Heinkel He-162D Volksjaeger

Over the past week I’ve been working on a little project in Blender and now its time to move onto something new, so here it is:
The background matte was made in Photoshop and the model in Blender. If you’re interested in getting into 3D modeling or animation I recommend checking out Blender, you can find it here: www.blender3d.org .
Also I’ve just setup a new CG Portfolio section as well so I’m hoping on expanding that as well.
Enjoy!
Well, I have something slightly different for all you fanatic readers out there and its to do with graphics, but have no fear I also have included some electronics at the bottom of this post as well…
Anyway today I opened up my laptop to find I had photoshop open so I though why not try my hand at something graphical today?… so I figured if Car Photo + Imagination = Imagination Car Photo then I should be able to do something rather interesting and here is what I came up with:
A nice Holden Monaro… The original photo is from http://www.carpw.com/vauxhall+cars/monaro/vxr+(2005)+170/?1
And here is a nice before and after:
So now for some electronics,
I have just moved my Pic Programmer which I built not long ago from the prototype board and put it all in a nice case and everything:
I have made it so that you still have to use a prototype board to hold the PIC but all I have to do is connect it up to the 5 wires on the cable, this is so I don’t have to worry if I want to program a PIC with a different amount of pins.
Also in my previous post about regarding PIC Programming I mentioned that my initial problems were due to a faulty serial cable but I was wrong… I bought a new serial cable and it gives the same readings as the ‘faulty’ cable. I have came across a serial port power booster that can be made using a MAX232 chip I will have a go at making, and will hopefully fix my voltage problem.
On other news I have been mucking around with a 3×4 keypad and PICBasic as well as giving my self crash courses at Assembly. So far I have got the circuit to beep everytime a key is pressed… stay tunned for more exciting info on my progress of making the most advanced combo-lock the world has ever seen!
