20°C, clouding over
Is it a planet?
Some days it is, some not. Nice to see astronomers arguing over something small.
Just realised that I have done no painting for a week! Time dilation effects can occur at any time. I lost a chunk of time this afternoon, it’s hard to explain as I was asleep at the time. It was a ½hour nap that started at 17.00 and finished at 18.30. The weather has been odd today also, I got soaked cycling but the roads didn’t get wet- a day of conundrums.
3DS Max: as you’ve seen from the photos, that Biplane looks ok, but on measuring it, all sorts of errors appeared. Some bits were only 1 inch out, but several others were considerably more. It’s taken 2 hours to get that right, plus to make some other modifications. the problem appeared because the undercarriage wouldn’t fold properly into the wing, the pivots/levers were way out.
Picture(right) is the new plans imported to max and (left) a render showing the new rounder leading edge on both wings, it was rather angular before. It has nearly reached 6,900 triangles.
