*date of release-wise, will keep updating this list

[Richard Vo]

Keep heating up, man

[AdityaB]

Ok, I guess I shall use available resources for ground objects for version 1 of my next map.
Will see about making the ground objects in subsequent versions of the map.

i have some guesses for your map:
New Delhu
Mumbai
Dhaka
Nepal
Bhutan
Maybe somewhere outside the indian subcontinent

well, nice guess V8-DLA....
happy flying

EDIT:
well, started my next scenery another from the indian subcontinent
will let you know...

[AdityaB]

So, from now on this thread will be frequently updated....i just completed getting through/getting a hang of blender (i guess)

Thanks to all those who helped me learn , a lot!

More to come

[AdityaB]

8:47am:

An-26 "Lucky" in development stage!

In reference to the CONTEST, i have started of with construction of An-32RE will keep you updated frequently ...
please put out your suggestions if i am going wrong somewhere (which i already am! the attached photo below is the number 7 view ) or can add something

Thanks a lot

An-32

1:30pm:

B737-800, SpiceJet livery in progress...

B737 Spicejet

2pm:

Started off repainting A320 indigo....


7pm:

Started off repainting A319 Druk air....
(Decals are a little tough )

Yes, if you wondered, all aircrafts will be added into South Asian Aircraft Pack....

Thanks a lot

[AdityaB]

ok, now i was making SpiceJet Decal..... and encountered this problem:
why is there a different shading while i am making this decal? See difference between 'J' shading and 's' shading and 'i' shading???
also, why does 'p' type problem happen?? I mean not shaded face, although there are the edges...??

I believe it is something to do with the height variation of the vertices??
But, FYI, there are no differences between heights of these vertices! All the vertices lie in the same plane!

Thanks a lot

[NightRaven]

This is due to the normals of the faces. Currently from that viewpoint, the letters i, e and j are visible in object mode but the other letters are not: they are visible on the other side. Fix this by selecting the faces of the 'invisible' letters and press W --> Flip normals.

[AdityaB]

Got it, thanks NR

Also, one more thing how are custom flare and weapons loaded?? (rg. decaff's flares, other custom weapons which rooted in user folder??)

Thanks a lot

[AdityaB]

how is the 'pick up colour' done in blender 2.4.......

google searches tell me to use the brush tool, but where is the brush tool??

thanks a lot

EDIT:
2pm:

if you noticed different shades of red....thats the problem, how do i pick up a colour on the model....

thanks again

[decaff_42]

Take a look at my tutorials:
Custom Decals

Also this beginners series may be what you are looking for here

Take a look at these text tutorials as well.

Yes, thank you Decaff...

Actually I have downloaded all your YouTube videos and carefully using blender watching them

Take a look at these text tutorials as well.

Got it here, thanks a lot,
Learn to use blender part 3

I did not know about your text tutorials....

Thanks a lot

[NightRaven]

generally for me when I want to obtain a colour already on the mesh I turn off my painting mask and right click on the colour that I want. This is a whole lot faster than going to the 'Sample' button.

Ok, will try this too....

I have not gone back to repainting.

Will try both (Decaff's and NR's) method....

Thanks a lot

[AdityaB]

ok all faces now have same colour

Thanks a lot

WIP:
An-32 construction was stopped and started again due to improper image

question:

How do i un-shrinkwrap in blender so as to get a text or a logo from another .blend file??

Thanks a lot

[NightRaven]

It would be somewhat difficult given that you don't have the original logo/text to begin with. The only way I know is to make the logo a separate object (if it isn't already). Then, depending on the orientation of the mesh, you would want to scale the mesh to 0 in the x-, y- or z-axis to "flatten" the mesh (press S >> X/Y/Z). You might want to scale the resultant 'flat' logo/text in the x-, y- or z-axis until you are happy with the proportions.

also, I'd think it would be best if you work in orthographic view.

Well, these are orthographic view, by the way

i understand about the un-shrinkwrapping thing...hmmm

anyway,

WIP:
2pm:

4.15pm:

the differential colouring still remains even after flipping normals....(why does that happen?)

thanks a lot

also, moving ahead to the dragon decal....

question:
1) TeamSpeak doesn't work when one flies in the sim?? Mine does not....

How do you guys talk while flying? Do you use TeamSpeak Overlay???

2) How is splitting an existing polygon in YS Scenery Editor done, so as to get two different polygons? How is the split functions implemented??

Thanks a lot

[AdityaB]

WIP:

Do228

the Do228 work has just started...

An-32 also in good progress....
