Kapiti Airport

Finally made some progress on this, still plenty to do but maybe I can keep up the momentum... Getting better at Blender, these days I tell AI how I used to do things in 3D Max, and it shows me how to do the same thing in Blender.

Rob, looks like Postimages is having a hiccup. Syntax looks fine, none of mine are showing up either.

Cheers, Mike. Can anyone see the images?

I see you haven't lost your touch there Rob. Looks very nice. Just for 2024?

That's looking gorgeous Rob, bravo!

Gulp.
I mean, scenery design among many other computer-based activities, relies on coding.
AI is good at coding.
How long before you can tell it to rework all the sceneries you've ever done, no matter what the sim, and update it to the Latest Thing??
Creative people everywhere are interested.

Did a quick trip to Kapiti today, the weather was rubbish, but managed to get a lot of the photos I needed.
One new AI tool gives 3D models from a photo, so I might be able to include the Atua who stand guard at the little raupo walkway. This is Tumatauenga, the god of war and mankind. I don't know if I have the skills to include the native vegetation though.



EDIT: Kapiti Airport is a bit weird, really, much of the airfield bordering the main road has been developed with huge hardware stores, a supermarket, and lots of small businesses. Last time I visited there was one new building with some vibrant businesses, but this time the entire building was empty. The guy at the service station (who panicked when he saw me wandering around taking photos) said that the rent got too high. I don't know if the airport is the landlord, and I don't wanna get into my views on the airport management, but I wouldn't be surprised that this sort of thing will happen more and more there.
