"First Draft" of 3D Practice Aircraft
Since last month's update, I've continued to focus on learning Blender. In particular, I have been deep-diving into the world of texturing, and finished a "first draft" of the aircraft I've been working on for practice. First Draft: FJ-2 Fury To practice the skills that go into creating spacecraft, I've been creating a real-life jet fighter -- the FJ-2 Fury . It's one of the world's earliest jet fighters, from the legendary F-86 family . In the last monthly update, I had been working on creating a semi-realistic looking texture for the Fury, focusing on the fuselage. Since that time, I've finished the fuselage texture (for now!) and implemented similar texture setups for all of the other parts of the plane -- wings, tail, canopy, drop tanks. This is a big milestone, as it means I have FINISHED a first draft of the Fury! 🍾🥳🎊 I hereby present to you, in all its (moderate) glory, a first-draft Blender model of an FJ-2 Fury jet fi
