Glad to see you're still up and running! I was beginning to think you'd gone on another extended hiatus.

Indeed, there's still a lot of things that need to get done at the moment with regards to those B5 vessels. Incidentally, I tried Orulex, but it apparently proved too much for my laptop's CPU to handle.

 

[Buck Rogers]

Time is still short, will continue to work on finishing open projects.

Time is still short, will continue to work on finishing open projects.

So, when are we going to start working on those B5 vessels again?

Holding a constant speed of the vehicle is an amazing feature!

I'm wondering how these windows with rounded corners were made:



Maybe they were made separately from the cabin mesh. I just can't make rounded windows for my airship, so they're rectangles:

 

[gattispilot]

I think you can round the edges. I have done that on orion

 

[misha.physics]

Thanks. The difficulty is that my windows mesh is separated from the cabin mesh.

It looks like the solution is to round the edges before separation, but I don't know how to do that (in Blender) for now.

But I'll learn that when I start making airplanes.

 

[gattispilot]

Can you share the mesh. The cabin windows can rounded and then the glass inserted. I use anim8or.

 

[misha.physics]

@gattispilot, yes, of course. I attach my BLEND file (I'm using Blender) of the cabin mesh before windows separation from the cabin. Also, I converted this mesh into OBJ format, so you can import (open) it in Anim8or.

 

[gattispilot]

so what I did is cut the corner and move the center of the curve up and out to get the curve edges

 

[misha.physics]

Thanks, could you please share this OBJ or/and Anim8or file.

 

[gattispilot]

sure. Here I cut the in half. Push the window in a bit and the extruded the side to give it a ledge.

 

[misha.physics]

Thank you. It seems I have made the similar rounded windows in Blender now. I'll try this in the future meshes.
