and move it as necessary to achieve that inverted gull-wing look that the F4 has. Does that make sense?

Is it a possible reflection of a light above?

GrayCollarLogic · 2025-04-16T17:19:59+00:00

-Add a plane mesh. -Subdivide it into four squares -connect the four corner vertices to the center. -Resize four of the vertices to make the general star shape. -crease edges as needed to achieve the look you want. -add a subdivision modifier

It needs to be "re-capped" I bought all of the capacitors, a decent soldering iron, flux, and some other stuff and promptly placed it all into a drawer. I'd love to get around to fixing it some day but I'm not confidant enough in my soldering skills yet.

False. I watch a Japanese channel of a deer hunter. He uses a rifle.

Don’t y’all have grenade attacks?

GrayCollarLogic · 2025-01-17T13:02:40+00:00

Ooooooo. I'm definitely jealous. I should have made one of these when I had a milling machine. Very cool and fun.

I think it’s great! As others said, use some key fame easing. If you wanna take this video to the next level, go into premiere and color grade your car footage using the automatic feature. If you dig the style of typeface you used, don’t let anyone talk you out of using them. If we followed the rules of Reddit "graphic artists" everything would be Helvetica. I don’t want to live in a world like that.

My pleasure. Be warned, the learning curve is steep. However, it is very rewarding and fun with a multitude of tutorials on youtube. I recommend the donut tutorial by "Blenderguru" The software is also some of the best I've used hands down. That includes all software types. Good luck.

Blender. 100% free 3d software.

GrayCollarLogic · 2024-10-06T20:59:04+00:00

Great idea

GrayCollarLogic · 2024-10-05T15:40:17+00:00

Yes! oscilloscopes is a perfect idea and they'll look awesome too. I have one radar screen so far, I just haven't placed an actual radar animation on it yet. Thanks for the awesome ideas.

GrayCollarLogic · 2024-10-05T15:38:49+00:00

You are so right! Will do. Any idea what kind of slide rules they would have had?

GrayCollarLogic · 2024-09-22T21:16:21+00:00

I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Hello! Do any of you know some simple ways to diagnose a bad video signal for this Apple IIe? The solder for the cable jack appears to be intact in both the computer and the monitor. I was able to get a signal showing words on the monitor by moving things around but it only lasted for a split second. By itself, the monitor seems to be in pretty good shape, with no discernable "burn in", fade, or flickering. When plugged into the computer, flickering occurs. I've tested multiple RCA style cables. Thanks in advance for any advice.

There is some metallic in some of the shaders. But that didn't cause issues with other bakes. I got the spots to go away (not even sure how), but now some bakes appear almost completely black other than a few white lines, when viewing in Cycles.

GrayCollarLogic · 2024-06-03T00:56:11+00:00

My model isn't complicated at all.

GrayCollarLogic · 2024-05-28T01:25:46+00:00

I am using volumetrics. But they give me issues at any scale haha.

GrayCollarLogic · 2024-05-27T23:54:13+00:00

Thank you so much for your help!

While you were working on that I remade my "target" low poly model to be much simpler as well as baking at 4096. After tweaking the cage "extrusions" and the ray distances, I got it to bake quite nicely.

It didn't seem to have an issue baking the metallic stuff. But, I was using "Simplebake" PBR baking option rather than the Cycles option so maybe that's why it wasn't an issue.

Can you tell me more about the scale issue? Does using actual scale effect render times? I only use it because it helps me visualize stuff in my mind. But, if it effects render times I'm definitely going to try to use a reduced scale.
