Bravo! Well done! 👍

Wild. My computer would choke on all that subdivision.

That said, pretty good likeness!

@Rich-O-Brien thank you! By "spindle arm" are you referring to the lead screw that drives the moving anvil?

@tuna1957 said in Just moved in (Render):

@L-i-am Excellent job. Only critique is the brightness of the garage space seems to take away from the more somber overall look of the render…. Take it for what it’s worth….. Everybody sees and interprets renders differently. Still all in all a great job.

Hi Tuna, with all respect to your comment the lighting was central to the intent of the image, ying and yang, light and shade

@Mike-Amos Nice work mate👍

@Bryan-K

Ta mate, replacing lost component library means I can rethink stuff too/

Top notch as always!

I am using sketchup diffusion to build textures of buildings.

At first I am looking for sketches of fassades.

then I import it to Sketchup, define the colors in the promt and render it.

then I project the texture on my object and model the rest.

This is very fast and effective.

@majid awesome work, as usual!

I think I actually have this compass, its in one of my draws of stuff that I'm still sorting through.

Top notch as always! Well done!

Seriously fun exploration here!

@majid !!!
Nice to see you here. Thanks for the compliment!

@L-i-am

Appreciated mate, thanks.

I know of developments when I was looking which included a simple arm on a low friction bar at the tope of the unit, sorry but I cannot find pictures, it was thirty years ago though. I did this for giggle and kicks, no doubt if I were seriuous about it I would look up knew (Pun intended) methods.

In short, you are correct. Keeping the orientation of the 'needle' will be difficuilt even in the example you posted.

Thanks mate, I appreciate you taking the time.
