New Updates for: Me 262 - September 24, 2021

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog. We are now on September 9 - past the half of 2021; hoping for the things to get better as the World continues in this fight for survival and to develop a (possible) cure for the COVID-19 pandemic.

For this month, my university semester is in course - in which my attention will have to be re-directed to the new tasks, in addition to my service at the public health center. And to complement it, Warframe introduced the new Nightwave chapter - which will shorten my time with Blender projects again. (sigh) Let's not go into that detail.

For this Blog, I'm going to show you the new adjustments of the German Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a. Let me show you what I did so far.












The Me 262 received new changes compared to the last Blog. The new components made were the flaps, the navigation lights on the wings tip and the fairings for the landing gear on the plane's belly. I struggled to find the exact position from the landing gear to the spacing from where it's retracted during the flights. Plus, I had to count with photos since there's no proper blueprint / schematics that shows the Me 262 landing gear alignment, position and rotation from the main structure to the ground without the engines to block it.

Other thing I had to struggle is to remade the Armature and adjust the groups in the Vertex Group with the new Armature since I appended from piston-engine planes to a jet-plane. Curious fact that the first prototypes were piston-engine planes until 1942 they started to test the BMW 003 and Junkers Jumo 004 jet engines on the Me 262. The animation for the landing gear being retracted and released during take-off and landing was also one of the things I had difficulties for adjusting it if wasn't for War Thunder and IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad and Bodenplatte.

And now let me show you the big update on the German jet fighter.








After concluding some things from the mesh and rigging the plane, I applied the Mirror modifier from the wings, fuselage, elevator, rudder and engines; then the next step is to select the necessary edges to mark seams for the UV Mapping. With that done, I unwrapped its map to paint it with Blender painting tools. The Messerschmitt Me 262 is looking amazing with this texture. There are others I plan to do, but I'll keep this one since I like the gray color pattern on top of the light blue surface. The yellow stripe was made on the fuselage texture instead of a plane with Shrinkwrap attached to that component.

The Luftwaffe roundel on the fuselage looked a little raised when I looked at some photos. That detail was corrected later.

The last thing to do is the texture for the instrument panel; and the Pitot tube. I noticed it was the last thing left from the build-up process - which I made it recently after this Blog. Other than that, I believe all components are looking good to go.

Well, that's it for now my friends. I hope you enjoy this Blog. In case I have some spare time to enjoy, I'll be working on other things aside from Blender projects and my personal things. Until the time comes, you will be surprised to see them. See you next time.

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog during this quarantine phase while the World makes their best to find a (possible) cure for the COVID-19 pandemic. First of all, I would like to inform you that I returned to work at the public health center in the city where I live. Yup, I'm back on duty after a long time of waiting. In case you follow me on DeviantArt, you are aware the reason for my return. In case not, I'll leave the link to my recent journal there. Job and Lowering my personal works... again (Upd): https://www.deviantart.com/tonytoriusimages/journal/Job-and-Lowering-my-personal-works-again-Upd-875311216 I still can't believe it because they gave me a very tight working schedule even if it is to cover the absence of others at lunch, like - working at 05:00 to 07:00, then at 11:00 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 21:00? It's a pretty tiresome trip. Fortunately I have the weekends and holidays to rest, study and working in my projects. However, I have a ...

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog. We are now on October 11 - approaching the end of 2021; hoping for the things to get better as the World continues in this fight for survival and to develop a (possible) cure for the COVID-19 pandemic. For this month, my university semester is in course - in which my attention will have to be re-directed to the new tasks, in addition to my service at the public health center. Fortunately I concluded the tasks to reach level 30 in the new Nightwave chapter, which makes things easier for me now that I don't have to go for the prizes. Now for this Blog. I'm going to show you the new adjustments of the Italian Macchi C.202 Folgore. Let me show you what I did so far. The Folgore received a new Armature after I appended from the P-51 Mustang project - with some slight alterations in the rotation for the landing gear and canopy hatch bones; aside from adding more bones for the links. Now it's looking good. I struggled to ...

New updates for: Horten Ho 229 and F6F Hellcat (new project) - March 22, 2024

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog in 2024. I'm still working as a receptionist at the public health center where I live and my 7th semester is still ongoing. That means, my time for Blogs decreased to some occasions. The town hall is calling the candidates from the civil service exam. They called the first two approved candidates for the receptionist vacancy, with the first one accepting it. The nurse and the archive officer is still going, the fourth candidate for ambulance driver on duty accepted the vacancy while the three other candidates didn't take it as they are working for other town halls. I'm still I'm waiting to be called to work as a community health agent or as a receptionist. Unless the second candidate accept the vacancy, I'll have to wait a little more. There's a chance they might call me after they inaugurate the new public health center, dedicated for specialized doctors (pediatrics, cardiologist, ginecologist, physioth...
