New updates for: P-38 Lightning - 09/28/2019

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another blog of my Blender projects. For this one, I'll be showing you new renders of Lockheed P-38 Lightning.





Initially, I saved the original with a different name for testing - just like I did for the wings texturing test. I still have that file and the original one on the computer my brother and I use for Blender projects.
Back to what I was saying. In this file, I added the textures for the spinners and the fuselage. In the main component, I added some shark teeth and a bluish gray spray around the lower section of the aircraft. For the spinner, I kept the red temporary texture, with a slight modification after the UV mapping. Both the red and the yellow textures has a black line to represent the casted steel plates. Meanwhile, I made a minor adjustment on the turbocharger intake.

And, after that update, I decided to make something similar to the nacelles.





I included the U.S Air Force Roundel on the side of the nacelle and the same bluish gray painting on the lower section; plus the red/yellow portion from where the spinner is attached. I took three attempts with UV mapping on the nacelle due to the seams adjustments and it was a bit of pain by rotating and scaling the roundel.

This is one of my attempts for texturing the P-38 Lightning. I have plans of making other texture packs - with the Brazilian Air Force version as one of them. If everything works well, I believe it will be ready in no time.

Probably in the future - after we finish the P-38 project, I plan to make the other aerial fighters from World War 2 - like the Messerschmitt BF 109 E-4 variant, Focke-Wulf FW 190 D9 'Long-Nose Dora', Messerschmitt ME 262, P-51 Mustang D variant, Supermarine Spitfire Mk V and Mk IX, Mitsubishi A6M Zero, Yakovlev Yak-9 and some others. With these fighters along the P-38, this is going to be one of the greatest parties ever done.

I hope you like it. I plan to share more artworks and other things I did in my time with the P-38 project, which I added more things in the current stage. Until the time comes, you will be surprised to see it. See you next time.

Concluding the J2M3 Raiden, plans to resume my studies for another civil service exam and spam bots on Sketchfab - May 11, 2026

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog in 2026. I know. I've been absent without writing anything new here. As most of you are aware, Julie (our family's dog) passed away on February 18. And, during those days I fell into depression. Some things related to my personal life haven't been going well and sometimes it has affected my work a little - making me think about finding something else to do in life and giving up my current position. But now I'm doing alright. Probably in this week I'll resume my studies for upcoming civil service exams. There are some that are promising in case I plan to move on for another job - even if I'm going to gain more or less from what I'm used to. I may resume to send my professional resume for any job applications in case the public notice of competition take time to be released. Enough of that. Let's talk about I'm going to share you the images of the Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden. I concluded the Japanes...

Concluding the Nieuport 28 and Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (new project) - January 8th, 2026

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog here to start 2026. I know. I've been absent without writing anything new here. Updating the computer that I use, job, studies, playing video-games, watching some YouTube videos, listening to some musics and doing my chores at some moments decreased my spare-time dedicated to Blogs. I'm still moving some things from Windows to Fedora Linux and testing some things, like OBS Studio, Audacity and some other programs. I still need to see if I'm going to install HitFilms via Bottles or plan to find for another video editor software that could be compatible with Linux. There are others, but I'm not going to consider Lightworks. I tried it once before knowing HitFilms, but my brother and I didn't enjoy it due to a series of factors. Yet, William told me Blender could be an alternative since there are video editing tools. However, there are some saved files from HitFilm that I didn't finish before installing Fed...
