I was dreading the grille and headlights a bit, but they went in a little easier than I expected. With that, the main part of the body is done. I will be incorporating the bumpers into the base piece, to give me room for some variations—smallest bumpers for ’72, small bumpers set further out from the body for ’73, battering rams for ’74-76. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale #3dModeling
Blender 5.0 will feature improved Cycles SSS (Sub-Surface Scattering). You can already try it in the 5.0 alpha builds.
It's always an honor to see my Monster Under The Bed scene being used as a Cycles benchmark again… 
Added my giraffe SDF Modeler and Blender scenes to my shop. You can grab them here for free:

Details are filling in. The single air extractor vent on each C-pillar (and the tail lamps with a single segmented lens) mark this as a post-1972 E3; the entire rear license plate recess being stainless means it's a ’73 or later (a painted center portion was a ’72-only oddity). And the side marker lights obviously mean that this is a US-market car. So much information embedded in these design choices! #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale #3dModeling

Flickr, Digg and Fleck were popular at the time.
The E3 is taking shape nicely. I already had a ’70s BMW finned alloy wheel, so I threw those on—same wheels I had on my Bavaria. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale #3dModeling

Anyway, the tricky G2-continuous shape is now on the tool wall. It's a tray for this dual tape dispenser. (It absolutely did not need to be G2-continuous. I just wanted to play.)

A little progress impression of my demon head doodle.
Fooling around a bit with Dyntopo (dynamic topology) in Blender's Sculpt Mode, this gargoyle-like head emerged. Don't know if I'm going to finish it, but I kinda like it so far. 
I made a relatively simple thing that brings Fusion 360 to its knees. As in, every change, no matter how trivial, takes over a minute to recompute.
It's the outline shown above, extruded and filleted, then chamfered around the top edge. It ran fine until the chamfer. F360 can't calculate the chamfer directly; I had to do nonsense with a tapered extrusion.

Today is G2 continuity day! I learned this morning that Fusion 360 can do G2 continuous fillets, and I needed to model this anyway...
According to the color map (right image), the fillets are G2 to the bottom, but the small fillet isn't G2 to the sides. And the corners are awful. I don't know what to do about those.
If you think this is going to be another Gridfinity bin, you're close but not right.

ICYMI: 
How did light shape religious experience in ancient Mesopotamian temples?
We investigated this by reconstructing and analysing lighting conditions in four common types of sacred architecture from the ancient Near East.
Using standardised 3D models, we simulated how natural light entered temple spaces.

Couldn't resist porting my sci-fi plasma gun to Blender for some grungy LuxCoreRender materials and atmospheric lighting.
