New Updates for: Tiger I and Spitfire Mk I and Mk IX - January 15, 2022

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another blog here to start 2022. I know I've been absent for a while without a new Blog. At first I had the idea of recording a new video for my YouTube channel, but I realized some things were a little messed up. For that I'll record it again and upload - probably tomorrow.

For this Blog, I'm going to show the new renders of the German Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. E, aka Tiger I; and the renders of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk I and Mk IX.

Panzer VI Ausf. E Tiger I:






The Tiger I received a new wheel located at its back side, a new component located inside of these 'shield plating' for the Maybach engine outlets and a small adjustment on the chassis and the 88 mm KwK 36 cannon.

Since it is the Ausf. E model - different from the H model if you compare some photos of its turret, wheels to guide its tracks, the additional engine exhaustion outlets, the smoke canisters and extra tracks on the turret and wiring, I may preserve some components in case I would make the other model - or the heavy Sturmtiger - with this one having a fixed bunker over the turret and a big mortar over the 88 mm KwK 36 cannon.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk I:






Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX:






The Spitfire Mk I and Mk IX received a major update during 2021 and the transition to 2022. I made the 'door' at the left side of both planes for the pilot to enter the cockpit. I plan to add a bone for it and animate it in the landed mode. In addition, I remade its texture after I applied the mirror for the fuselage and the wings. Now it doesn't look messed up if I would add a second material for these components and select some vertices, edges and faces to load a texture of one side to match with another and the two textures don't connect well.

Some materials may be preserved like the one for the spinner (especially the Mk I model) and the green texture for the stripe at the end of the Spitfire Mk IX fuselage. Another thing that came into mind is using masks inside of the Shader Editor. In case you wonder what exactly is a mask in Blender, you can add a different texture using an Image Texture to attach it to the Diffuse / Principled Shader Node with a MixRGB. The idea for the mask is to add the lines of space between one metal plate to another and some details in case I would avoid using the main texture. It might be useful for roundels, decals, the Allied Invasion Stripes (the black and white stripes painted on the wings and the fuselage tail), smokes from the guns and engine exhaustion outlets and other elements.

After I make the bone for the 'door', the only thing to do to conclude the Spitfire is the texture for the panel. With both Mk I and Mk IX ready, I plan to make the Mk V. As for the clipped-wing Spitfire, I may plan to make it, but it will give me some work to adjust that section from the wing tip.

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.

Back to Work, P-40N, Kübelwagen, Jean and Miria - April 10, 2021

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 ...

New Updates for: Macchi C.202 and Macchi C.205 (new project) - October 11, 2021

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...
