New updates for: P-38 Lightning - September 22, 2023

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another blog in 2023. We are now on September 22 - past the half of 2023. Now that I'm working and my 7th semester has started, my time for Blogs decreased to some occasions. At least it is good to be back at work.

I'm still waiting for any news related to the new civil service exam of this year - with some to the education and health departments; and the subscriptions to be open in case I plan to apply for another public job. Like I said before, I may give it a shot, but it will be the same thing as before - Reserve my days and my spare-time for study. If I fail, it would be another civil service performed, with my money being spent for nothing.

For the calling process to work as a teacher, I definitely gave up due to the lack/low number of vacancies for mathematics teachers. My mom said for December they might re-open the subscriptions. However, I'm not sure I plan to do that in case I'm going to wait for too long until they reach to my position and then I announce my interest for that vacancy.

Enough of that, let's go for the important. For today, I'm going to share you the new rendered images of the P-38 Lightning.










Alright. The Lockheed P-38 Lightning in its colors. I remade its texture with a junction of Blender painting tools and Gimp - using the same painting method of masks and several canvas with Gimp. Then I added the Bump / Displacement node and texture for the aluminum sheets spacing while I had to draw the lines manually with Blender painting tools. The results are nice.

After the Bump texture, I added the decals for the fuel port. I made it on the original texture, but I changed it as I planned to make it as decals - similar thing for the roundels. Another thing I added is the scratches and the wearing marks on the plane's wings. The idea was based on War Thunder since most vehicles presents the weathering effects before / after every fight - just to create some realism in order to avoid making clean vehicles. I had the idea of adding the fuel spilling from the ports and, my brother also suggested me adding some bullet scratches in vertical lines. But that would be for another time.

For now, the P-38 Lightning is complete, the Armature and the animation sequences has been reviewed and fixed. I plan to make some 3D animations after my first attempt that I shared on YouTube.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
