Back to Work and new updates for: B-17G - May 19, 2023

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog here to start 2023.

I've been called by the city hall to work as an attendant at the public health center on Tuesday, then I passed the entrance exam before starting my job yesterday and I am qualified. Monday is my first day at the third time as an attendant. At least it is good news.

For the civil service exam on May of 7th, the preliminary results arrived but there will be some changes, probably for the next week or next to May's end, with the classification scheduled for June. For the calling process to work as a teacher, probably I'm going to give it up due to the lack / low numbers of vacancies for mathematics teachers.

Enough of that, let's go for the important. For this Blog, I'm going to show you the new images of the Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress.






Amazing, huh? The B-17 received a new texture. It took me a while to arrange the UV Mapping for the fuselage, the wings, the flight control components, the engine housing and other components. I still need to make the UV Mapping for the upper turret - it's the only the components that continues using the temporary material. There are some painting mistakes around the fuselage, but I plan to fix it before concluding it. I disabled the render visibility for the nose art and the roundels for the bomb group is the 385th instead of the 381st

The landing gear from the wings looks nice along the flaps and the engine turbochargers. The last component for the plane's engine was remade in a separate Blender file and was imported to the B-17 and the P-38 Lightning. The idea is to try unify separate pieces from the turbocharger air intake and exhaustion outlet. The results are quite good.

One thing I want to highlight is: this texture is the second model I made for the B-17G Flying Fortress. The first one I made was for the Texas Raiders.

Speaking of her, I'll show you the renders of that aircraft.








Outstanding. For the Texas Raiders' texture, I used the Blender painting tools to mark the black areas I wanted to erase in order to use Gimp and setup as Erase Only - leaving that spot to show the red and dark gray painting on the fuselage, wings, elevator and tail fin while the unused areas would be removed without doing it on the canvas itself. Although it would make the Gimp files a bit heavier to load, it's one of the forms I adopted for painting aircraft and other models.

I'll rig the B-17 in order to conclude this project. But first, I must texture the upper turret and add the engine exhaustion markings and the fuel spilling from the ports on the wings; and its interior.

Well, that's it for now my friends. I hope you like 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 ...

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...
