I’d like to introduce some photographs that I’ve made up my mind to make 3D restoration of the fighter of this phantom. They’ve given me a chance. In those photographs, they made me find an appearance to dance in the sky like swallow, at the same time, hidden brightness and darkness in last war, balance of destruction and creation. It can be said that a certain kind of social dandyism felt by this airframe has been a meaningless inheritance that Japanese seniors (my father’s age) left now. However, wishing that it keep existing on the corner of the mind to which this inheritance longs for peace indefinitely doesn’t stop. ・・For my grandchild and all families.
J7W1 Shinden dismantled in “The Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration, and Storage Facility”.
J7W1 Shinden(1946-1946) restored by GHQ after end of the war
This is completion of framework. The iron frame is united to the outside wall and the roof. If the size has no mistake, it must be fit. This moment is strained most on an actual architecture. It is the same strained for 3D. As I thought, some mistakes were there. Then, the position of some pillars has been adjusted. The indoor lighting position is adjusted before the lighting window of the roof is put up. This is the timing for “Electric appliances store”. Rendering the hangar where the completion of framework was completed. A little old-fashioned hangar has been being gradually completed.
Next time, let’s approach the elaboration and the outside environment etc. of an internal rig (equipment and others) and the outside wall.
The size of the object seems to be true if an object of comparison thing is there. Size of window pane, number of boarding steps, and car license plate, etc. were adjusted.
This time is for modeling of the outside wall and the roof. They have to be fit completely against the iron frame that was installed. The concepts for the hangar roughly are as follows. The front entrance is wide, and the front has door cases on a right and left sliding door and both sides. The height of the building is about 7m. The wall has a big window for the lighting. The lighting window is put up to the roof. The window pane is partially opened. The glass adopts the becoming cloudy glass in principle. Lighting equipment is put up internally. The maintenance machines and some equipments for repair are set up. The basic structure like the below was planned by the above-mentioned setting.
Adjustment for them will be going to step by step from next post.
A small hangar is planned for Shinden. The area of the hangar is just a size that J7w1 Shinden completely enters in. First of all, the structure of the iron frame was planned. Because a modern hangar is not suited for Shinden,legacy type is good image. They are the roughly following feeling.
The prototype of the roof and the outside wall will be made next time.
“界隈-Kaiwai” means “the vicinity for being daily life” in Japanese. When “Vicinity of Ginza” etc. are said, it is comprehensible. Saying in the social anthropology, “the vicinity” means “People’s fragrance”. “Vicinity” makes feel us “Person” and “Daily Life”. The supporting player is also important. The tool,furniture and “Synopsis”.
The restoration of the concept of Shinden was tried by 3D application for about two years from July, 2007. A lot of unsettled processing still remains in a technical problem, an informational problem, and a time problem, etc. However, I want to make it to the last stage. Now, I’m groping next theme. Then, the image of about 80 that had done rendering up to now at the restoration process was put together as “3D Shinden Restoration Gallery“. The fighter of the phantom decided to assume the restoration end of it without installing arms after all. Lure Head
The environment, the material, reflectivity, and the resolution of the last post “Skyward” were changed and re-rendering was done. The pilot was unloaded, engine was stopped this time and cockpit was opened. It is an impossible problem in current QuickTime and my old Mac to make the animation by this fine resolution. After all,let’s leave animation to special software. It will make elaborate the glide slope and reflecting at next post.
Old Strata is unskilled to make animation. Strata 3D is traditional software of the still picture. It’s not easy to render scalable move. However, it is considerably interesting to make a short animation. A little dream bring to me a scalable dream. There are an elegance moves though they are so rough resolution. Their concept is quite different from recent animated cartoon software. The image below is a usual still picture. Movie below is an animation ,which was edited by Strata’s extention. It’s fun absolutely.
My mother died in April. She lived to be 88 years old. Dead’s soul spends for 49 days with the family in the custom of Japan. Her ashes spend this period with my family. It is an important period. The time of saying good-bye for the 49 days were finished, her ashes were laid in the family grave today. She started new life by side of my father’s ashes in the world of soul again. New name of soul was given by family temple. Her soul will come back to my home to see my family once a year from this year.
There is a troublesome concept of name of an era in Japan. It is because the Heisei era name always cohabits with the Christian era name in even to every corner of life. What meaning exists in Japanese people? Why is the name of an era necessary? April 29 is named “Day of Showa era”. Today is Christian era 2009,April 29. At the same time,it means the 21st year of Heisei era,April 29 in daily life. This date method is popular operation than Christian era. But, the computer refuses this date. It is converted into the display with 2009. However, the Heisei era is used for the driver’s license and the resident registration.
That is a troublesome.
It’s Vernal Equinox Day in Japan. Speaking in a Japanese way, a season is changing from today. It is spring in a calendar. A cherry tree blooms in about two more weeks. If a cherry tree blooms, Japanese consciousness will become spring truly. It is a curious race.
2 years’ renderings were summarized at 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Bad modelings and renderings are these 20 times. There are also a lot of part with no modeling. The similar is different from the identical. The similar is merely concept similar. “Looking like” is that it’s not “similar”, too. This must be true.
The appearance of the earth seen from the KAGUYA (SELENE) is telling what is now required for. John Lennon’s message can be heard of. Won’t you look up at a night sky and think now together for our children who bear the next generation?
There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It’s easy.
Nothing you can make that can’t be made.
No one you can save that can’t be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It’s easy.
While listening to new President’s inaugural speech, I’ve noticed being impressed by the energy that gushed to the inside of my heart.
This was True impression after a long time.
Why did my heart tremble with tears although I’m Japanese?
Possibly it was too sentimental. Being based on various susceptibility, it was the universal message for myself.
It may be having seen beyond his words the justification for existence of the past, the present, and the future of myself who have lived in this era.
It was the precious time which looked at the intention to leave.
Mapping of the main wings was redone with the negative image. Using the negative image makes a clear rivet. However, a tricky problem was found in this work. That is, it was that not only a rivet but a “knot” rises together. The surface smoothness of wings are lost by this method. In order to solve this problem, it turned out that Bump processing of a rivet and a knot should be processed separately. However, my 3D software cannot express unevenness simultaneously by the Bump picture of one sheet. Since the armored surface of actual J7W1 was not clear for my eyes, it is unknown, whether the rivet of body was rising or embedding (embedding is appropriate if air resistance is taken into consideration). If I went to a Paul E. Garber Facility, it would be quite obvious … it can’t be reality… anyway the best suited way have to be expected. Positive image and Negative image make a subtle difference in this work as you know.
Recently, “Momo” was found on my pupil’s note after a long time. She was as usual suspicious and fine. The troublesome who is called “time” comes closely with a excuse called “lack” every year about this time. Lack means being chased in time. We must do something for being excellent hurry man. But… What hurry for what?
I’m always laughing at “The Men in Grey”.
All of you should take it easy.
Japanese here.
My Mirrored Drive Doors Mac has broken. Power supply parts are criminals. Since it is already the parts of production stoppage,it is not found yet. The used model is a very popular model (over ¥100,000). So,3D rendering is carried out by old old G4 slowly. Re-elaboration work of 3G Shinden does not progress at all. Updating of this blog also tends to be overdue. But some comments which come occasionally encourage me. It’s thankful to a visitor!
Cool 3D animation of Boeing 787-8 was found by youtube during data search. This is Fhilippine Airlines 787. This is promotion movie which Mr. John0619’s site FS Pinoy (http://fsxpinoy.110mb.com) posted.
The large-sized plane has very calmly(not sound) good feelings. It is my favorite feeling from my childhood. There is wrapping power like a mother in. In my childhood, I’ve often been looking at the passenger plane at Haneda Airport all day long. I’ve been to Fiji by JAL DC-8 (probably, nobody knows) 38 years ago. The inside was very narrow with a small seat. It took very long long time to get to Fiji. Passengers became a friend each other, and shared the long hard flight. It was a trip like a school trip. … Although it was hard, it remembers that it was pleasant. When the size of DC-8 is compared with 747 jet, it is a super mini size. It was the airplane by which it was still full of humanity. This 3D promotion movie of Fhilippine Airlines made old pleasant recollections remember. Details of mapping are fully brewing the weightiness of the large-sized machine. The terrestrial scene is also cool. There are also works of a huge passenger plane in FS Pinoy site. Fly here.
Is it a country of a plutocrat and an irresponsible bureaucrat?
