Whitley airframe

Another nice day (21°C) more like the day before yesterday, more wind and not as much cloud as yesterday.

Feedback from the Whitley Project group has been great.thus:
Very, very impressive!
No problem playing with broadband.
It will bring a nostalic tear to my father’s eye when he sees this. He
flew Whitleys until he had an unscheduled meeting with the North Sea
in 1941.
I look forward to your next upload.
Regards
Dave
Well, I will just have to get on with the next render then (actually I have done the first new clip, of 3 seconds long. there are still a few componants that need finishing off on the mesh. But the clips done so far have avoided showing them. After posting this note, I will continue.

3DS Max: The finish is in sight! Rear turret complete – and ready for mid & distant shots. Also it gan be exported to the Stirling mesh. Started the front turret – which must remain temporary since the technical drawings I have aren’t that clear. Finally- here is a test render using raytracing on the perspex material. Not too bad eh?

  1. Oh. My. God. You did those oil paintings? How long did it take to get that good?Help me! I want you as my teacher… I love to draw, I can’t get enough, but I think I lack style and I’ve never gone near oils – I’m scared!

  2. Looking through your pictures again (I’m getting addicted).. the school planner pictures are so good, I really like the hand/gun one. Wow. And the photographs. Man. I’m really wishing i was pursuing a career in art now, or had taken Art as an AS level.*Sigh*

  3. I started oil painting last christmas, but I suppose I have been drawing for many years, perhaps 35 years! As for oils- it’s not that hard, easier than acrylics I think, and the end result is of far higher quality- it makes you feel like an expert.
