Wow!! My grandma had that sawing machine in her closet! Did you turn it into and art table? Painting is looking really good, can see you have to add a few parts that did not show in original picture. Try to give the painting a touch of you, a style of your own, so that makes it yours and different from the picture. I know you are recreating the pic, but would be fun to add something small and different that makes it yours; and I do not mean the signature that goes without saying. And no not a red nose!! That is not what I mean ether. Very niiiiiiiiiiiiiice work.

Week later,......still at it.

new painting i did the other day. it's finally warm enough to paint!

Super cool

A WW1 pilot. (a work in progress)

The right one is a detailed model of 222.000_something vertex (kind of reference points for the computer to display the model)
The left one "only" has 1143 vertex and a normal map, a texture that simulates structure and bounces light off in a way so it imitates the details of the far more complex model.

It still has to be textured and rigged (given a "skeleton") so it can be moved in a game engine or a video.

Yep, we can see from the painting it took a long time.
Now your wife can have her car back?

Definitely cool Rudolf.
But why did you leave the six guns/holsters out?

Pilots in WW1 were issued a gun for only one purpose. To prevent them from dying when the plane crashed or burning to death, since High Command thought that giving them parachutes encouraged cowardice.
Lucky pilots had seatbelts.

I've read that the British Navy used to have a similar view on whether or not sailors should know how to swim. They thought they would be more likely to jump overboard when they came under attack.

I think Gannet was responding to the pose of the pilots. They look like they should be in an old Western, at ten paces and ready to draw! Lmao!

Cool stuff, RR.

AWESOME!!

First I like to say I am happy to see you back and just in time for Christmas, second love the 3D pic of the city, will this be use in DF ELITE? Great work Rudy, so many details hope this is the new town that will replace the one that was destroyed in Elite. I’m looking to rent a new apartment.

nice Red

The land/city is all black on my windows tablet.
Is this my tablet low resources, or is it a model of a city at midnight?

Might be that their internet cable isn't long enough to reach New Zealand?

...or it's your tablet.

Nothing better than a good book, and a good glass of wine.

It's probably those darn worm hunting Kiwis again. They stretch the cable so thin that it wont take broadband.

Here in Holland we gotten as far as to grasp the concept of a kiwi being a fruit,.....but if you say so I'll believe it's a kiwibird's egg.

No, kiwi and egg.



Feel sorry for Mrs Kiwi !

"Kiwi fruit" was a marketing exercise, when we were kids we called them "chinese gooseberries"
