i used to do quite a bit of side jobs... but later i quit coz doing graphics for 8h a day (or more) and then going home to do more was just too much.
Iam feeling better although some cough does not want to get away.

Re: 3D Artists Reporting Back
The glider Fly In is not a big event this year. Day one had three para-gliders who flew once. One went long distance. Wind is too strong today. Some may fly tomorrow. Monday looks good but pilots usually don't stay that long. No hang gliders yet. They like the stronger wind.
My new camera is great so far except for filming gliders in the air. The old camera didn't continually refocus in movie mode. Auto focus, just like for a photo, to start then it stays that way during filming. Good for moving gliders. New camera continually auto focuses for movies. If the subject isn't in the focus box then tries to focus on the sky and gets blurry. That interrupts a good shot with blurriness and requires keeping the glider in the middle of the frame at all times. Manual focus is impossible to use outdoors and long distance. View screen is barely visible in sunlight, too small to see the focus.
There are some more modes like focus assist that I'll explore. Maybe there is a wide depth of field setting where nearly everything is in focus. Maybe landscape mode.
Fire fighting planes that are flying low today. (Forest fire in the mountains.) I might test different modes filming them.

Re: 3D Artists Reporting Back
Congratulations!
The glider Fly In was not big this time. Four or five pilots. Too much wind Saturday. All para-gliders. No hang gliders. Para likes less wind, hang likes more so more flying when both types are here. Some will fly today, Monday, but I'm back to work. No movie for this one. Not many flights and I'm learning the new camera. I got some good footage after finding the good settings.
Med-evac helicopters (hospital nearby) and fire fighting airplanes (forest fire) flying low over the landing zone.
Long ago the landing/take off strip of my town's small airport was lengthened to accommodate the big fire fighting tanker planes. In the old days some of them were remodeled old bombers.

Re: 3D Artists Reporting Back
Air show was fun. At least half and hour in line at the gate to drive in. Then a bus to the flight area. Met my nephew there.
Good photos. I struggled with the new camera for video. Also it liked to over heat and shut off when continually in movie mode. Some video better than I thought.
Fewer planes less variety than last time. Many more vendors that previously. F-22's, B2 bomber fly over, B1 bomber, F-117, F-35's, A10's were missing. Two F-35's on the ground. The flying demo's were mostly historical planes and the Thunderbirds. The Thunderbirds are F-16's.
Probably the troubles in the world now mean that much of the aerial goodies are deployed or on stand by and not available for airshows.

Re: 3D Artists Reporting Back
you are right, that company is now very busy making inflatable M1A1s and HIMARS for Ukraine, even having a heat source for it to look real in infra spectrum. Its quite pricy tho... would be nice to have one on the garden, but its really expensive :D

Re: 3D Artists Reporting Back
Airshow video. Nothing fancy for editing. Just put photos and clips together.
Rumble's player likes to default to low res. Use the settings to select 1440p or 1080p. Sometimes the controls won't auto-hide in full screen mode. Press F twice, toggle full screen, might fix that.
Bitkar that aircraft list is of the planes that were not at this one. This one had many vendor booths with food and souvenirs and not many planes. I'll do something with the previous airshow sometime. It has those planes.
