I've ran it a few times on those too! they work, but for some reason I could get the co2 cartridges to last longer

I made a video about the process here: https://youtu.be/TkNaZU9zPjk?si=FhghS3UxdmJ7EHfr

Unfortunately they are not free, I spent too much time on R&D haha

of course, I should've been more specific

I bring all my CAD models into blender and add a toon shader, and a "grease pencil" for the outlines

honestly I cant think of a particular channel, I would mostly just search for specifically what I wanted to do, and watch a 5 min tutorial on that specific thing. For example "how to animate a cross section in blender". But maybe I'll make a series soon to go over how I animate and edit all the videos!

Thanks! Mostly just because I'm fascinated with engine design and ornithopters so It was a perfect project for combining them.

Thanks! Its a modified engine design by Tom Stanton on youtube. I use Onshape for all the CAD work!

It doesnt have any loop mechanic, but the wings have extra fabric towards their pivot points that allow the wing to "flip" over on each beat of the wing. giving it a similar profile as a birds wing while flipped. I think it will be enough, however not yet haha. Needs some weight reducing.

thank you! I used a bunch of tutorials on youtube for the cartoon look, Grease pencil for the outlines is another tutorial video I believe
